Needs hands on help! - Installing SAFC & Bosch Pump?


Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there was any guru's out there that could help install my new Bosch Pump and SAFC.

I have no idea about electronics and am a tad scared to fiddle with the fuel system?

Would be more than happy to travel anywhere in Brissie or Gold Coast for some help?

NO WAY He'd kick my arse all the way from here to kingdom come! Well maybe not kick....... damn I hope I can run fast because once he catches up to me I really am going to get a whuppin!

I would definately offer to help u out mate, but im just so full on between uni and getting the car ready, pm and ill send u come helpful advice on the S-afc so u can have a crack at it, as long as u can solder its not that hard at all.

I can give you a hand also with the fuel pump as I did mine. I don't have a garage which makes it slightly more difficult, however if anybody does, and also wants to do a fuel pump change we can have a 2-for-1 day :)

Man ive got so many eletrical issues that i need fixing .. but i dont knwo anyone that can help me up here.. so .. i have to wait till august to drive it back home for my mate to look at :)

So its like 5 months of driving with no break light, 1 headlight and a half working apexi :)

G'day Shane...

I'll deal with your post in just a few moments... Firstly I have some island jumping ladies to deal with... :)

Yes i agree! he has helped me so much. Thanks mate

I offer to pay him or give him beer but he just likes to be gay and not accept anything :)

Pfft all lies... You were the one who showed up with 24 Red Roses when you wanted your SAFC installed... And all I wanted was a measly 6 pack... :)

lol

ill be buying him something.. regardless of what he says

cos it would be costing me atleast $100 otherwise

Knore... I think I'll call you... son of rajab of the Gutters... :)

But like I've said before, PM me when your ready to go ahead with the install... Just bring me something wet to drink!

Likes it eh, hmmmm that is the last time I ride in his car, and I thought he was just rubbing my knee for good luck, :) jk AH h AHhahah HA hAhHA h ah HAha!
And you thought the cold sweat was from the sideways action didn't ya? When all along you were just getting all squishy in your pants... :devfu:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand back on topic....

Shane,

I'm more than happy to help out with your SAFC install... I've installed quite a few Apexi electronic devices in R33's now and I'm 100% confident I can install yours... I'll warn you now though that I'm not the quickest becuase I tend to take my time and make sure it's done properly...

Having said that, it's not that hard to do yourself with the help of these forums and the right tools and equipment but once again, I am more than happy to help... I *may* even be able to help with some mild tuning if you have a recent dyno graph with AFR's plotted and depending on the level of modification your car is at...

I've had my fuel tank open and I can confirm it is a bitch of a job to get in there... Once your in though it's all pretty simple albeit a little cramped... I haven't done a fuel pump upgrade in a R33 but I've had plenty to do with fuel pump upgrades in other cars including an RB25DET S13... Perhaps with a little help from Predator, my garage, and your car and money (:)), we'll be able to sort it out for you...

I'm pretty sure MJ (Island Girl) is thinking about getting a fuel pump soon and it's on my list of mods too but I'm not sure what the time frame will be for either of us...

There is quite a few people on here who have done the Bosch fuel pump upgrade so we should be OK in terms of finding useful info before we start...

What fuel pump are you planning on installing??

i am hoping to buy a fuel pump this week. I am thinking about installing it but im not sure on how hard it will be to do....

There is a thread somewhere on SAU detailing the procedure required for upgrading the intank pump for a R33... I'm not sure how much different the R32's are?

I saw your post re the Walbro pumps and all I've heard is that they are not capable when used at higher system pressures... IE: Forced induction with adjustable fuel pressure regulator or even the stock rising rate regulator...

Go the tried and proven Bosch setup IMO...

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
