Hi guys I am doing my friends gtr (turbos, exhaust, cam gears and major service as well as oil cooler etc) and I am done except for fuel pump, he was supplied (via ebay) a walbro pump which came with no instructions and looks very different to when I changed mine 6 months ago. Now this pump only has a straight strianer and no rubber insulator to take up the gap where as mine had a angled strainer and the rubber insulator and instructions. The guy he bought it off assures us that is will fit just use the nissan strainer and hose clamps, I tried this but it puts the pump offset which worries me. He rekons I must have got an evo kit but cant supply another as he said its not needed, has anyone had any experience with this? Hwn i did mine it was really easy and a 30 min job this is a real head ache and looks dodgy if I do what he suggests.

eBay fuel pump on a GTR? Are the turbos eBay jobs too?

Walboro and eBay are two wrongs.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Bin it and make him buy a genuine Bosch 044 from a proper parts store.

An 044 is an external isent it ? i would go for a 040 Bosch which is the in tank one your after..

Nope, so many mount internally. Can be easily mounted on the factory bracket.

040s are absolute shit due to the pickup design. I don't care what anyone says - its not a sock factory like design so it's shit.

It's really hard to find them and I don't understand why? How much mods are required for the 044? I have been running the walbro for 30000ks at nearly 300 kw without and drama but am happy to go for superior unit and btw no the turbos were bought from the forum and most of the parts from sau suppliers.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
