I got a 040 fitted as low as I possibly could in my tank. Ran it to the warning light and it was still fine. That was because I had to not because I wanted to. I never let fuel drop below quater to half anyway.

Looks like you got it setup right. Should be much easier to slide in than the 040 with the modded bracket. f**k I hope I never have to go through that again. Its so hot inside the fuel tank and when it doesn't slide into place, the frustration kicks in.

I went to Clark rubber today and picked up some stuff to wrap it in and triple checked that it was fuel safe.

Just gotta find the nozzle that winds into the bottom of the 044 then I will be pretty much set

Going to make a walk through for everyone

I might just go a walbro or nismo direct fit

Direct fit all the way. It is no fun when you have to trial fit the thing half a dozen times to make sure the cradle is seated all the way home, the pump/bracket/clamps aren't fouling on the tank, and the sock is as low as possible in the tank... I was happy with the end result but it took some work.

Unsure with the Nismo or Tomei pumps, but with the 044 there was a significant improvement from upgrading the power feed to the pump. Stock wiring just couldn't do the job.

had this issue with the bosch 040 which is suppose to be a intank version? had to remove/retry/refit 3 times.

ended up getting fuel cut issue below 1/2 - 1/4 tank even tho the pump was mounted as far down as possible, ended up getting rid of it and replaced with a walbro, and never have been happier, so much quieter too!

if i had the coin, i'd choose a nismo pump anyday.

Yeah I sadly miss judged the situation I was in.

Not a single place would sell me something that I could use to connect the sock to the pump without it breaking down in petrol.

The guy who is tuning my car is going to install a walbro for me at the same time so all good.

zomg. I'm sure I wrote an article about this awhile ago for a GTR: wait, here it is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/111401-bosch-044-intank-r32-gtr/page__hl__gtr+044

Basically: the 044 is fine in fuel (mine's still in the tank and going strong); fitting isn't unreasonably hard for the flow; but there are reasonably-priced drop in replacements like nismo or tomei available now

that will get you close for similar money without all the fsck arsing around.

If you are considering Walbro and high HP you should check its flow at your required rail pressures like 65+psi (i.e. 38psi rail + 27+ psi boost) because you might be unpleasantly surprised at the falloff.

Cheers,

I've got a 044 mounted in-tank and though it's a bit of a squeeze to get in, didn't really have any trouble at all.

The sock attachment can be brought from some company down here in Melbourne. Can't remember the name but if you give Sabbadin Automotive a call and let him know what it is you're after, he'll be able to sort you out :cheers:

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
