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

  • 4 weeks later...

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:

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
