And not holding pressure. You can see the pressure dropping off until the secondary feed comes into play at a certain duty cycle. The noise it's making is strange. Not there all the time.

Anyone else had issues with 044's? I haven't heard of any???!!?

I blamed my 044 at the nats and said it was at fault, turns out it wasnt and the sound change was the super hot fuel from the shit injectors! My surge and pumps were red hot!

The same pump lives strong today, mine constantly switch on/off as its staged off boost but so far no problem at all! I think 044 failures are not a common thing!

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Thing is, the noise happens from dead cold after not using the car for weeks.

Oh :/ That is not something i have heard then... I had all sorts of fuel issues, but certainly not what you describe...

I changed the secondary pump to the primary, noise gone and rail pressure was higher. Still holds pressure on song.

Either way, two new 044's are gonna be put in. Fuel is not something I wanna f**k around with.

Sounds like a good plan! Maybe ditch the old one and sell the good one as a lot of guys run the single in tank to get the GTST's to 350ish kw etc....

On a build like yours, overkill is never enough! My fuel system is WAY bigger than ill ever need but being its so important i went nuts with it! Shuddup and Take My Money was the approach i took :P

Thats this weekends project. Grrrrr. Better than popping an engine!

Yep, best way too look at it ;) Should be a fairly painless job? Where are yours mounted?

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
