You want to re-thread the tank? It is just the screws that strip I think, just get some off a v35 wreck or something? I have a few here if you get stuck.

I have to look at redesigning my fuel system, specifically inside the tank. I need an in-tank surge assembly using another pump to feed the twins in some kind of container, hopefully that will allow me to run the tank to a lower level without running lean around corners.

Dose anyone else s pump have 3 positive wires and 3 negatives all joined up like this? also sounds like the pump ramps up and down according to throttle position?

this is what i ended up doing have a few things i want to run in the back so figured id put a bigger cable in.

You shouldn't need another pump if you can make something to contain your pumps that has one way gates on it (to let fuel in but not out - similar to the one way system on some sumps)

i was going to use it to turn the pump on and off with the old power cables

Looks good Dale, the stock pump does indeed drop voltage at idle and cruise to limit the flow, so the fuel doesn't overheat. Unfortunately the new pumps require more voltage, hence the need for the rewire. Are you mounting the relay under the seat there? What happens if a big bloke sits there, does the seat touch the relay?

Did you use the DW300?

Is that the stock pump you are running?

If so, be careful putting it on full 12V power. I know others have & not had a problem, but that was how I popped my motor. The pump would intermittently make a noise (sort of a buzz) & I suspect when that was happening it wasn't pumping right. I found out by going wot & the rest is smoky, rattly history.

yep i used the DW300, went in easily enough. so you reckon i can just pop the relay on and energize it off the old feed then the pump will run full ball all the time when the car is on, this is ok for the car/pump? atm its just running off the stock cables. yep it touches the seat a little it lines up with one of the box sections under the seat tho. if i sit on it i cant feel anything and im a 100 odd kgs or so haha

nup its the DW300 been in a few days running off the stock power cables seems all good so far

^ OK, all good. Do you notice it running richer at all?

yep its running quite rich atm but its always been like that i haven't noticed it change much so far with the new pump. needs a tune and a ecu for that matter lol! still searching for a fcon harness

^ OK, all good. Do you notice it running richer at all?

Why would it run richer? Surely the stock fuel pressure reg can keep up...

Definitely something you want to do before a tune, I have seen so many people fail on the dyno due to fuel supply issues and not having the pump hardwired, such a waste of time and money.

Good luck with the harness! What if I was to say there is a better alternative out there.

Better option? I wouldn't go that far yet... I am still learning the myriad of options the Fcon has to suit our cars, if only there was HKS factory support, like they have in NZ...

Yea scotty!!!

maybe talk to Stupidious!.....sorry Sidious!

I'll use my local support. :P

Dunno, but I noticed mine was a little richer when I put the stock pump on full 12V (at least when it wasn't buzzing).

What is this factory support you speak of haha

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
