Just wanted to ask before I brake something...

I need to pull my bosh 044 I tank out to visualy check it, I assume I just unscrew the plate ontop and it pulls out?

Is ther anything more to this, anything I cannot do or cannot let happen?

Also I also assume their is a rubber seal here somewhere, do I just get a replacement and replace?

Sorry if it's a noob question but I'm already having pump problems I don't want to compound them by Doug so

Ethin stupid I assumed was easy.

Make sure theres no dirt and crap that can easily fall in then you undo all the bolts and you should be able to gentle lift it out, it will catch on the float when it's almost all the way out so be careful and just swindle it out gently.

The seal will expand bigger than the groove when it comes out making it a prick to sit back in to seal it, a trick is to put the seal in the freezer to shrink it enough to sit back in the seal groove.

Do a search, there has to be someone that has documented the process on the interwebs somewhere.

When I took my fuel pump out, I just replaced the seal. I tried putting the old one back on but it was a bit annoying and the new fuel pump came with a new seal anyway.

If you worried about the wiring falling into the tank dont, It wont fall in. Like was mention above just make sure none of the fuel line clamps or fuel cell cover bolts fall in.

Also my advice is to wait untill you have less than 1/4 of a tank of petrol or less!

My tank has shit in it, it blocks the mesh cover of my pump,

It's booked in next Friday to have the tank removed cleaned and new pump installed properly.

Last pump I removed the mesh filter was caked.

It's now rapidly getting to the undrivable point and I want to see if I can unclog the mesh to last 1 week. If I half cock up te seal that will be ok till next week yeah? Cos I will..... I can be a bit mechanically special sometimes :P

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
