Boys and girls,

I took my car to be dynoed as it has been running like a sack of sh%# lately at JPC in Thomastown (best guys ever).

My first run revealed 120 kw@wheels for an R33 with a full 3" exhaust, new turbo, cold air intake and boost, thats not very good at all.

Anyway after cleaning plugs, coils and playing around for two hours on the car I managed 140kw@wheels.

I have a lazy fuel pump thats on its way out and the boys on the dyno said that anything higher than 140kw starts to lean the engine out.

So, I need a new fuel pump. Any ideas, prices or places in Melbourne to get one??

I don't need a 500 horsepower pump. Just something for a mildly modified skyline

Warren, sorry I missed lunch I will go next time for sure. I'm having alot of people asking about JPC so here are their particulars below. I've been to a few shops and these guys are the best by far. I also have a friend that sells every conceivable part for imports so if you need anything then let me know. (he ended up supplying a GTR fuel pump for me)

They were fantastic. They know turbo cars backward. $88 for the full tune and they seriously spent 2 hours on the car.

They have a very attractive young girl (on P's) working there called Nicole. She answers the phones. She'll hand you over to the right person $88.00 for full dyno tune (3 runs), cleaned and re-gapped all 6 plugs, cleaned all coils. and did some other bits and pieces

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
