Hi Fellow Wagoners

I just installed a new fuel pump a Walbro 255l and all went together fine except Now when i first take off or put my foot down in any gear it seems like the fuel pump is struggling for a second then off we go,,,,,,,

i noticed after it was all done and installed that everyone is direct wiring them will this fix my problem......Or is this a different problem like the ecu cant work out whats going on with the new pump .

I did try and search for this but came up with nothing other than you should directly wire the fuel pump to get the max out of your new pump...

Any help would be much appreciated...

Cheers

Yeah I'm to sure what's going on I might have to pull it back out and check all the hoses make sure there is no splits or anything but its almost like there isn't enough power voltage for the first surge of fuel then it catches up....

I read the thread title & thought your issue was with a small fuel pump & that maybe a larger fuel pump would fix it. Then I read you already had a 255L Wallbro.. mmm, I get it.

Reminds me of the time the radio lost & found announced: "Lost, a large brown lady's handbag". I always wondered that had they'd given a description of the handbag, then the large brown lady would stand a better chance of getting it back.

Lol at the dangling modifier examples.

If you only changed fuel pumps, and not fuel pressure regulator, then you shouldn't have any issues - car should run just as before. I have the Walbro GSS341 as well (the 255l/h pump) and have never bothered to hard-wire it. Made no difference to the tune when installed. It has been running on a Nistune tune with a higher fuel pressure and larger injectors for a couple of years now without issues.

I have seen it affect the tune many times, although other times it is fine. Just because you had no issues doesn't mean everyone will be fine, your car may have even been modified in Japan.

The Walbro's are usually problematic which is why I suggest hard wiring them, as that rules out any issues.

I hard wired the pump on Sunday and has fixed the problem........for the $50 worth of parts and 1h of my time well worth doing ......

Only thing when doing the mod was making sure you cut the right wires and put the right wire in the right spot on the Relay other than that pretty easy to do.......

Just keep a couple of spare Fuses in the car and your all good...

In case anyone else is interested in doing this mod the 2 wires leading to the fuel pump were Black /yellow + and purple -....there were 5 wires going to the top of the fuel tank the 2 pin plug is the one going to the fuel pump and those 2 wires were thicker than the rest so made sense.....

thanks for your help people......

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
