Tomei R34 Fuel Pump Install Mystery Part

[JustinP]

I am installing a Tomei fuel pump and it came with a genuine Nissan part (17065-05U00, A Valve Cut). Am I correct in assuming this is some kind of a dampener and I should replace the OEM small pinkish item which is pictured below with the new larger and metal item?

Second question - as you can see in the last image the pump has a second single earth wire and plug, in addition to the normal lead. The OEM pump does not have this and the white plastic fuel tank lid does not have anywhere for this to go so I cant plug it in to anything. Will this be OK? It appears to just be an earth to the body of the pump.

Cheers

OK so I installed using the new dampener. but could someone please confirm its OK to leave the second single earth line from the Tomei pump unconnected under the white lid?

I'm about to screw that horrible black ring back on now and I would rather not have to take it off again!

I didn't hook mine up. Another 2 ppl confirmed that they didn't either on nissansilvia.
