Fuel Pump install^^^

Fuel sender cleaning^^^

These should help.

You'll notice I've posted in the sender cleaning thread, having opened the tank and pulling out the pump aswell as the sender, I found that a pump install isn't likely to be too tricky, especially if you're replacing with a stock unit.

Give it a crack !!!

Great thanks mate!

Give it a go yourself. The hardest bit is getting the cradle back on which is fidely. it should go back on easily if the pump and the brackets are in the right place. If it doesnt try adjusting the bracket. Make sure the tank is pretty much empty.

Tank is full which will be a prick. I'm gonna buy an aftermarket instead of an original R33.

How do people rate bosch 040 in tanks? is $210 plus free delivery a decent price?

Any issues with install i may run in to?

I have done a search btw just wouldnt mind a bit more info

cheers

Yeah the 040 is the go. You will need a hacksaw and some patience. When I did mine I was over 105KG and it was a SOAB, as you need to be fully in the boot with your hand fishing around in the tank. I suggest syphoning most of the fuel out. My car runs over 270 RWKW with the 040 without an issue.

Sounds good i've ordered the 040. Ive found a good guide which i can follow.

I've got a full tank of fuel, why is it such an issue?

if you havent bought the pump yet i have a 044 all setup ready to drop in from my car with every fitting required and its cheaper than just a new pump. (was running 390kw in my car)

f**k, Already bought the 040 mate. Would have taken you up on that

Haha alright i will syphon it thanks!

, can i get some help plz....

I have got my new bosch 040 ready to go in.

I have bought fuel resistant hose and clamps.

I went to supercheap and they didnt have chemical resistant wire... where can i get some?

Could i just use the stock fuel pump wire and solder on terminals at the end?

Cheers,

Ryan

From memory you wont need new wire it's pretty long. Yes solder will work.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
