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 !!!

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)

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.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
