So the option to go with an eflex setup is becomming more attractive but the part that still has me questioning is the fuel supply set up.

I have a 34 GTR and theres a fair bit of infor for for 32/33 guys about especially in regards to twin intank.

This option seems more attractive as its hidden and the associated fuel smells with surge tanks that some people get.

But the cost of going twin intank seems to be $1000 for the cradle (from power tune) plus the fuel pumps.

But surge tanks seem be available for around $200 plus fuel pumps.

So what other options are available for intank, $1000 just for a cradle just seems to be rather expensive.

As Scotty said mounting two pumps in the tank isn't hard.

To do it right you really should get the correct bulk head electrical fittings and run separate power supplies into the tank.

I've seen a couple that people have linked the pumps together using the original plug. It draws to much current and melts the connector.

Also you can either join the pump outlets together inside the tank and run a -8 bulk head out the original sender lid.

Or block off the original 5/16ths outlet port and install two new -6 bulk heads into the sender lid and run dual fuel lines.

I dont know if it was just because my intank was mounted wrong or not but without a surge tank my car runs out of fuel under hard cornering when Ive got less than half a tank.... never had an isssue on the street, but on the track its a different story...

not dead set on a in tank, just looking at available options.

Also will the new 400l e85 walbro support around 360kw with e85, and has anyone used the fitting kits that come with the pumps that states there for 32/33/34 GTR....

Edited by sinistaGTR

Some one on here (cant remember) did the figures and reckons they will do up to 450rwkw on E85...

i know Piggaz was going to fit one as his lift pump to his surge tank but there was a bit of work involved so he just went with the 044..

dunno if it came with a gitting kit.

im using 2 of the 400's in my surge tank... so quiet :D

Awesome thanks for the info on the new single pumps. If anyone has fitted one of these to a 33/34 gtr and can say how the fitment was or how they did it that would be great, especially with the pickup being away from the pump itself

Ok I have gained all the info out of this thread and various PMs with other users.

I will summarise what I have gained for any people looking into this for the future:

The new walbro 400L seem the go, but make sure that you get the new design the doesnt have bleed holes otherwise your going to have issues when it gets under 1/4 tank because the first edition 400L need to be completely submerged.

Nismo is holding up fine for ss8_gohan with nearly 400kw, so if you have a nismo and arent planning to go higher then keep your nismo, no surge issues etc.

Twin or surge tank setups is for the big power.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
