Tried lookin on Jaycars website, just looks like the normal gear.

I fitted a walbro pump last night and used only normal heatshrink.... then realised the potential for it to melt away from exposure to fuel.... :-(

Looks the go , just hoped I could source this within 24 hours otherwise I will have to put my fuel pump back together and redo the work again when I get the right shrink tube ..

So why does this stuff exist if it wasn't an issue with normal tubing ? (don't want to be the devils advocate here , just curious mate )

It depends on the chemical makeup of the plastic in particular. Petroleum breaks down certain plastics, some instantly, some over time. Ie its very easy to make napalm for that very reason

If it breaks down it seeps into the fuel itself and gets combusted in your engine. Not pretty.

Always good to be safe and check like what you're doing. Theres never any harm in asking imho.

Managed to find Jaycar's fuel resistant heat shrink kit . 3.95 it's cheaper than the normal stuff at super cheap !

For 10 minutes work I will change it over . Good soldering practice at least ... Lol

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
