Does This Look Like The Fuel Pump Has Been Swapped?

yep (to looking factory) with 1x missing 10mm bolt.

You will need to pull out the fuel pump cradle and see what's actually attached, a service lid/hatch photo won't show us much :)

Okay I'll pull it out and get another photo. I'll edit this post.

Thanks for your help so far. I also need to pick up a DMM to check whether the fuel pump voltage trick has been done

edit:

okay This is what was underneath the plate. looks kinda stock to me but I don't know much. The markings make it look like its from a wrecker. Maybe there was an aftermarket one in there at some point in time but not any more?7Nc8pTs.jpg

OP, we can't tell you anything about the pump without seeing the pump itself. For all we know, the original owner could've locked their kid in the boot and the kid has got his textas out and started doodling on the fuel pump access cover. Can you get a pic of the pump at all?

It's like me showing you a picture of a GTR without the bonnet open and asking if the engine has forged pistons.

huh? loom, what happened to the loom, 1 it looks fine and 2. that wasn't his question?

OP what does it say on the pump!? names, numbers etc

Oh, good grief. When insulation tape has been all unwound off a wiring loom it tends to suggest that someone has been in there doing something. No?

Seriously.

That's doesn't tell us what fuel pump there is tho, for all we know it could still be stock from a wrecker, Op needs to show the pump itself

Alright, I've never removed a fuel pump, does the black plastic cap unwind? Also I'm guessing I should disconnect the battery first.

I'll get another picture up soon thanks for your patience!

no need to disconnect battery, the car won't explode like the movies..

just unplug the lot and mark out the fuel lines to where it goes..

open fuel cap (to relieve pressure)

disconnect the electrical plugs

disconnect fuel lines (they will spray a little bit of fuel)

then open the black thing, by turning it anti clockwise, you may need a piece of wooden and a rubber mallet (there's a special tool for it, but meh)

then remove that black thing

pull the whole assembly out

Then curse the day you pulled the bastard off when the black plastic ring won't thread back on for the next 20mins while bending into the boot inhaling petrol fumes....lol

At least that's how I remember it.

Or if you decide to put a larger pump in there, say a 040, rage even harder because you can't find the groove the thing slides into and when you finally do, the pump hits the bottom too far and you gotta take it out again and adjust. Probably the ugliest job Ive done on my car.

Those texta markings won't be from factory, but at the same time not necessarily from the wreckers but it probably is the most plausible event. Something tells me a child wasn't locked in the boot.

Be warned, you might need a new gasket when putting it back in. A tip I read on here is to throw the old seal into the freezer to prevent it from expanding. If it expands its pretty hard to fit back in without kinking and if it kinks, prepare for a strong smell of fuel in the cabin and potentially a leaky fuel tank when you fill to the brim.

This!

And also the shape of the hole means you end up trying to cut your fingers off every time you turn the black lid.

Nissan only needed to make it 10mm bigger all around! Sheeeeesh!

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
