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

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!

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
