Also i didnt want to start a massive debate over that comment but i did an aftermarket fuel pump replacement when i had my 33, had the bosch 040 put in and it didnt raise pressure all i wanted to know was what a good option for the 34 was.

Nismo drop in. Or a e85 400lph walbro will do the job Thetis drop in models for skylines on eBay for around $200ish. There is a 450-460lph version swell that's drop in. You may as well go a e84 friendly one for the future. :)

pretty sure the e85 pump is not drop in. I have one, it is in but took some mods as it is a fair but bigger than the actual drop in pump, and it draws heaps more current.

I know the nismo pump is 100% drop in. The e85 460lph walbro make not be direct drop in but it is a intank fuel pump still. And still can be a drop in with a bit of basic mucking around. So yes it is a drop in fuel pump still as if drops into the tank. Just not a DIRECT drop in as the nismo pump is. keep in mind though the walbro is basically hAlf the price of the nismo.

Don't use the 040, the filter is prone to clogging and it is an old clunky design.

The Walbro 460L is overkill if you aren't tuning the car, even a Walbro 342 is more than you need, only costs $100, but still requires hard wiring the power.

I would be keeping the stock pump until you decide to tune it.

Chunky yes... I dont know why people use the 040 over the 044 as i ran an 044 with barb on the end and the original style fuel sock on the bottom of the tank, should solve that clogging issue... Worked perfectly and surprisingly wasn't loud! I blamed it for my fuel issues but it ended up being the injectors! I still run that same pump today but its now in the boot due to the external setup.

What does a 040 flow and what's a 044 flow? Sweet f all compared to the new walbro's

A single 044 got me too 350kw on an intank setup! How much power do you want to make? lol

I've got a single 044 that has been made to be a drop in. From memory I had to modify my cradle to make it a drop in. I put that in probably 5 or so years back. If I were to do it today I'd just use a walbro e85 friendly pump. Well plans are for me to make 400kw if I can. So I'll need to upgrade my pump. If memory serves me right the 044 flows 300lph but I could be wrong. 5+ yrs back memory not so great from regular weekend alcohol abuse haha. I'm more than likely still going a hta 3076r or 3582r on my built 25. Unless stao can come up with something pretty similar. Prefer to support a local bloke if I can. But FP hta just seems the ducks nuts at the moment lol.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
