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. :)

Cheers josh

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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
