Hey all, has anyone out there in forumland come across this dilemma.

when accessing the fuel pump, i accidentally snapped off the male connector from the plastic fuel pump assembly to the fuel line (see photo)

anyone fixed this before, or has a spare one i could buy?

judging from the look of the fuel pump assembly, the whole piece is one giant molded piece of plastic and needs replacing :'-(

Yep, it's stuffed. You will need the top part of the assembly at least. Get a quote for the complete assembly from Nissan, you will quickly see you should have been more careful trying to remove the fuel line...

Hopefully someone else has a spare for you off a wreck, if not I may be able to send you just the top part from my spare assembly.

You have an M35 wreck Danny?

Nah sorry Scott, C34, i was under the impression that C34 went upto 2001 so was just giving the option if he has a C34.

Or does the picture explain which model it is?

It is exactly the same as an M35 tank, I assumed it was, unless the C34 one is identical... Perhaps the OP can let us know if he returns?

Hopefully he can get the snapped off pipe out of the line too. Replacement fuel rails would be a lot harder to ship.

C34 has plastic tank and the lid is held on by a spin on ring. That seems metal and lid bolts down = m35? At a glance very similar.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
