R33 Gt-R Fuel Pump In Gts-T

[colourclassic]

Just picked up a 2nd hand R33 GT-R pump for my gtst, this is how it came (ignore the pFC):

1. The top feed hose above the actual pump has that little regulator/valve looking thing, which my stock pump doesn't have. What is it? Should I leave it on or just use a straight piece of hose?

2. Also seen in the pic, you'l notice there is no sock on the fuel pick-up tube. How important is it that I get one? The old piece was deteriorated and torn so I removed it. Can I buy one? Where?

Non return valve stops fuel draining back into the tank so you shouldn't have to prime before starting.

The fuel filter under the bonnet should stop crud getting to the injectors but the sock would stop it getting into the pump.

Life is better with both things in place.

Cheers man,

Could I buy a 'universal' sock or something from Repco and just fab it on to fit, or does the sock have to be a particular shape to fit in the tank?

I have a stock sock off a 33 GTS-t if you want it or you should be able to get a Uni one.

Just as long as it sits in the correct place for fuel pickup.

I tried it in my R31 (now with 33 GTS-t pump) and it didn't work well so I put the R31 strainer/filter on instead.

(was cutting out round corners)

Ah okay, well i'll try just use the sock on my old pump, if not i'll hit up repco, cheers!
