Hi guys, im installing a walbro 460 e85 fuel pump into my r33 gtr cradle and will require at least half a meter of hose to sit intide the tank. Now im reading up that there is a special kind of submersable fuel hose but im having trouble finding out where i can get some of this on extreemly short notice? Anybody have any experience obtaining this? Im also in sydney if you can point me in the right direction! Thanks guys

find an efi shop. there is one in newcastle who has it in newcastle half meter packs. don't bother asking any auto part shop as they won't have any idea it exists. you will find the inside of all fuel hose is rated for contact with fuel but outside layer isn't and the normal stuff won't last long.

I still can't find e85 compatible hose if that's what you are looking for.

The e85 walbro pumps come with a short length, I tried sourcing them from Aznew who supply the pumps here, they couldn't help me. Perhaps try Walbro themselves...

I just use the Proflow intank hose from VPW.

I've used non submersible hose in the past and it was ok for 98RON, not sure how it will behave in E85.

However if you look on eBay, at times you'll find Gates Submersible E85 hose for about $25 delivered for a 30cm cut

i just got a 1 meter length of aeorflow submergable (400 series) hose from rocket industries. They have aparently had a peice of it sitting in methanol for months with no sign of degradation and that shit is harsh! Quite cheap as well at $14pm

wow that's cheap, I might have to head down myself and replace all my fuel hoses

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
