Thanks guys. Yeah just a bit dodgy buy got me through 10,000ks no trouble but time to change. Right angle ones dont work? Do I just need one that goes straigh down? Im going to run a few strong rare earth magnets internally to clean up the crap, the filter sock had metal fillings around it!

Im using a 90 degree filter in my 33. Works just fine even to the end of the tank.

really? perhaps the holder puts it off on the right direction...mine was a deatschwerks and the holder made the filter sit the wrong way.

Why would the filter sticking out of the fuel cause an issue, as long as the pump pickup is in the fuel you should be fine. The direction the sock sits should have minimal impact, but of course sitting flat on the bottom of the tank or just above would be best.

45 degree socks are cheap enough for this not to be a problem anyway.

Nope, the gears inside are like oil pump internals, once something hard and incompressible goes through it wear will occur, then you may as well chuck it away.

It's only $100 for a genuine new one... If you buy from the right place of course. ;)

Ok cool, I ran a few litres through a bucket, it pumps fine and sounds like it did when I put it in, the high buzzing sound, but when its hooked up, its a low drone buzz sound when priming and afrs are way too lean everywhere. If it was stuffed it wouldn't pump fine out of car then go to shit in it? Ive changed fuel filter made no difference

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
