32 Gtr Fuel Pump Rewire

Hi all,

Rewiring my fuel pump with a relay to suit a Walbro 460l but have ran into some problems..

It's wired as follows

On the relay terminal 30 goes to the battery via 8g wire

Terminal 85 goes to the chassis

Terminal 86 is from the old fuel pump wire (the side going to the fuel pump controller)((the trigger wire))

Terminal 87 is going to the fuel pumps positive wire.

The pump is earthed directly to the chassis.

Problem is the car turns over but won't fire. I can hear the fuel pump priming. It only runs when using the original positive wire on the pump

I have tried using different relays

Disconnecting the fuel pump controller

I even ran a wire directly from the battery to the fuel pumps positive just to see if it would start... And it wouldn't

The previous owner had wired the pumps earth directly to the body

Any help appreciated!!

Seems yours is wired the same.

Are you sure it is the fuel pump priming and not the attesa pump you are hearing?

It doesnt make sense that it will work with the original wire and then not through the relay.

Have you checked the terminals on the relay after you have switched the ignition to reds? By that I mean go to pin 86 make sure you have your pump signal then go to 87 and check to see if power has come through.

this is very weird.

maybe post some pictures

Cheers for the reply,

Yeah pin 86 gets power for a couple seconds after flicking the ignition on.

Pin 87 has power for a couple seconds also after turning on the ignition, I can heaR the pump and have checked with a multimeter that it's getting 12v through the relay

Something else is stopping it from firing...

Ecu is Nistune.

Something that needs to be double checked:

The polarity on the pump. Don't be embarrased if you get it wrong. From memory the black wire is positive on the fuel pump or something weird.

If the polarity is reversed it will sound like it's running but really it's going backwards and the car won't fire

The earth is attached to the chassis whether the pump is powered via relay or the original wire so polarity must be correct.

I did think the voltage going to terminal 86 might of been too low to turn the relay on (pump is getting 9.4v when the car is idling) hence why I tried with the pump connected straight to the battery.

Cheers for the replies!

Edit: I have a feeling the wiring has been messed with further up the harness

I don't like having a relay operating the FPCM operating another relay, simple is best.

So I'd use the ecu Pin 18 as my trigger. (Pin 18 goes to ground to activate the pump)

My relay would have:

Relay 85 to Pin 18 of the ecu.

Relay 87 to positive feed for the fuel pump.

12V+ in to Relay 30 and looped to Relay 86.

That's how its wired with the exception of the "red wire" being yellow/black in the 32r

I have tried a narva and a bosch relay with no luck.

Bypassing the relays it still wouldn't start..

The 'red wire' is not the yellow/black one that is earth. The power wire is white/purple. This is the case in 32 gts-t anyway I imagine it would be the same in GTR.

I think it's different. From memory there was a brown/white and black wires

My experience with re-wiring has been with re-powers where there's no problem cutting into a harness, and I haven't touched my GTR so if my info isn't right feel free to correct.

To me Mr Nissan has already done the job for you.

For the positive feed, you just have to install larger cable to the fuel pump relay and of course larger cable from relay to the pump.

On the negative side of the circuit, the FPCM etc can all stay where it is, simply supply the pump with a larger cable chassis ground.

I believe the fuel pump relay for a 32 GTR is behind the centre boot trim. You should find 2-relays, one is fuel pump the other is ATTESSA.

Cheers for the replies.

I have tried with the fpcm hooked up and disconnected.

I also tried using the trigger wire before the factory fuel pump relay to trigger my relay

I tried switching polarities. The pump just blew a fuse.

As stated earlier the pump directly to the battery running at full noise still won't get the car started.

Positive wire on a 32gtr is 100% black/yellow. I pulled the pump out to confirm..

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
