Just went to install my pump on the weekend and I popped off the lid. I havent drained the tank yet but the pump looks far down, Im not even sure Ill be able to change it. [This is while having myself squashed in the trunk to take a peek lol] Took a look under the car and to drop the tank it almost looks as if you will need to drop the sub frame.

What does everybody do here? Im going to try draining the tank and sticking my arm in but it looks like itll be a pain in the arse. Thanks guys!

You have to do it through the lid.

It's entirely possible. Just reach on in.

To drop the tank you absolutely do need to drop the subframe... aaand in any case, you still have to go in through the lid.

Source: Changed the pump in my car approximately seven million times.

So to pull the pump, its held on a bracket [see pic] that slides upwards, this is on the front inside. Size difference is obvious lol

Put in a Nismo R34 GTR pump as the GTT version doesnt flow enough for what I need. It is a tight fit and some modification is required. Ended up:

Trimming the feed line above the pump just below the upper notch as the pump is way taller.

Cut the size of the sock tube to put it roughly in the same place as the OEM pump sock.

Trimmed a bit of the bottom of the bracket [sock wont line up to bottom slot due to pump being wider]

Worm clamped it to the side of the bracket.

Trimmed one of the insulation tabs due to it pressing against the tank.

At this point Im hoping it doesnt make too much noise being against the tank, but only time will tell. :blink:

The good news is the connector fits right into the lid so no need to swap connectors, left the smaller ground alone as I have previously read it is not req for install. I have the tomei pump relay harness which will be installed soon to skip the modulator. Didnt know that some R34 GTR's have the battery in the trunk so I will be running a wire after the fuse to the back of the car and grounding the negative.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

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

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
