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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
