Helll all,

 

I am looking to put a better fuel pump in car and well nothing seems to be clear about it. I've asked a few suppliera and they stated the pump has a regulator attached so they do not make one. I have seen a few people use a basic walboro or aem pump without issue but I can not find anything specific. The gtst has the standard drop assembly while the GTR has the lower basket the pump sits in... 

I've searched here and can't find specific posts for it.. ant and all help is appreciated

Don't know about gtst but yes gtr has a cradle.

Best to do it with the fuel very empty. Trust me!

Takes a bit of stuffing around to pull the cradle out, patience is required.

After it is out, install new pump same way as old pump. Best to use factory sock imo.

There's plenty of pumps out there however walbro has a new 525/h pump.

More importantly than the pump install is doing a rewire. Simple mod. Search that too lol

 

I have already pulled it out thinking it was bad, and I will be doing a direct relayed power to the new one but I can't actually find a replacement pump that is labeled for thr GTR. I can find expensive nismo or hks pumps but beyond that it's something to do with the pressure regulator on the pump.

Given that they look like EVERY OTHER FUEL PUMP......

Yep, get this one:

Don’t know about the newer model so cannot recommend it but others seem to think it’s very good.

Buy a brand new pump not a used one out of a GTR. Many pumps will do but the Walbros will do the job. If you want to just do it once put the bigger one in so you don't have to change it to get to your new power target in the future.

Don't worry about it. Even piss off that relief valve.

Walbro 525.

You seen how much power they draw? They WILL melt the stock wiring into the tank. And for no benefit for what the suse seems to want/need.

Thanks for all the input. I have planned to run a separate power feed off a relay to run whatever pump would work. I've always done that before to avoid melting or burning up stock wiring.

I'm just so confused as to what the pressure relief valve is designed to do. Maybe keep the pressure from being higher than needed?

 

 

It's the stock wiring AT THE PUMP that is the most concern here.  Not the wiring that trails off into the car.  Put a massive pump into the tank and feed it with the original dental floss wiring through the pump hat?  Recipe for voltage drop and wire meltage.  Put a pump in there that is bigger than stock (and, of course, big enough to do the job) but not too big for the wiring?  Yup, recipe for happiness.

If you go massive, you need to do more work.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
