Hi everyone,

My 2007 V36 needs a new fuel pump and fuel filter.  My mechanic tells me he can't source this particular item, and would normally direct me to go straight to a Nissan dealer, but says their price for a genuine part is ridiculous.

He recommended I try a fuel injector cleaner just to buy me some extra time while I look for an aftermarket one or one from eBay.

What would be a good aftermarket one to buy (and from where)?

Note - I am selling the car soon.

Thanks!

here's your OEM number 17040-JL60A

Also if youre going to sell it, probably easiest to call up a wrecker (skyline spares, nissan wrecking etc. you find them on gumtree)

and purchase a fuel pump from one of their v36's. Cheap and easy fix.

as much as people here may complain about using a 2nd hand one... I've done it twice and my daily is running on a 2nd hand fuel pump for years now with no dramas. cheap and easy man.

My parts book quotes part number as 17040-JK01A and the price is truly ridiculous at $750, must be the platinum plated one.

You're not wrong, i have mine for an 08 infiniti not a JDM model. same pump either way but its easier to buy one with a USDM model # rather than the jap one from experience haha.

Why not take it out, look at it and work out which Bosch or Walbro is the most suitable and just go with that?

Unfortunately I'm not mechanically minded nor have the skills.  

My mechanic said if I can buy one somewhere and bring it in he will fit it.  He can't source one.

With this part number (thanks!!) I found plenty on US eBay, but would be great to get one locally.  Can anyone recommend a Victorian wrecker?  I searched Gumtree with no luck.

Maybe I should just try another mechanic?

Find a new mechanic, I would dare say using a Walbro 255 will fit up easily.

Not that easily, given what mycarhaspossessedme went through for his fuel pump upgrade in his turbo project.

Definitely doable though and most definitely the way I would go too. That being said, I can understand the Haxor's heart not being in it given he's selling the car off soon but I'd still do it to avoid the headache of an unhappy buyer.

Thanks guys.

Update - I put some injector cleaner in it and drove away from the mechanic.  Surprisingly, the car ran perfectly.  I don't think it was the injector cleaner either as it didn't have time to mix properly. 

I think the fuel filter/pump is nearing replacement and believe I had the issue just because I let the car sit for a month without driving it.

Thanks for the link to the Walbro unit.  I'll either go that or a second hand genuine one from a local wrecker or US eBay now that I bought myself some time for it to arrive.  All those options seem to be around $200 AUD delivered.  New mechanic also of course!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
