Im currently trying to source a bosch044 intank pump for the gtr

Im not overally mechanically minded but my mate is so he said he would be willing to have a go at it for me (hes more of a v8 then rice boy though so doesnt know skylines too well :))

I searched the forums trying to find if anyones written up an article on this but without luck.

Would anyone be willing to write up a quick step by step/guideline to removing the fuel tank and actually replacing the pump with possibly some tips to mounting and running the hoses etc I would grately appreciate it :)

I'd be shooting for a HKS or Nismo pump. You can get them cheap enough from the right places, and they are a bolt in replacement. I believe the HKS ones even come with the cradle attached.

Also, removing the fuel tank is quite un-needed. All you need to do is remove the boot carpet and get into it that way, through the inspection plate.

I also have something to watch out for, Im not sure if its so much an issue in gtrs.

If the pump doesnt have sufficient clearance from the tank walls all around it do not put it in tank, as the pump vibrates it rubs the plastic off the tank and chews it. I lost 2 x 040s to this before i just gave up and put an 044 in with surgetank externally.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
