Howdy All,

Just a bit of info for all fellow Stagea type people. And that is that the fuel pumps on the RS4's aren't the same setup as the ones on the R33's.

I went to change mine today, undid the big black plastic locating ring, pulled the cap up and there was only the fuel gauge sender hanging off of it !!! The pump is mounted to the right/bottom side of the fuel tank. Not like the R33's were the pump is mounted to the big cap thingy :)

Soooo, I could be wrong here, but I would say that we'd have to go external if we want to upgrade the fuel pumps, as getting to the factory one down the bottom of the fuel tank is gunna be close to impossible :(

P.S. - Anybody want to buy a Walbro internal for $150 + postage :kick:

Interesting.... And the reason I say that is in the Nismo catalogue the 260RS pump is listed as the same as the BNR32 (not BNCR33). Is the tank different, or????

I was considering the R32 pump in my car as a first choice, but it seems that matters may be slightly complicated.

You have to be able to get to the pump to service it. There must be a way. As for the Stagea tank being the same as the R32 tank, my Stagea tank is molded plastic and the R32 tank is fabricated steel.:cheers:

Ahh, very good.

Was it difficult getting the factory mount/bracket out ? When I had the big cap off, it looked pretty damn hard to get to the mount/pump to get it out.

I was going to take a photo of it but I was a bit worried about using the flash around the petrol.. lol

    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
