Even though it's meant to be easy, I'm stupid when it comes to mechanics. Anyway on my stock stock stock R33 GTS seems the fuel pump is dead (won't even start unless I punch the fuel tank a few times). I want to put a cheap Walboro GSS341 in cos I'm gonna sell the car in 6 weeks. I'll most prob buy the pump off ebay $170odd.

Anyway, who would you recommend to install this pump? I checked out hte installation instructions for a Bosch on a silvia and you need a hacksaw, etc. Reckon if I took that and the pump to the local servo, they'd say I bought the wrong one or something.

Any guys you recommend? Bettter yet someone that comes out (so I don't have to tow the car there).

Alternatively, anyone here wanna do it for some pocket money?! :)

Its all fun in games til you have to stick your hands up to your armpit in fuel ..... just ask GTSTvspec .... after he did mine he vowed never again - i think the fuel burnt the hair off his arms for a while there haha

Best contact the experts ........ "to the sponsors thread batman" :)

It isn't too hard to do. I watched Scott (C Yar) do mine, which reminds me, I think I owe him beer for that.. anyhow, it took us (him) about an hour or hour and a half to do it.

You'd get more satisfaction doing it yourself, or at least getting a friend to help, than paying someone else to do it :)

The Warlbro I put in required absolutely no modifications what so ever or bending of any brackets.

I have an original GTS4 Pump thats OK I replaced with a Bosch 040.

You could have that for less - not sure how much - make an offer?

Its not that hard to swap over but I am stuffed if I know how my fuel gauge works so well after trying to get it out and back in without bending the sensor float! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
