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! :)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
