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! :)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
