Hey guys, calling on the gurus out there who have done this before.

Ive got a Bosch intank pump that i want to put into an R32 GTST, but in order to maximise current and performance, i would like to run seperate wiring to the stock pump all the way to power and ECU.

I am told that you need a seperate relay setup and heavy gauge fused wiring. I was thinking of keeping the stock wiring as is and then running the aftermarket pump just incase the pump gets sold or changed back to stock.

Is there a FAQ or Tutorial about doing this? What are your experiences and how did you overcome spefic problems.

Im not an autoelec by trade, but i have done a few custom wiring installs before, just need a circuit diagram witha general direction to where i should be heading thats all :(

My impression is that i need to get the fuel pump on signal from the ECU, switch a relay that powers the fuel pump and presto your pump is on. Fuel pump signal goes off, pump turns off. Everything is grounded nice and tidy back to the battery for optimum performance.

Does the R32 have a current droping resistor prohibiting the amount of voltage that goes to the pump during light loads, like on other nissans?

Thanks guys

you pretty much got it on the ball, and if you do decide to put the std back in it doesn't hurt to have upgrade wiring there.

as for the dropping resistor, dunno if the R32 has them, but they are a pain in the arse anyway and you can do away with it, dunno how tho.

I haven't seen differential voltage on R32's. It doesn't matter anyway, since it is only switching voltage. Simply select a suitable relay for the posible range of voltages. I use a solid state relay, not mechanical as it is located close to fuel. No sparks for me.

I run both pumps off the same relay. So it is simply a matter of pulling up the standard wiring harness, plugging the switch wiring into the relay, and then using the harness (I made up) to connect to the pumps. To put it back to standard I just unplug the relay remove the external pump and plug the standard wiring back into the standard pump in the tank.

Hope that makes sense:cheers:

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
