wondering how much the R33 stock fuel pump can push, ive herd guys just upgrading em after 200 rwkw but then guys that are making 250 kw with stock pumps.

whats the story,all my previous cars have had aftermarket fuel pumps.

yeah its not an exact "this is max limit" but its not worth the risk if its going to lean out or risking it given the price to upgrade is cheap too. i also had starting problems with my stock pump but the new one has fixed that

Hmmm well i've got a 620hp GT35/40R going on soon, i will have to upgrade the injectors and the fuel pump as well. Seems the more money ya spend on ya car, the more money you have to spend to keep it working right......hehe

And if you want use the full power of that turbo you will have to replace alot more things that fuel pump and injectors :uh-huh:

No point 'upgrading' to a GTR fuel pump which is generally just as old. Might as well spend the same or a little extra and get a brand new bosch.

In my old GTS-t I had a brand new Bosch 040 supplied/fitted for $350 and that was 18mths ago.

INASNT: trust me, i've got a lot of parts just sitting here waiting to go on ;)

Benm: Yeah have been looking at the 040 and the 044. Seeing as the more i take this car past standard the more it might just be a track car. So no real point in doing an in tank pump.

040 are designed to be intank.

I thought the only differance btw 044 and 040 was 044=external and 040=internal.

Just some advise, something learnt by experience. Buy the 040, build a surge tank a little bigger, and mount the 040 inside the surge tank. This will help reduce the noise from the pump (and trust me a 044/040 is bloody noisy), you can then put as much sound damping material, as you prefer, all over the surge tank to reduce the noise even more. Fuel will also act as a coolant for the pump. With a 044 (external) you are unable to dampen the noise as you run a risk of overheating the pump (so i have been told).

I unfortunately just have to live with it, but i honesty am not bothered by the noise, my mates on the other hand can't get over it, and keep biatching.

Gee ur making me think hard now (new owner has had it for about 3mths).

R33 GTS-t, 198rwkw, 3" full nismo exhaust (pretty quiet compared to most GTS-t's), std turbo, std ecu, fmic, k&n, ex cam gear.

I will get the Fuel pump when I get the PFC tuned.

As far as injectors go, ive spoken to many a performance shop, and said the RB25s injectors seem to be at there max at about 250-260 rwkw.

yer, i was going to ask what do standard injectors max out at?

ive got a powerfc coming and im going to order a 040 fuel pump as well when driftking gets more in

wondering if stock injectors will be ok for stock turbo ?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
