Hello,

It doesn't have to be fuel to do this test, it can be water... Just make sure you blow dry the pump and its internal's once you are finished.

I doubt you would get a chance to do 1minute with a blue-top walbro in a 10L bucket :P

PUMP^KING^007

Hey , stop , you are the slime ball that's caused all this , you don't even have the guts to tell us , comming in like your an innocent by stander why don't you F%^k OFF to the rock you came out from under.

No wonder his phone number looks familiar...I almost got burnt by Alex elsewhere.

FYI: he's been flogging those pumps on Fast Forums ages ago under the name "milk" but no one complained about it. He also used to sell fake Diesel jeans and some hippy caps too.

Everything you have displayed in your pic came in the box, although it does not have any labelling of part no. or anything that says Walbro or any instructions

Has anyone taken one of these pumps to a pro that knows about these pumps very well and can identify if it is a fake or the real deal???

Ok, I've been asked for pics of what the Walbro pumps are ment to be...

they are a lot smaller than a stock fuel pump, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better!!

the body of the pump measures approx 10cm x 4cm (not including plug & fuel feed lines)

It should have stamped on the body:

This is for Walbro GSS-341 255L/hr High Pressure fuel pump.

It has a black top. there are other model walbro's which have different model numbers!

Here are pics of what you should get when you order one. (I took these this afternoon).

Seriously how can you tell?

I have heaps of dealings on this forum. I think this is taken too lightly.

You cant. Its your duty to take your own care.

Its not taken too lightly at all. SAU does the best it can. Its a simple case of buyer beware. Not going into it anymore but its been covered a lot in the ideas/feedback section.

Im happy if you wanna PM me to go over further

Hey all,

I purchased a NISMO clutch off cefiro_pwa only a few months ago..I was slightly sceptical at purchasing at first. I asked how he would like the money to be transfered and he wasn't all that keen on doing a direct transfer so I got a mate in melbourne to arrange it once I paid him (my mate). Cefiro_PWA drove to the other side of melbourne to deliver the clutch which was then sent on to me in sydney. Clutch was pretty close to the amount worn as he said...

Maybe I got lucky after all u guys have been ripped off!!

The reason he wanted the cash rather than transfer is so all personal detailes would be kept to a minimum, also sound s like he is running a business illegaly and not paying GST and paying his taxes.

I am happy for you ,in that you did not get ripped off.

Ask your mate if he has any other detailes on this guy.

I called him and of course he denies every thing. He even said he would send proof that the pumps are genuine , and of course NOTHING-------Wa%^&r!

lol, he used to buy "genuine" walbro pumps of the same guy i get them from, but he found a cheaper price. It's funny to hear that the cheaper price is because they aren't genuine...

there are a few versions of walbro's. cefiro_pwa may have supplied you with one of the lower-quality ones

model numbers:

190L/hR GSS250/278

190L/hr High Pressure F20000141

255L/hr GSS315/7

255L/hr High Pressure GSS341/2

The ones I am selling, are Walbro GSS-341 255L/HR High Pressure which are a direct replacement for Nissan Skylines and Silvias/180sx's

I just got a reply from a seller in the US for these pumps. (different supplier from the one I use)

I asked him if all the Walbro's he sells have the model number stamped on them. And he said

"Tim,

These are original Walbro fuel pumps with the stamping and pat number on each pump. I know about the guy who sells those counterfit Fuel Pumps these are completely original Walbro straight from the US factory"

It's probably a case that the counterfit pumps are made in the same factory! but I still think people should be getting exactly what they paid for. Though anyway, I guess this confirms that there are counterfit pumps floating around.

It's also possible to get the pump without the pipes and hose clamps. The pump can be purchased from Walbro cheaper by itself. The "install kit" adds like $3US for a clamp and $5 US for a hose! so some sellers won't bother with these, given that they can be purchased locally for much less.

OK guys

this is all starting to make a little more sence.

So in effect these pumps( counterfeit) are Walbro pumps so they will be OK if one tests them for flow , right? For this is the only way to check for correct size pump for the given application because of lack of ID.

Thanx

Have a look at this.. .trent has just done some testing on the copies... most performing at 1/3 of the genuine product....

Fellas,

i have found the pump in the states, it is a Walbro copy or similar.

Looks like we may not have done our hard earnt cash!

I am sure if "slime ball " had told all buyers that they were a copy but please read the data on them that this all would have been a lot easier. Advertising a non genuine Walbro as a Walbro is still False adversing and fraudulant.

Mr Cefiro_PWA you should be ashamed of your self as this is a non ethical approach on doing business and i hope you fail in all your business ventures as i do not believe that you will learn f , one way or another. Keep running pal!

Link below fellas.

Google -- TREperformance.com then search fuel pump on the web page, screen comes up- scroll down to the bottom, pumps 255 ltr hour - similar to Walbro

AND that's the sucker we all have ! YES?

A s%^t i have just looked at the thread above , so we have been done !

Thats the end of me . At least we all learnt from this , it's a shame as i will probably not trust any one as easily on this forum in the futuer - beware lads there are traitors amongst us! . Damn it!

Bye, and thanks for all you interest in this matter.

If your slithering about, see ya Wan#$r

what is needed on SAU is a similar sticky as NS.com.

a traders verification/details section.

all business, accounts, phone, address details, ABN/ACN to be posted by each trader to ensure

validity and legitimacy of their business.

surely with all of these details, anybody can be tracked down through the Dept of Fair Trading if shit hits the fan.

He was selling a large amount of parts and advertising that he had a number of fuel pumps that he "bought for his mates"

buyers do need to use a great deal more caution though, the way he carried on and the parts being sold were all very suspect.

I spent hours scouring archives checking his history on both forums and its immediately obvious just how full of shit the guy really is.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
