I was considering to buy a genuine Bosch 040 or 044 fuel pump, but my question is are these compatible with Stageas?

Is the 044 an external pump? Where would i mount it?

I would plan to do it myself, or would it be best to get someone to install it for me?

Thanks anyone,

Also, should i consider a fuel pressure regulator? OBX or Sard type of a thing..

What makes you assume it will fit?

I bought a 2nd hand catback exhaust for a R33 GTST...guess what...it didnt fit (regardless of what everyone is saying about them fitting)

mate its pretty obvious the stagea is alot longer than a r33 gts-t :P

and with the fuel pump issue, in mine i went the 044 external fuel pump and two goss little ones for the intank duties, i mounted the 044 with a bracket off the diff cradle...

few pics are below :)

I don't know anyone that has said an R33GTST cat back exhaust would fit, that would be crazy considering the extra length of the waggon. I have checked out the dump and engine pipe and they will fit, as will the cat of course. But from there back, no chance.

As for a fuel pump, any of the usual Skyline fuel pump upgrades will fit with exactly the same problems/advantages. The standard pump should be good for 200 4wkw, so I don't believe I will have to change it for my power target. But, just in case, I have an R33GTR pump standing by which will be OK for 265 4wkw at 12 volts (standard wiring) and 350 4wkw at 13.8 volts (using a relay and dedicated wiring from the battery).

Hope that is of some help

:) cheers ;)

looks a bit dangerous.. fuel lines near the exhaust.. and is that cable tie the only thing holding it there and stopping it from banging around???

the pump and lines are about 300mm from the exhuast and the pump is bolted onto the u bracket off the diff cradle, the zip tie is holding the fuel filter above it as i havent been able to find a mounting position yet (lack of room and time)

cheers

Just a question - are you using the cable ties to hold the goss pumps to the bracket inside the fuel tank?

Doesn't the fuel dissolv ethe plastic?

I've always been stumped on what to use to hold the fuel pump when doing a replacement. I was thinking of using a hose clamp.

yer i am using cable ties, and i been told they are fine to use, as the workshop i did mine through use them on all their car fuel pump upgrades :)

maybe they might breakdown in a few years but ill keep a regular check they are ok :(

I have head of quite a few zip ties doing the trick as well, that is the fuel resistant ones :)

In regards to the rear exhaust fitting I haven't heard anyone say it would, but there are many that will vouch the dump pipe will..

In regards to your fuel pump questions, if the stagea uses the same pump setup as a R33, we have some genuine Nippon Denso 260L per hour pumps that fit in with barely any changes at all!

In regards to the bosch pumps the 044 is an external pump and the 040 an internal pump..

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
