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..

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
