don't get me started on new fuel pumps. I put a Bosch unit in mine and it sucked up a piece of rubber which apparently came off the brand new hose I bought to connect it to the fuel filter sock thingo. Long story short the place I bought it from won't pay out as they say not pump fault but foreign object. I now have to buy second brand new pump. :rolleyes: Will be going to place where I bought the "fuel line" off to give them a piece of my mind and hopefully recover the hole in my wallet.

and pauls installing mine :Paranoid: !!

Yeah they put it on dyno last Thursday to do a power run and play with EBC ....... and paul goes to me "um i dont think you'll be needing that SAFC cos theres no fuel to control" Ive got a Bosch one going in too

Niz, good thing they identified that there was no fuel going in, you don't want to go through a rebuild due to the car running lean like i just did, particularly partially unemployed. I think mine's cost me nearly $5K now and my old boy and I have done most of the labour ourselves!

I'm sure you'll have more luck than i did with your fuel pump. Paul knows what he's doing doesn't he :confused:

Has Paul ever fitted a fuel pump before ...... No. But he's donig it at SST's so help should be on hand if he needs it :( I hope my car cooperates for him ...... my car is very uh female and can be rather uncooperative for Paul.

Yes i have rego to pay in the next couple of days and at the moment thats quite expensive enough!! Good that your car is nearly on the road tho :rolleyes:

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
