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:

    • No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.
    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.
