I had a External Bosh 910 Fuel pump fitted a while ago and discovered recently that it was hanging down due to a dodgy rubber mount that was fitted.

What broke was: It had a rubber pad inbetween two bolts that were kind of joined i.e -----||||------

||| is the rubber and ---- is the bolt if you get my drift.

Anyway this came unstuck.

So i decided to rubber mount the whole lot properly.

What I used was a couple of bolts with washers and a lock nut with some lock thread to prevent it coming loose.

For the rubber mounting I used a Wiringloom rubber grommet.

I then drilled out the hole a little more and fitted the rubber grommet in the hole. Bolt through the hole with a washer some rubber grease another washer then bolt through the mount on the body then nut then another nut.

here's a few pics so if you do it your self you can get a rough idea.

Unfortunately i thought about pics after, ishould have taken them before I fitted it. oh well.. :D

I have got the fuel pump secured by two places hence rubber mounted in two points. One side is not visible due to the plugs on the fuel pump.

It is alot quieter now than what it was.

Before only one side was rubber mounted the other was metal on metal.

I get no vibrations through the cabin now.

I have to turn off the radio open the car door and put my ear down towards the fuel pump to try and hear it.

It is quieter than a VS 5ltr standard fuel pump.

With the rubber sleeve over most of the fuel pump heat buildup ran through my head so when I get the car over the pit i'm going to pull it out again and possibly cut a few strips of the rubber and then mount it that way so that there is air around the pump to help keep it just that little bit cooler.

Any 1? is it worth doing this or it doesn't matter?!?!?!

Apparently 250rwkw.

An RB20 with more than 250rwkw isn't really that nice to drive.. :P

way to laggy.

I think all up fitted it cost me $300. I've got the receipt some where. No more than $300 I think it may have even been $280 or something.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
