Cubes,

If what you say is correct i will need to look into this quickly.

Just one question though, as you mention i didnt know that the normal trigger for the pump could shut down if the car stalled or such. Good to know really.

ok i did this today so this may help ppl install a bit easier (note this is for a r32 gts-t, not sure if wires are the same as other models) on a 30amp horn relay (all that is needed for a single pum

I recently checked the voltage my fuel pumps were receiving. Voltages were consistently around 11.2v's. I zipped down to Jaycar and picked up.... 8GA OFC Red Power Cable x 6m 8GA OFC Black Power C

Hi Cubes, glad to see you finally did the wiring upgrade, it's a very worthwhile investment in time and not a lot of money. You are suffering from "excessive size pump syndrome", because the 044 flow

Hi Guys,

This has been a really interesting read! I was hoping that you guys could clear up a few grey areas that i still have tho.

I am going to be running a bosch 040 or 044 pump inside my tank on my 32 GTR soon as i am upgrading the turbos and what not. My power aim will be around 320awkw and im wondering if this mod is required (as i know the pumps run approx. 230l/hr and 330l/hr respectively at 13.8v)?

Where abouts is the factory voltage control module located in the car?? Is it possible to rewire the pump but still use the factory voltage control module, as to only supply the pump with a lower voltage at idle but still have the 13.8v at higher rpm?? If not, im guessing the Jaycar kit that Sydneykid was talking about will be needed.

Thanks in advance for clearing it up for me.

I'm not sure about the other PFC's but when I dropped the PFC in to my R32 it constantly supplied the pump with high voltage. No more low voltage on idle with the PFC, In mine and other R32 GTST's I've seen.

I believe it would be possible to rewire the pump to still use the factory voltage control module. From memory I remember seeing something in the manual about the resistor pack to drop the fuel pumps voltage is located in the engine bay.

If its needed in your case.... suck and see... Unless you want to do it just to be safe and possibly save you having to go back for another tune, but chances are with a decent 044 even at the lowever voltage it will be fine. But really.. I don't know as there's a few variables that man influence if its up to the task, fuel pressure, boost and injectors size. Run less fuel pressure and the fuel pump will flow more.

anyone know what kind of current is drawn from the std fuel pump, same with the bosche 044 pumps?

with both of these running from direct power via a switched relay (each) finding its drawing alot of current making the car take longer to start

as in if i prime the system and turn the pumps off, then the car starts easier, then i switch the pumps on.

this is ona 550CA 60amp hour battery

sorry about the late reply,

I would look at doing the oposite in your case and run larger cables to the starter motor. One thing that could be an issue is if your cables can not carry the current to run the starter motor, then the cable get hot during your start up, resistance of the cable goes up voltage goes down, then current goes up again! A very nasty circle.

Also a dircet cable from the negitive terminal to the engine block might help as well, if you dont have that already.

hmm its more ECU related than started motor ...

the dash lights go out when cranking then comeback on then the car starts

turning off the pumps just reduce the time the lights turn off for..

strange issue and i havent had time to play around with the currents that are being drawn when doing the above.

Strange,

does the starter motor sound like its struggling to turn the motor over. Do your self a favor if you have a multi meter connect it across the battery terminals and record what your minimum voltage was during the time your starter motor was turning over.

yeah will have a look, but no the starter turns the car over fine, just a momentary drop of power to the PFC

this is reduced further when jump starting the car..

can even get that bad if the battery is low that the car turns over but the lights never come on and it wont start ..

one day i'll find it

Have you had the motor out and rebuilt at any time?

May just be a bad earth.

motor hasn't been out, only ever head off..

have been looking into making my own earth kit for it all.... just a matter of free time which i dont have much of :D

only earth i know to be missing is the one the the turbo manifold.. which has been gone for years

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
