Thanks Cubes, my car had been having a reall bastard of a problem since the rebuild and we couldn't sort it out - tried all the spark problem reasons (plugs, coilpacks, ignitors, earths, ecu etc etc), turned out to be a problem in the fuel pump wiring.

Working fine now with the setup in this thread :sick: we have a lovely 14.2 - 13.8v at the pump now :laugh:

Just a standard pump for me....I assume the problem is in the old wiring, computer or relay somewhere.....but the rewire was simpler than workign through it, with the bonus of a higher voltage at the pump as well :D

Hey guys I have an R34 and currently its got an amp installed with 0 guage wiring. Along that 0 guage I have one of those Stinger 3-Way splitting block thingies (can't remember the actual name), can I just run an 8 guage from that split to the relay/fuel pump without putting a fuse on the new 8-gauge line? Would the fuse on the 0 guage to the amp be sufficient?

And this all done to the wiring loom that comes out of the metal lid that sits on top of where the fuel pump is located right?

Doubtful, if your running 0 gauge to your amp it's probably got a fairly hefty fuse on it. Internal fuel pump only needs a 15 and an external one maybe 30. I went to jaycar and bought relays with a blade fuse built in, makes it much more easier and works out cheaper than buying a relay and a fuse holder :thumbsup:

I did mine right to just before the plug, ie. took the lid and the plug of and cut it just before the plug, thinking about it it does seem like a bit of a waste to use 8gauge to the internal pump, the wire from the plug to the pump is only gonna be the pissy standard wire neway....still looks good though I suppose :)

The R32's do have variable speed pump control.

As soon as you touch the accelerator the pump receives the full voltage.

However, the AP Engineering PFC bypasses the variable speed control. The PFC has the pump running at full speed all the time.

I had tested the fuel pump voltage at idle, stationary with rev's and under load on boost. Voltage hardly varied, 11.2v being the peak.

I did the same test on my 32 gtr and got 11.2 peak on the positive BUT its the negative side that is varied above earth to control the pump voltage so to get a true reading you must test across the pump terminals and not from the positive terminal to earth.

with the gtr modulator the minimum negative voltage is 2 volts above earth. So if you put adirect feed the pump positive the highest pump voltage will be 13.8 - 2 so 11.6 volts at the terminals.

well, I'll assume instantly that the Nismo and Tomei pumps will take 6 months to get and are about 5 times the price.

Are the Bosch pumps really that noisey?

Even the intank 040's ?

hey fella

Grab a 044 and head down to pirtek.they will supply you with all the fittings and non return valve to mount the 044 intank.

grab a filter sock from a v8 falcon from your local parts supplier and your away..

simple common sense mod but with more flow then the 040 and wisper quiet.

i have pics if your interested.

Darren

does grounding the neg wire on the fuel pump do the same as this mod ?

or is the main idea that your changing to better quality wire ??

btw i got a 040... shes quiet as can be.. you wouldnt know its there. Alltho when ur down to like 1/4 tank you can hear it chugging away sometimes.

I think I follow what you are saying...

I did my testing across the pump terminals. By earthing the multimeter to chassis it picked up 0.5v.

Also.. the GTR and GTST's use a different modulation setup, not sure on the specifics but the GTR ecu has 2 outputs high/low where as the GTST has one.

Can I just use the item here to do this guys? Will save me having to buy a fuse holder and fuse. 30amp should be enough for a single pump right?

Also, am I suppose to be dong this UNDER the lid, or ontop of the lid? My car is an R34 GTT and when I had a look again today theres a metal lid with a plug there that has about 4-6 wires. How am I suppose to run the 8-guage power and earth through the lid if its solidly sealed?

Thanks,

Andy

I'm not familiar with the 34 GTT lid, on the 32 there is a rubber grommet that 5 wires run though, I just ran the additional wire through the grommet. You could just tap into the standard wiring if you need to but its not ideal

Looking at this diagram, after the fuel pump relay there is something labelled an 'air regulator'.. what is it?

Also the wiring colours that cerbera quoted in the first page are totally diferent to what I seem to have. I went through the hassle of pulling the pump to double check as what I was measuring didn't correlate at all. My pump is White/purple for +, Blue/red -, and yellow and yellow/blue for the gauge set. Anyone have similar?

Here is a wiring diagram for the RB20DET. It clearly shows the fuel pump setup.

Not really sure; from what I can see its pretty straight forward whats going on.

When the FPCM receives the signal from the ECU the the voltage earths directly.

When the FPCM doesn't receive the signal from the ecu the earth passes through the dropping resistor.

The GTR is essentially identical apart from the FPCM containing the dropping resistor and receiving 2 signals from the ecu to determine if the fuel pump is high or low.

In the R33 on the rear shelf is a fuel pump box that regulates the current for the fuel pump no one seems to mention that? Have people just removed this ?

On a 95, R33 should i need to re-wire the whole pump or just replace the battery earth and possibly fit an engine bay earthing kit?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
