Has anyone done the re-wire on a Ceffy?

I've followed the first post and tried a few other variations with no luck... All I can do is get the fuel pump to run constantly off the battery not accessory/ignition (ie pump running whilst the car is off)???

I didnt go quite to the extreme as the OP.

Mine just stopped working one day. No idea why. Pump relay and pump were both getting voltage, but nothing was working.

All i did was disconnect the stock 12v feed to te relay, then take the 12v feed from the 4ws Motor and connected that up instead seeing as the 4ws isnt used. . Tadaaa. Perfect running now. Uses the stock relay and earths. One wire to change.

hey guys, im doing this mod atm, and ive been wondering wether this would work or not.

im running a dual stage boost controller off a switch in my dash. im wondering if i run the battery 12v feed to my relay, and then run a positive feed from my dual stage switch to make the relay switch on and off, and then tap the battery 12v feed from the relay into the std pump positive feed would this cause any issues?

doing it that way, i can still run the reduced voltage when im just cruising around the streets on low boost, and if i want to give it a boot full and switch over to high boost(low boost is only 10 psi so the pump will suffice without the extra volts) it will pump the extra voltage from the direct feed into my fuel pump to get the max out of it. this in theory should work, but what im worried about is the extra voltage running back up the line on the stock wiring to the stock relay and causing a problem. it would have been good to beable to shut off the stock pump wiring altogether, but the issue there is when the lines switch there will be a momontary lapse in power to the pump.

is it worth a try or should i just run it at max all the time?

i guess u could try that if u really wanted to but whatever fuel the engine does not consume gets fed back into the tank anyways... id rather have more fuel then not enough when i "need" it...

Did this mod yesturday, Have some photos and a diagram if anyones confused to show how I did mine, seems to have improved the car a bit

R33FuelPumpRe-wire.jpg

Relay mounted:

Wires spliced into pump wiring:

So you don't need to take the pump back out and replace that wiring also? I really don't want to do that if i don't need to

It would be better to re-do all the wiring, but I didnt want to pull the pump out and play around with the plug in the fuel tank cap etc so I just did it like this

The pump sounds louder so must be getting some extra voltage, no problems so far

Cheers mate will do your way and if i have issues rewire as necessary. Not pushing the pump that hard (similar power to what you have

hi newbie here from UK

r32 gtr owner.

could someone tell me what do you do with the old fuel pump plug??

i realise i can either cut for 12v before the plug, or fit a male spade fitting inside the plug on the 12v side to trigger the relay.

what do you do with the plugs negative feed?? simply cover it up with tape?? or does this still need to go to ground also?? (so in total, 3 wires to ground, plug/relay/pump)

thanks

ps, anyone confirm the wire colours for the + and - on the plug on a r32 gtr

Did you use the negative (gray) from the wiring loom as well or just the 12v blue?

Cheers

Also my battery in the boot on the drivers side so all my new fuel pump cables are short in length, I'm running a walbro e85 400lph pump

What would be the best size cable to support this pump? 8gauge would be hugely overkill for such short distances?

i used 8g as i had few meters of spare cable, also make sure +ve and -ve are the same gauge, my one just plugs into the existing pin, wires inside the tank hasn't been touched

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
