OMG! Speaking of that, I got an email today with Miriam pics in it... Ewww!

Theres enough experience in here with Bisch pumps to get by now... http://www.bosch.com.au/sat/motorsport/dow...s/fuelpumps.pdf

I dont think it will be that bad, there nearly the same size according to Bosch site.

Gunna see if I can get a new pickup from Nissan.

Yeah was using that pic as ref, I actually cut off that copper tube at the top.

Pred how much did you sell your stockie for, didnt you sell to a Silvia?

How does the Bosch pickup compare to the stockie, same length and all?

Yeah mine was fine, but the next day it was no go. Pulled it all out and realised the pickup had come off, probably due to using the wrong hosing which had warped after being in fuel for a night. Then was told it was wrong pump, then told it was ok. So the orginal is in and I need to install the Bosch again *big sigh*!

The pain of it all! It worked but then it didn't, hard lesson learnt

Cools thanks mate, did you see my other thread

Ditto! I'm a glutton for punishment.

I've yet to attand a shenanigans night, but I'm guessing that we don't stand 2 metres from vehicle when its doing continuous 360's... Or do you guys?

Looked like sheer stupidity to me! One slip of the pedal and those drivers would have put 10 people in hospital. Best part was when they caught people with a radar leaving just down the road!

I was running on an 1/8 this morning, so they must have put some form of hose pickup on the end.

No luck unfortunately, I've jammed my skinny little arms all the way down as far as I can, the workshop couldn't get it either. They said I can get Bosch specific pickup that will fit on their pump correctly anyway

Its all good! Apparently earlier pump models e.g. where not supposed to be used in tank at all. But newer revision models are fine for in tank applications. The workshop was going off old info from previous models apparently? Or maybe there just covering there ass? Anyhooo I'm sticking with the 910. But my pickup is lost in tank blackhole

Hmm, well I'm confused? I have an '0 580 254 910'. He said I need an '019', for in tank applications, and this was apparently confirmed by someone at Bosch too. :confused: Edit: According to http://www.bosch.com.au/sat/motorsport/dow...s/fuelpumps.pdf there is no 019.

Had about 1/3 a tank and yep I had some hose on the end (was using your pic's as guide) and that was still attached when I pulled everything out. But come to think of it, it was a little out of shape, so maybe I bought the wrong hose... Silly me! I didnt want do it up to tight as the end of the pickup was plastic and didnt want to break it with hose the clamp. Dunno whether to try again with the Bosch (and your help) or get a GTR pump?

Mmm thought as much. Thanks for the feedback!

I installed a Bosch 910 pump over the weekend, car was running fine after a test drive. However on the way to work this morning the car stalled at the first intersection, and wouldnt start again. After getting it home I pulled everything out to see what the problem was. I found the pickup had fallen off and was somewhere in the tank. I couldnt feel the bugger anywhere so decided to give up and let a pro do it. So I get a call from the workshop today and they tell me that I shouldn't have used it internally, and that it was very dangerous? There are allot of people using these intank, is it safe to use?

Ditto, to the left of the bonnet release latch (33).

Sheesh, I just finished installing a Bosch 910, not fun... Fuel Pumps = Pr**ks Dont want to be doing that in a hurry again soon. Much louder than the stockie.

I noticed you replied to that thread, congrats & good luck!

Should be able to pick up a cheapie on ebay mate... http://motors.listings.ebay.com.au/Accesso...ocustoverrideZ1

Step 1. Undo the clamps on either side of this U-Shaped hose, then remove the hose. Step 2. Undo these 2 screws, it will allow you lift up the intake pipe giving you more room. Step 3. Loosen the 2 adjustable clamps on the hose connecting to the plenum, also the other small one seen in the picture. Step 4. Disconnect the loom plug (may vary in appearance). Then just move 2 disconnected looms off to the side. You don't have to remove the 2 circled screws. Step 5. There are 8 allen screws to undo all the way along the plastic cover as circled below. Once you have removed them all you can then slide out the plastic cover. Step 6. Once you have removed the plastic cover you'll see the lead pictured below, with 6 looms connecting to the top of each coilpack, undo the looms that connect to the top of each coilpack. Then remove the small screws that hold the length of cable in place and remove it. (Coil Pack Lead) Step 7. Now, at this stage you will see the top of each coil pack, I pulled out the whole cradle and coil pack as described next but you dont have to that. You can just remove the screws that hold each coil pack in. This how to pull it all out. Unscrew the gold/bronze bolts that hold the coil pack cradles in place. There is about 6 or 7 of them. Once they are removed you can pullout the coilpacks and cradle to see the spark plugs underneath. (Top of Coil Packs) (Coil Packs and Cradle) Step 8. Now that you can see inside, it is recommended that you spray some compressed air inside to clear/dislodge any crap that may fall into the combustion camber once you have taken out the spark plugs. Now remove the spark plugs and put in the new ones! Step 9. Put it all back together.
