Hi,

Just replaced the old fuel pump with a walbro, but one of the hoses that goes from the pump to the chasis fuel rail split. its old and brittle, so time to replace them!

however i cant for the life of me find where the hoses connect to on the chassis rails. i can see the chassis rails come up behind the diff and up behind the fuel tank, but then it dissapears...

how do i replace these hoses?

Thanks

all good...just did it :O was very very easy. the hoses just come out right at the back of the tank near where the tank protector is. very accessible, and very easy to change. all working now.

(now to get that petrol off the back that sprayed on when the hose split on the motorway :) )

that'll serve me right for not looking harder

Just out of curiosity do you use Optimax? Given your fuel hoses had cracks I suspect this is the case as you would not be the first person!

Cheers

Man, we spend over $10,000 to get these cars, then another million keeping them on the road - every car has a gremlin or five, and I guess it proves how much we love our cars, or how stupid we are for hanging onto them!

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
