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!

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!

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
