the best option if you are chasing just a lil more power with a good tune would b a walbro pump in tank direct replacment just make sure it aint a ebay on i got one of those a long tome ago lasted a 2 power runs

A lot of people say the walbro are shite etc etc but I've been using mine for months now. Made sure I got a genuine one and it was installed correctly. Real test is coming though with a PFC (finally thanks to Slide) on the way and aiming at 265rwkw.

Your fuel will not 'run out early' with a bigger pump as the pump does not control the fuel delivery but merely circulates it. As already mentioned you can run into the problem of heating up the fuel in the tank if too much fuel is being recirculated back to the fuel tank (like being stuck in traffic with a 044 or two). You could get slightly less economy if your engine was running lean due to a dying pump before it was replaced.

yer i connected it to the steel bracket but you have to be careful i got a hose the same size as the inlet glued it and zipped ties it to the small inlet the attached the filter to the bottom of the hose i only extended it about 7-10 cm hard to tell i was a while ago and im sure its at the tip now lol

I've heard that with the 040, because it doesn't have a pick up on it that you mount the pump as low as possible in the tank. But even so it won't be able to pick up as low as the stock pump and thus you'll come across running short of fuel before the tank is empty.

Has anyone here made an extension or pick up for the 040?

      Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't really know general street pads too well, but there is no reason you can't get a low dust, long wearing, no squeal pad that works for those calipers at a reasonable price....they would just be a low end to medium price daily style pad.  If new pads don't have much bite or they loose it over time, it is probably just the pad glazing up which you can fix by giving them a good thrashing every now and then (or get the mechanic to deglaze them at next service) Track or semi track pads are where you have to put up with excessive dust (and potentially squealing as a side effect of that) in return for good bite and performance when very hot. Street pads have nothing like that sort of punishment, even long downhills with the brakes on are easier than a track session

      lol yeah I'll check that, reminds me of the LDV thread!  I don't think that is the problem here, the starter doesn't even solenoid click. I did do a super quick test by removing the starter motor's power cable from the engine bay fuse box and the battery voltage was still 10v, so something super fishy is going on. BTW here is a R33 fuse box table I threw together from a few sources....use at own risk! R33 Fuse Box and Sources.xlsx

      Johnny's approach, throw all the Nissan electronics into the trash. Best thing I've done to my shit box, go DBW.

      Sounds like the JAX guys must have installed some really awful pads, are they BenShit/BenDicks pads by any chance?
