Should have a petrol resistant foam rubber sleeve and hose clamp/s to mount it. I've not seen ANY shop including autosparkies that wire things up neat. Kindergarten kids could usually do better!!

They usually use the biggest soldering iron they can find, two rolls of dodgey insulation tape per job, have five twist joins in a 500mm length of wire, and crimp all connectors with a hammer or sidecutters.

LOL f*kn hacks!

What they figure is... if you don't see it.. it wont hurt you...

WRONG MUDAf*kRS!!!

They should take a crash course in how to unf**kthemselves.

OK OK, XXX did it. I spose its not bad to say it because i am sharing information that could be useful, as someone said if they cant see it it wont hurt them (the customer) or something along those lines. thats why i was so eager to get back in the tank and see what they really done.

First and last time to go there, wasnt happy with the service from the start.... i made an appointment at 10am and didnt leave until about 2.45.... but i spose workshops can be like that

i payed $120 for the install only... the pump was supplied by myself.

mods if u think this thread is not within guidelines than feel free to edit.

on a good note i got my FMIC installed today, happy with that and the guy who installed it

**edited by mods - please don't mention names**

Probably best course of action if it hasnt been too long would be to sit down and consult with them, and maybe work out some appropriate resolution. but then again its upto how you would proceed in this circumstance. There are many and many dodgey work places, and very few that actually know what the hell they are doing with our cars and even less that will take the time, effort and care with out cars on anything mechanical. Hence why so many people do things themselves. Well one of the many things why anyway.

Noo good even still atleast you got to it sooner than later

it has been over a month since i done it, for the matter of 120 dollars i cant be bothered going back especially since they cant see it while it was installed. they will most porbably make excuses etc etc and highly doubt i will get my money back and i dont think there is anything else they can do for me.. i will just not go back there again

how much diff is the GTR pump over the stock? i would think the GTR would be easier to install than a walbro (aftermarket), I would think the GTR would use the stock mounting brackets etc. pm me the reply with the name of the workshop too. please thanks :)

walbro comes in a kit form and is so easy to install, it has a new hose with clamps, rubber mount down the bottom and pickup filter thing. also has a wiring harness with it. The hardest part is cutting the + and - and crimping/soldering them to the new harness LOL.

GTR pump uses everything the same so u dont need new hoses etc but it is slightly different on the bottom and wont sit in the cradle with the GTST rubber mount so this is where it gets ugly. If u a suitable piece of rubber and half a brain u could make a similar mount but yeah it help to have everything there when ur tank is opened up and u have no car to get bits and pieces lol

    • shannons wasnt far off what i was paying tbh. so i will check out Lumley and i dont track the car at all. but yer this is definitley a 2020 Nissan Skyline 400R and yer im sure i will have trouble telling my insurance i have a Q50 RS simply because its not the car i have even though its the same build. and yes i did buy it from a dealership.
    • Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.
    • Thanks mate, yeah I've heard that alot and i am definitely regretting using the 25 Loom now, i have gone through and traced all the plugs from the 20loom and re wired them into the 25 loom, I have currently got Crank, Fuel and accessory's working, just need to finalise the loom and run the wire for the Ignition (Spark) and it should be running, will update if i have any luck.
    • Cheers lad, when I head over there I'll give it a shot.
    • Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.
