I just did the fuel pump on my series 1 r33. I did not see a rubber ring which i expected to find somewhere. I assum it sits between the black screw off ring and the white Plug underneath it which has the fuel lines and connectors on it?

Should there have been a rubber ring here.

The only rubber was the seal that sat around the inside of the hole. I just tightened the black screw on\off ring down and the fuel system seems to pressurise fine..

Another pump i've heard is really good is the Nippon Denso High Flow Fuel Pump, i've searched everywhere for one and manged only to find Tweakit.net who are very very over priced, also a workshop in melbourne Chasers sell them around $300 i think... apparently the tomei and HKS pumps are based on this denso pump (not 100% sure)

This is the link to the pump, not sure if anyones used them but apparently they hold big HP and are direct fit (not like tomei)

It's the rubber seal that sat around the edge of the hole when you removed the white plastic unit.

1st time i took mine apart, mine didn't move so i didin't see what the big deal was.

....2nd time (1 hr later as car wouldn't start :D ) it popped out with the plastic unit.

Went back in ok though.

Cheers man,

I was visualising a big O-Ring like seal somewhere. Mine is correct then.. :D.

Another thing, If I mounted a walbro pump in the same position on the bracket as the stock pump, will i still be able to drive the tank down till the fuel light comes on.

I noticed the walbro filter\pickup is only about 1/3rd the size of the original and sits at right angle to the pump which makes it hard to get it to face down deeper into the tank when pushin the pump back into position. I am pretty sure i got it facing down the right way.

Just FYI I am slightly under 1/8 of a tank on the stock gauge and still going. I am planning to drive it down as far as possible, Hoping to see the fuel light, this will confirm how far u can drive your fuel down using the walbro pump and filter.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
