i would be changing it simply due to age of the pump, but also i think the stock one would be at it's limits.

new fuel pumps are cheap and take about 1/2 hour to install yourself

Ok cool, sounds like I should get a new one! lol

Might get one installed today while its in the workshop.....

My mate said he can get me "JR coilpacks", has anyone heard of them before? Ive tryed doing some research on google but cant find anything. Or would it be best just to get Splitfires?

Best to change it man.

WALBRO fuel pump is like $130ish, very good pump. I think there is someone with an R33 making about 300rwkw with one?

GTR pump is also a good upgrade. Its a similar price to a WALBRO pump, but 2nd hand obviously. There a good size pump and will serve you fine.

BOSCH 040 pump is a slightly larger pump, but worth more like $180. Also a good brand pump good for big power.

Personally running a GTR pump and aiming for about 220-240rwkw which I think it should be fine with.. But I only bought it because I got it cheap.

Would go with a WALBRO if I did upgrade as they are good value for money, just make sure you get an original one.

Just my input, hope it helps. :nyaanyaa:

Oh and just a quick input about injectors. They will be fine to about 215-220rwkw, once you exeed that or get near that its recommended that you change them as they get high into the duty cycle, which means there more prone to failure.

R32 GTR injectors are a good replacement, but for a few hundred more you can grab a new set of NISMO 740cc injectors, about $500-$600.

just think about how vital it is to keep a nice flow of fuel in your car.. change it asap.

i personally wouldn't change your 15 year old standard pump with a 15 year old GTR pump.

if you're really after GTR type, get the nismo pump. if you want your money's worth, get a bosch 040.

change the injectors too. i wouldn't feel safe keeping them close to full load.

that's my 2c :nyaanyaa:

If you dont have ignition problems, then you dont need any.

When you say ignition problems do you mean when i start the car? Becasue everytime i start the car i need to touch the pedal a bit to get the fuel going through? Would this be the fuel pump or my injectors?

With the Coilpacks, i wanna get some new ones as every now and then the car will start miss firing, but then it will be ok for awhile..... Think im gonna go for the JR coilpacks, they are new for $400. Spilfires seem to be $700... bit expensive.... Has anyone heard of the JR coilpacks?

It'll be okay to run your standard injectors at 215rwkw+ aslong as you've got a good tuner. I think it'll be best to change your injectors at 200rwkw though.

Like everyone else has said about the fuel pump, just get a new one. Don't replace a 15 year old pump with another 15 year old pump.

don't start pulling the cash out yet.. try a couple things.

for starters, have you taken off your spark plug cover? with it on it traps the heat inside which can make your coilpacks go funny.

second, try doing a coilpack diagnostic check to see if they're up to scratch.

and third, slap some injector cleaner in. see if that helps.

Best bet would be to change them out before they do go, as the density of compressed air/fuel in the combustion chamber increases, so does resistance, putting more load on the coil packs which will eventually cause them to fail :P

Splitfires are proven to work but they're also a rip off.. If you're handy with electronics it doesn't take long to wire up 3 bommodore coil packs in a wasted spark type setup :(

If you dont have ignition problems, then you dont need any.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
