Making A Better Fuel Pick Up In R32 Gtr Tanks

[GTR32G]

Dose any one know how the yellow plastic fuel pump holder is clipped in or held in the tank for a R32 GTR, I want to take it out to make better mounts on it to mount my aftermarket fuel pump in the tank. Or try and make a better pick up as I am getting fuel surge in right handers at Oran Park GP,

It seems to be clipped in some how and has a slight amount of movement all of 3mm where it's clipped in from but I can not find a release clip,

Don't want to push to hard on it as could be bit brittle from having over 15 years of fuel on it, and don't want to be fishing plastic bit out of my tank.

Or how do other people mount aftermarket fuel pumps in the tank?

I don't want to fit a surge tank in the boot as I need boot space when I take the car on holidays, hate listing to noisy fuel pumps from a surge tank, or fit a fuel cooler to keep fuel temp down when a surge tank it fitted. Just want to get the best possible use out of the standard set up with a bigger pump.

Any help would be great!

the clips are at the base they are about .5cm high and are on each side of the bracket right at the bottom. can be very stiff after all this time, but if you break them you will need a new bracket (otherwise it will float around the tank)

the standard fuel pump has a little arm with a sock filter on the end that goes right to the bottom of the tank. aftermarket like the bosch pumps dont normally have this but you might be able to refit the arm to the aftermarket ones

but really, the best way to stop the surge is just run a little more fuel (over 1/4 tank) Oran Park off the bridge is about the worst it gets.

i did a fuel pump installs on a few r32's and have realised that the 044 fuel pump with an earls fitting on the end of it seems like it was purposely fabricated for the r32 fuel tank and bracket. i mounted it on the standard bracket with no dramas at all, and sat around 5-7mm from the bottom of the tank.

this is what it looked like after getting it on, but this was on a gts-t, im not sure if its the same on a gtr:

With that install what fittings did you use, and did you put a strainer on the end?

pm r32woohoo as he supplied the fittings for his install.

the 044's have their own strainer, just like the 040's. if you have a look inside the pick-up there is a fine steel mesh.

Thats Duncan for your help, was able to get the whole mount out, mount the pump on there better played around and

got it as low as possible.

Also thanks Security for your help looks like the pick up is totaly differnat on GTS-T to GTR?

GTR pump mounts on the bottom of the tank in a little cradle surge pot.

Thanks again.
