Its better to upgrade your fuel pump!! A lot of people said skyline stock fuel pump does not provide enough fuel!!! many of my friends get the nismo upgrade fuel pump. Also if you're going to upgrade turbo or anything else, you don't have to worry about your fuel pump again!!

You may not NEED the extra fuel at the moment, but you will need it to get more power with a decent tune...

The nice thing about a new fuel pump is thats it new... It gives you peace of mind knowing that it has a better chance of not dying, therefore killing your pride and joy...

Fuel pumps can die, slow lingering deaths, slowing reducing the amount of petrol to your engine and therefore possibly damanging it at the same time...

I have a walbro 500hp in tank pump. Not hard to fit, I use the standard pick up point and it doesnt make lots of noise... It didnt cost the earth either, coming in at i think 160 delivered... There are definately better pumps though, like the NISMO and TOMEI pumps, but they are circa $450+ delivered (are a direct fit though, with no mucking round)

All depends on what you are after...mods are never ending...trust us...we all know that far too well...

First step...change the fuel pump...as mentioned...a 18 year old pump is as good as dead and i can almost guarantee that it will be leaning out under heavy load...

had that problem on my r32.

stock fuel pump was causing my car to run lean, replaced it with a GTR fuel pump and all good now :banana:

If the GTR pump is 18 years old then it might soon start suffering from the same problem...even though its rated to flow more...with the price of warlbro and bosch pumps nowadays its probably better to go that path...

yeah thats true, with the prices of bosch pumps today, better to get that instead of gtr pump. Once the gtr pump starts playing up, then ill upgrade :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
