ok well this is my second attempt at getting the walbro pump to work...

first time some random elec prob wouldnt allow anything on the car to work i thought it was the pump it wasnt but i put the stock pump back in.

this time the pump primes makes all its noises but its not pumping any fuel, put the stock pump in... no probs, fuels easy.

i havent soldiered anything, ive crimped on connecters to the walbro wires and then used the screw from the original pump and wires and screwed them together, (my soldering skills are VERY limited)

is the connection super pathetic that it wont pick up fuel ? theres a bit over a quarter of a tank and the pump is well inside the cradle.

your thoughts please.

no flaming, i no im shit at this sort of thing.

dangerman you seem to be correct.

ive just read on NS.com that the readings on the pump are the wrong way around. hence the pump primes but wont pump.

im yet to actually check mine but it was brought from the same seller so i assume its the same......

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
