What Are Signs Of A Dying Fuel Pump?

[335]

Hello I have a R32 GTST The fuel pump is loud and sometimes starts vibrating the car too much. Its doing it alot now. Its not my engine or belts or anything. Could the fuel pump be dying? I took it out of another 32 that was junked last year.

Help

Sounds pretty old, Id say yes.. If the car is stock just buy a R34 GTR pump, a walbro pump (only if the car is stock) or another item Tomei, Nismo Bosch to name a few.

Oh so I will change soon. The car has a RB25 turbo, stock smic, catback exhaust and intake pod. Why do you say only if stock?

i learnt the hard way, i had mine replaced.

i had no noise indicators, just lost power bit by bit untill i knew something was up. took it in for a dyno and they picked it up straight away. lost about 25 kw before i really noticed she wasnt kicking much.

your up for 400 to 500 bling for a aftermarket one, plus dyno ! Enjoy

First thing i'd do with a car with a stock pump - change it

simply not worth the risk

My mate has a 32, his sign that told him it was a pump was while he was driving or idling the car would just cut out! happen a few times till he finally got a new one! I think it was the time it cut out at the lights on a steep hill lucky a cop was there to help him push it!
