always a good idea to have the support sytem before ramping up the power....

i've not seen a gtr one but like any other fuel pump should just be + and - up top....its quite simple take out the fuel assembly and remove old install new same way, use stainless C clamp to hold it...im not familiar with skylines but my 180 was really simple just take ur time and keep sparks away :P

When replacing the fuel pump with something like the GTR unit (on a gts-t) will anything else need to be changed/tuned? like the power signal from the battery, ECU etc..

Is it just replace and drive off?

Regards

Rob

another thing - take off the fuel pump fuse and give it a few cranks, usually helps reduce the amount of fuel spillage when u take off the fuel and return hose from the top of bracket....(spare clothes come in handy)

yep its in the trunk but not exactly like the 180's though, its right behind the rear seats, got this step thing like another level same as the 200sx u will see wat i mean....

if u decide to take off the neg. of battery then might as well reset ecu, press the brakes a few times after you pulled the plug.

ur question - if ur fpr (fuel pressure reg.) is in good order ur mileage shouldnt have any major changes though u will be running a lil more richer...

im sure jimx will be able to help ur more precisely as hes changed his to a bigass bosch item, ur will be easier though still probably require a bit of modding.

Sometimes the plastic screw top to the tank is hard to get off, but after you get it out, the GTR Pump will sit in the GTSt Pump cradle. As mentioned previously you will need hose clamps to hold it there. Make sure you put the pick up back in the right way, otherwise it will rest on the side of the tank and make a damn annoying sound. I bought an R32 GTR pump and I needed to cut some of the rubber on the cradle so that it fitted also. Not sure if an R33 GTR Pump requires this??

Should be pretty simple operation, plug in and drive off.. Shouldn't even have to adapt the fuel pickup like you would with an aftermarket pump. There is a thread recently where myself, JimX and Steve were discussing our installs - there is a few pics.

I don't think ignition is a huge concern, as the +ve battery terminal should have a nicely covered rubber cover. Just don't go making sparks hammering stuff or something.

Again, its discussed in other threads, but best method is to use a socket extender or something like this, and use a hammer to heavily tap the "jar" type arrangement counterclockwise (its a screw type thread) until it comes off. Then u can get to the pump pretty easily.. slot out bracket and it will all make sense.

Thanks for the info.

One more quick question, what type of power out put is safe for the standard gts-t's fuel pump?

If I am aiming at 200 rwk's will this be fine for the standard fuel pump (if it's in good health)?

Regards

Ps. What is the purpose of a fuel pressure regulator?

The standard GTS-t pump is capable of flowing up to around 220rwkw generally speaking. It depends on the dyno and the condition of the pump and the injectors, of course. It's not uncommon to get leaning out at under 200rwkw.

Disconnecting the battery is a bit of an overkill precaution I think. All of the wiring looms plug into the top of the fuel tank cap, which you need to disconnect before you even attempt to get the cap off anyway. If you want to disconnect the battery for this exercise, then make sure you disconnect both leads and remove the battery from the boot, because I reckon there'd be a bigger chance of accidentally zapping something if you just disconnected one lead and left the battery in place.

I'm pretty sure there is no voltage in those connectors with the ignition off regardless, so even if you did short something there nothing would happen until you went to start the car anyway.

I changed my GTS pump to a GTR V-spec pump, straight forward, only problem is getting that fiddly screw cap to thread back on. It was a direct swap, not sure what the talk about clamps is ??

    • Yeah, all the crude is used for fuels and petrochem feedstocks (pesticides, many other chemicals, etc etc). But increasingly over the last few decades, much of the petrochem synthessis has started with methane because NG has been cheaper than oil, cleaner and easier and more consistent to work with, etc etc etc. So it's really had to say what the fraction either way is. Suffice to say - the direct fuels fraction is not insigificant. Heavy transport uses excruciatingly large amounts. Diesel is wasted in jet heaters in North American garages and workshops, thrown down drill holes in quarries, pissed all over the wall to provide electricity to certain outback communities, etc etc. Obviously road transport, and our pet project, recreational consumption camouflaged as road transport, is a smaller fraction of the total liquid HC consumption again. If you're talking aboust Aussie cars' contribution to the absolute total CO2 production of the country, then of course our share of the cubic mile of coal that is used for power generation, metallurgy, etc adds up to a big chunk. Then there is the consumption of timber. Did you know that the production of silicon metal, for example, is done in Australia by using hardwood? And f**king lots and lots and lots of hardwood at that. Until recently, it was f**king jarrah! There are many such sneaky contributors to CO2 production in industry and farming. NG is used in massive quantities in Australia, for power gen, for running huge water pumps (like, 1-2MW sized caterpillar V16 engines running flat out pumping water) for places like mine sites and minerals/metals refineries. And there are just a huge number of those sort of things going on quietly in the background. So NG use is a big fraction of total CO2 production here. I mean, shit, I personally design burners that are used in furnaces here in Oz that use multiple MW of gas all day every day. The largest such that I've done (not here in Oz) was rated to 150MW. One. Single. Gas burner. In a cement clinker kiln. There are thousands of such things out there in the world. There are double digits of them just here in Oz. (OK< just barely double digits now that a lot of them have shut - and they are all <100MW). But it's all the same to me. People in the car world (like this forum's users) would like to think that you only have to create an industrial capability to replace the fuel that they will be using in 10 years time, and imagine that everyone else will be driving EVs. And while the latter part of that is largely true, the liquid HC fuel industry as a whole is so much more massive than the bit used for cars, that there will be no commercial pressure to produce "renewable" "synthetic" fuels just for cars, when 100x that much would still be being burnt straight from the well. You have to replace it all, or you're not doing what is required. And then you get back to my massive numbers. People don't handle massive numbers at all well. Once you get past about 7 or 8 zeros, it becomes meaningless for most people.
    • @GTSBoy out of the cubic mile of crude oil we burn each year, I wonder how much of that is actually used for providing petrol and diesel.   From memory the figure for cars in Australia, is that they only add up to about 2 to 3% of our CO2 production. Which means something else here is burning a shit tonne of stuff to make CO2, and we're not really straight up burning oil everywhere, so our CO2 production is coming from elsewhere too.   Also we should totally just run thermal energy from deep in the ground. That way we can start to cool the inside of the planet and reverse global warming (PS, this last paragraph is a total piss take)
    • As somebody who works in the energy sector and lives in a subzero climate, i'm convinced EV's will never be the bulk of our transport.  EV battery and vehicle companies over here have been going bankrupt on a weekly basis the last year. 
    • With all the rust on those R32s, how can it even support all the extra weight requirements. Probably end up handling as well as a 1990s Ford Falcon Taxi.
    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
