Hey guys,

I recently installed a r33 gtr fuel pump into my r33 gtst.

The problem is when i pulled my original one out i dont recall it being held into place by anything. When i put the gtr fuel pump in i couldnt find anywhere to clip it, so i put it in the way i thought i pulled the original one out.

It is a louder pump, i was aware of that but it also makes strange noises at lights with half a tank of fuel.

My question is, tomorrow should i clip the bracket onto something (if theres something its suppose to be held onto) or just leave it?

Cheers in advanced.

its a bit hard to actually see it, but the whole assembly drops down toward the front end of the tank. the bracket slides into a bit of plastic near the top and the pump hangs down to the bottom. its not the pump that is connected, but the very top of the bracket itself. post a pic of what you took out so we can tell you what happened i dont have pics.

its likely that your pump is just swinning around hanging off the fuel hose. it will be very noisy when it hits the side or if it rises above the fuell level.

Hard up against the inside front wall of the tank, there is a large flat whitish plastic fitting. The metal bracket from the fuel pump slides into this and clips or locks in place.

Have good look and you will see what I mean, sounds like you didn't clip yours in to me.

Easier to do it with 1/4 tank or less.

This might help, its for a 32, but I think they are the same.

I originally attempted this with a full tank of premium, once alot of petrol started pissing out onto the ground i thought HMMMM thats not a nice way to treat golden liquid.

Anyways i dont drive it too much through the week so tried thrashing it around for a bit and ended up doin it with 3/4 tank of fuel which still didnt help plus it was getting dark but i did it anyways.

I know what both of you are saying which helps alot because i had my hand in there and thought i was looking for nothing and making my premium petrol not so premium anymore.

Ill have another crack at it tomorrow now that i have around half a tank or less and will actually be able to see with daylight :D .

Cheers fellas.

Its an easy one to think you got it right and then here the tell tale extra noise of the loose pump and the clunks as you go round a corner etc

I actually had a dud pump and a so called reputable skyline shop changed it, only to miss the bracket. I ended up having to redo it myself later at home and seat the bracket home. So even the 'experts' can get it wrong. But you'll here [or should here] a click as it seats home. A bit of sunshine into the boot helps heaps, park your car so the morning or arvo sun is beaming in.

Yea i did it today, i could actually see where the bracket clips into but the gtr pump wouldnt let it go in so i had to bend it a little.

I could only get it to go in about 1cm, it just wouldnt go anymore so i left it like that. It still made the same noises when sitting at traffic lights so im not sure if its normal or not but as long as it drives then who really cares i guess.

Thanks alot for the help i appreciate it.

aha that may be the fake one... there is one spot which is very similar but it wont go in properly, the actual thing is very close but a bit higher up. I think it may be a case of take it directly up 5 cm or so.

the pump needs to go in a bit crooked, then once its down the bottom you can pull it up and into the bracket, thats why one prong thing is a bit longer than the other on some.

i remember doing thse now and although its great if everything goes well, sometimes you just cant get it in- like all good things in life lol

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
