Hey all

Due to age i think i shall replace mine

who is running what, what was needed to fit it etc

Series one RS four owner here...

Should i get a Walbro, or a Bosche 044 or 040?

-Ryan

I'm running a Walbro GSS-342, it's a 255LPH/500hp pump and Boostworx fitted it no worries in my series 2. Had it fitted and tuned the same day. The pump cost me $195 delivered from Slide on these forums see here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Wa...albro+fuel+pump. Can't remember cost of fitting but should be around $100 maybe less.

I would recommend getting a workshop to fit it, however the walbro comes with good instructions and all the bits you need (new wiring harness, clamps, fuel line, sock/filter etc. etc.)

I chucked a walbro in mine too. cheap, easy and enough flow for 300kw.

Josh, no noise from the pump it sounds exactly the same as standard.

Only thing to be careful of it you do it yourself - the fuel sender is very sensitive/prone to breaking. Be very careful when you remove and install it, and make sure the float is properly seated against the sender.

how long have you been running the walbro one DaveB? and is it a noisey pump, can you here it running in the cabin?

Been running mine since Christmas 2008. Pump is at least as quiet as stock, can't hear it in the cabin. As the others have said. btw whoever said they can get one for $240 with 'fitting kit'... last time I checked the SAU group buys the GSS-342 from Slide on SAU comes with everything you need to fit it to a stagea for $195 delivered. This is where I got mine.

Btw I'm currently making about ~185rwkw (auto, so over 200rwkw in a manual) on about 14PSI with gcg hi-flow neo turbo and tomei FPR.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
