Fuel Pump Prob - Which Fuse/which Relay?

Recently posted this and got a ripper reply from 400KW how to remove the pump . . but, when removed the pump works fine, tested wires and no current at pump elec plug (adjacent plug for Fuel Gauge works fine).

So I pulled all the fuses and all check AOK with OHMmeter. I have Skyline Fuse box in English and the narrative doesn't have which fuse is for the Pump so I guess it shares with another "Ignition fuse".

I am down to guessing that the problem might be the Fuel Pump "relay" - but which Relay?

suggestions anyone - only alternative seems to be run a new live "fused" wire to get power?

Thanks Dave

My R33 GTS (Non-Turbo) died in peak hour (I mean peak - centre lane too) last night - just stopped, spins fine, doesn;'t fire - spark AOK.

No "tick tick" sound from the boot area and we reckon at 175Klm the fuel pump has retired to a better place (better than my lovely R33, hard to believe I know).

Anyway - where is it - is it in the tank?

Is it under the panel under the parcel sheld (4 x 10mm bolts) in the boot beside the battery?

Anyone done a swap before - is R33 Series One same as R33 GTS-T or R32 or maybee other models such as Maxima or 180SX etc etc

Suggestions welcome - also - in this case - anyone S/East suburbs of Melbourne got One - prefer factory -

Thanks guys/gals & other tech heads out there - Dave

On 32 GTR there's one in the boot, fairly close to the latch. You probably know this, but to test a relay just connect 12V the two pins that are shown as connected with a coil of wire (there's a diagram on the outside).

Not sure if your car has it, but there is a fuel pump control module that i *think* performs earth switching and switches a soft earth at idle, so there's less voltage at the pump when full voltage is required. These modules tend to die. On my car its behind the wall trim drivers side rear seat.

Also check the fuel pump ground, I had an issue where the fuel pump was fine but the factory ground just stopped working one day.

Grounding directly to the chassis worked fine....(and the thread I posted seem to show its a common mod)

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..

      Uniclutch install vid, RB Track edition.   Highlight reel is very drive able, not noisy but still heavy with the clutch master he has.
