Here they are, consider aftermarket bolt-in or you may just have some contamination, very fine tolerances inside the pump. Just the act of removing it, draining it and cleaning filter may fix it.

I would consider after market but what should I get ?, Would prefer something that bolts straight in.

Thanks for your help

I think the factory pump will put you close to $1k mark. The M35 uses the same pump as the V35 skyline according to FAST. If you check ebay and heaps of US sites there are many aftermarket pumps available for the G35 infinity (same as V35), dephi, walbro and bosch etc, these are for 3.5 NA not your 2.5 turbo, so might take some more research.

If you pay someone to install a Walbro or a Bosch you will probably still come out cheaper than a stocker and have a better pump as well (but as Simon says, change/clean your filters first).

Thanks for that I will do so, DO you know if the Walbro pumps are fitted inside the tank like the standard ones ?.

Another thing I noticed with the M35 is that the pump has 4 wires controlling it and that it is variable speed.

The extra wires are not the sender unit as this is mounted on the other side of the tank.

I did some more research on the weekend end and I stand corrected.

It looks like one side is the Fuel pump, the other side is the fuel gauge.

My Walbro is intank. Bosch do an intank and outside pump - probably easier to stick with the intank. Haven't sussed out the wiring yet . Apparently S1 has two power levels to pump maybe yours is variable. I plan to change mine to full voltage (13.8v) as it seems there is normally a resistor in place and walbro need full current to perform to max. I will have to do some more research (plently of info in general skyline pages).

I checked it out today and removed the original pump and its a 2-wire job where the other two are for the fuel level. When i measure the voltage @ idle its 13.8 V all the way to redline so no variable fuel stuff.

Ordered a Walbro intank so will put this in when it gets here.

FYI nissan wanted $450 for the pump.

Which Walbro did you order (part#)?

Or was it for a VQ35?

It was the GSS342, used in G35 & 350Z. Had a better spec than the stock nissan one, I guess Ill have to wait and see if the results are worth it. I guess it has to be since the stocker is shot.

AFAIK they are 255L/hour hi-pressure??

the stock FPR should take care of any additional pressure

Thats right, Not sure what the fuel pressure is on VQ25 but hopefully it should work ok.

Might be a little richer though and need a tune.

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
