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.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
