you know bosch doesnt rate their pumps by hp they rate them by flowrates, id assume walbro does the same, I wonder then who decides to start rating them by hp?

I'd assume horses for courses, as long as you dont get a knock off pump thats floating around on ebay you should be fine surely.

I had a Bosch in-take pump fitted to my car after my original pump died as well.

One thing I have found, was that my new pump is a lot louder compared to my original Nissan pump. You can hear it pumping when you have the doors open.

Otherwise its working all fine.

i had the 040 in my r32 i think they the way to go,goodluck

Yeah i have one in my s14a, they are loud, im not sure if its the same for the r33 but when you install them on s14s you have to butcher the bracket so its basically a piece of flat bar, and hoseclamp the pump to it, i used some 6mm efi hose to line the hoseclamp, so much quieter than the first time i put it in.

Also used stainless 'glenlock' nuts, basically nylocs with a metal insert instead of nylon, to hold the terminals i made on.

If you are a cluey person and know your way around a basic toolbox you can fit an 040 yourself, I found it simple.

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
