Hey guys

i want to replace the fuel filter on my Fuel Pump. It looks like a little white sock / filter thing.

Anyone have a part number for this item or know where i can get a replacement one?

I know that nissan say that it is a non serviceable item, however, i want to be able to put a new one in for peace of mind when i install my new fuel pump

Cheers

-Mark

Have you got the new fuel pump yet?

Last time i replaced one was on an evo. The new pump (walbro) actually came with a new one of those white sock filter things...

That is not the fuel filter as such.. there is usually another one somewhere in the car.

hey guys thanks for the suggestions. on my trip today and total waste of time, i have found that for future reference:

1. as zei said, there is no engine fuel filter. only the sock strainer thing. however there is a filter in the tank which the fuel pump itself sits in, its a massive white one. i tried to buy one from repco, both X-Trail and Maxima ones did not match the V35 one. I went to Nissan and they said it only comes complete with a new fuel pump, which from them costs $1100. ouch!

2. the stock fuel pump is very easy to get to. under your rear seat on the drivers side.

3. my car is fine, and i got worried for nothing all because of a stupid dyno readout. :P

4. i saved money on buying a new fuel pump woo~!

5. my car made approx 8-9kw extra with the motordyne plenum spacer and the intake tube over a stock VQ35DE which is about a 12hp increase, which seems about right.

Just want to know how hard is it to replace the fuel pump back to the spot without stuff things up??...on a CVT sedan ofcoz.

I just had a 80,000k major service at CBD nissan.......its been over 2 week and back to them with petrol leakage under the body.

they said it was the O-ring on the fuel pump as it curved when they place it back on the first time...

second time they said they applied some "glue" to stop the leak - but still leaking....and had to leave the car there for 2 days to get it done

now just found out the car still leaking petrol for the third time....just send the car back to nissan.....plus sniffing petrol emission out from the back seat while driving over 2 weeks ...

is this like a common issue? is really that hard to replace the o-ring/fuel pump back to the original spot?

bro suspecting they might replaced incorrect part on the fuel pump/filter causes the leak.

what happens is the o ring will swell up which it probalby has when it has come in contact with the petrol they have spilled onto it.

you will need to replace the whole o ring it only costs a few measly bucks if they are serioulsy GLUING the oring down WTF??? take your car elsewhere

      I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.

      You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
