well my series 1 stag started to have problems just as i was passing through warnnambool, started losing power at about 3000 revs. I made it to a campsite i had planned to stay at in peterborough, however now it wont start without banging under the fuel tank, and shortly dies thereafter. So im stuck here untill tuesday with my only hope being to tow to warnnambool to get it done. Does anyone know the part number for the fuel pump or what local cars share the same one? Also would my best hope be trying the nissan dealer in warnnambool, or any other suggestions? Anyone live around this area? Cheers

Look for a walboro drop in to suit R32 GTR. should be the easiest fit and they are said to be the same fuel tank. 180ish from bursons.

Almost any nissan pump or at least any skyline pump should get you home if you can get a second hand one cheap. If you can wait you can get one from here:

http://www.nzperformance.co.nz/store/walbr...mp/prod_80.html

which is a new intank Walbro with a nissan fitting kit for NZ$165 which should work out to about the same in aussie dollars with postage. Of course if you can get one where you are it will be worth paying a bit more just to keep you on the road.

Yeah pretty easy to change too, now that I've been through that... but good idea to a) disconnect the battery b) have very little fuel in the tank (like 1/4) c) have a big fire extinguisher onhand with someone ready to operate it and d) DISCONNECT THE BATTERY

...so yeah if you're comfortable kneeling in the back of your wagon with your arms up to your elbows in a fuel well then you can change it yourself. Pump size is 38mm diameter x 90mm length. That's a match with the standard pump's diameter and as near as makes no difference a match for the standard pump's length. The stock FPR should handle the increased flow rate just fine; at least well enough to drive back to a tuner carefully Most difficult part of fitting an aftermarket pump like the Walbro (which fits easy) in my opinion is changing the electrical connector to fit (although it MIGHT use the same one as stock - can anyone confirm this?)

i had the power wire come loose of my fuel pump (040) after going thro a rather large pot hole and i pulled it out,rewired it and re-assembled it on the side of the road, at 1am in the morning with a hyundai excels headlights on.wasnt very fun.then a week later the fuel pump fried itself.

its not a hard job,once you've done it

pretty sure my stock connectors were the right size for the 040 terminals

good luck matey

If you need another pump urgently, I have my old stock pump. Works fine ... I just upgraded to a Walbro. Give me your address and you can have it.

rubyrs4 if your in the warrnambool area that would be great! Still stuck here, bursons cant get a walbro for a week or two, trying nissan and other spare parts dealers now

No ... Adelaide.

If that doesn't work, it'd be quicker for me to post my pump to you surely

Pay to get Ruby's overnighted to you and then buy the Walbro from NZ Performance for $165 at your leisure.

I have not replaced a fuel pump in the Stagea yet but I know from previous experience that if the Tank lid has a rubber O ring that its best to replace it when changing the pump, as the factory ones seem to blow out and get larger on contact with air. As I said this might NOT be the case for you , but might be an idea to look into it.

get Reuben's overnighted. Prob the quickest and easiest being drop in.

where do you get these from? can you get generic items?

Don't think he needs it anymore.
