If the 32 setup is anything like the 33 then it's not very hard at all, put one in mine a couple of weeks ago took about 15 minutes to do the actual pump swap and another 30 trying to undo/do up the stupid screw ring :unsure: . Was a bit fiddly getting everything in/out of the tiny access hole but overall only some common sense and reading of SAU was required.

Yea its pritty simple I did mine a month ago. Do not use the filter it comes with as it is to short and dont get the inlet and return hoses mixed up like i did. hehe. Try it yourself you can't really do major damage its just a fuel pump. live and learn :cool:

woops i did use the filter, the car has been idling a bit rough since the install. I'm getting it tuned tomorow (nistune) so i can find out exactly whats going on though.

Its most likely the filter.

To have a better look, I would remove the fuel inlet on the rb and aim it into a bucket - switch the key onto on and you should hear it prime (listen for a high pitch sound) and immediately fuel should come out consistently for a short period. If it doesn't seem to be consistent change the filter - go to Nissan and get a new one.

You herd back from the tuners?

Goodluck

thanks mate, yeh got it back from the tuners and its all good now, i had the afm changed with a z32 at the same time, so that could have been causing the bad idle.

He said it pumped in plenty of fuel and the car runs heaps better now :ninja:

Tune not required, it's also a good time to change your fuel filter if it hasn't been done in a while, was surprised how blocked mine actually was. Genuine from Nissan set me back 40 bucks.

time for me to get a fuel filter for the 33.....cheers for letting me know the price of it :/

      I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.

      Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob

      Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
