GUys i finally got my original pump out. (dam hoses were sooo tight) anyway I have now mounted the pump on the bracket & wired it all in.

My question is how the Heck is it fitted.

I have spent ages fiddleing with it in the tank but to no avail, it just dosnt seem to fit.

Is there something I am missing as others have got it in??

I have attached a phone pic of the pump mounted on the bracker with a hose clamp around the pump after cutting the original bracket. maybe peoples on here dont hose clamp as this is all I can see that maybe stopping it go in or do you have to insert it a certain way or somthing...

Please help as its getting cold and I am starting to lose my temper with this pump..

Try moving the hose clamp tightening screw so it is at 90 degrees to the cradle back, ie opposite side to the "locking tab". I cant remember exactly, but i had a similar issue, and it was the screw that was stopping if from going in, rotate it till it fits.

finally got it in, yes i did rotate the hose clamp. i actually added some fuel hose (cut a 1cm piece & and split it in 1/2 ) to mount behind the bracket & pump. I noticed the original was supported on rubber so i did this to removed any vibrations. Boy what a pain in the arse job though.... its in and staying that way now though as I dont want to go through this dramma again...

thanks for advice though guys....

Ps I get this fixed then my pc has a hernia hence my late reply back.Now to fix that bloody pc...hmmm

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
