Gonna be installing a new fuel pump on the weekend...just wondering Do you need to use any special type of wire and terminals for this? or just the standard stuff u can buy from auto one/ super cheap?

because on the how to it doesnt actually say, and just looks like standard wire...but i wasnt sure how that would go being in the tank? also...do the terminals need to be covered up?

thanks.

Pretty much all you do is replace the stock pump with the new pump, it's very easy. Just make sure you don't get the polarities wrong like I did, the pump will run in reverse and not work.

Also are you planning on rewiring the pup to run direct off the battery? Highly recommend that you do...

Just looking at the DIY for it, the stock pump terminal connections are different to the ones on top of the 040?

rewiring the pump to run direct off the battery? if its the thing to do...then ill look it up and do it while im at it.

Ah ok, I assumed they were the same as an 044. Just standard insulated wire will be fine. Make sure you use heatshrink to cover up any exposed wires, you certainly don't want any sparks in there.

As for wiring off the battery, it made a huge difference to my pump. There is a DIY for it in the FI reference guide if you have a look in there.

      Import insurance in 2025

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
