I made 370+rwkw with a Nismo pump and Nismo 740cc injectors, as have many others.

You will be fine.

The nismo intank will be enough for you wont have any problems great pump if dont want to go external surge tank setup.

Thanks guys. Do you know what the Nismo pump is HP rated to or how many LPH it can flow in comparison to the 040?

A few that I have found on the net say they are Nismo fuel pumps for GTR's, I am assuming this will have no problem fitting one like that in my GTS-T? When installing would I need to drill out any restrictor to get the max flow out of it like I did on the Bosch, or can I just install as is?

Does anyone know where I could pick one up for a reasonable price in Melbourne, saves me waiting for one to arrive in the post

Even though you were using a 040, but is the consesus still that a Bosch 044 mounted intank will die a premature death if using E85?

Very curious as I'm running a 044 intank and I want to switch to E85 but just wondering if anyone has ran E85 since the last post and had good results :thumbsup:

Thats not to say every Bosch pump be it 040 or 044 will die using E85, I was just speculating on why mine failed but I don't know for sure. Maybe somebody who has been using these pumps for prolonged periods can share their experiences

been using 044 in e85 for 1 year now no problem.

Do you have your 044 intank? I know its meant to be an inline fuel pump but can it be installed intank? My friend has a spare one thats all and I can get it tonight, if I could do it that way at least I could use my car until the Nismo arrives

go the nismo pump brent

Cheers Hamish - I will try and source one from Japan, hopefully it doesn't take too long to get here. Any ideas of the usual delivery times from RHD?

Nup I have my nismo intank and my 044 is mounted inline externally with my surge tank.

I have just picked up a Brand new 040 tonight for an awesome price so at least now I will be able to get the car back on the road.

I am still intending on getting a Nismo pump down the track its just right now getting the car on the road ASAP was my number 1 priority.

I will drain what is left in the tank tomorrow (United fuel) just as a precaution, as the fuel pump had problems shortly after using that fuel from that particular station (i'm not blaming the fuel or the station I am just being cautious). I am also under the believe that the United blend might have a higher ethanol content then the advertised E85 as I've heard it is often around the E90 mark & the guy at the servo stated that often it is E90. Going by that theory is it possible that a 90% ethanol blend with only 10% unleaded might have seized my pump due to lack of lubrication? I might be completely wrong with what I have just said but its just a thought..

Anyhow, after putting my pump in tomorrow I shall start with a fresh batch of Caltex E-flex which will generally have a lower ethanol % and see how I go

I will report back after using it for a while and let people know whether the same thing happened or not

Brent, ID1000's, Nismo intank, 400rwkw - Trent said no issues what-so-ever.

As for United, Braeside has varied between 83-85% Ethanol over the last couple months, seems quite consistent :) My sensor has yet to read anything higher than E85

Caltex has been bang on E70 for ages, sensor never read any different except for i period during winter last year when it went into the 60's, but never seen it change from E70 since and i've been on United for about 3 tanks.

Daz: Aren't we running similar setups? why so hardcore? You didn't need to change the lines either, standard will cope fine.

So has anyone tried the Denso pump (also sold as Tomie etc) performance similar to or better than the Nismo for less money:

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
