Hi guys I am doing my friends gtr (turbos, exhaust, cam gears and major service as well as oil cooler etc) and I am done except for fuel pump, he was supplied (via ebay) a walbro pump which came with no instructions and looks very different to when I changed mine 6 months ago. Now this pump only has a straight strianer and no rubber insulator to take up the gap where as mine had a angled strainer and the rubber insulator and instructions. The guy he bought it off assures us that is will fit just use the nissan strainer and hose clamps, I tried this but it puts the pump offset which worries me. He rekons I must have got an evo kit but cant supply another as he said its not needed, has anyone had any experience with this? Hwn i did mine it was really easy and a 30 min job this is a real head ache and looks dodgy if I do what he suggests.

eBay fuel pump on a GTR? Are the turbos eBay jobs too?

Walboro and eBay are two wrongs.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Bin it and make him buy a genuine Bosch 044 from a proper parts store.

An 044 is an external isent it ? i would go for a 040 Bosch which is the in tank one your after..

Nope, so many mount internally. Can be easily mounted on the factory bracket.

040s are absolute shit due to the pickup design. I don't care what anyone says - its not a sock factory like design so it's shit.

It's really hard to find them and I don't understand why? How much mods are required for the 044? I have been running the walbro for 30000ks at nearly 300 kw without and drama but am happy to go for superior unit and btw no the turbos were bought from the forum and most of the parts from sau suppliers.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
