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.

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.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
