ok so my bosdh intank fuel filter keeps clogging up andgetting f**ked by debris in my tank.

it seems filtering my tank by using pumps in kinda expencive.

so i was gonna buy a new tank but i suppose i can get mine cleaned propperly.

i dont know if its random dirt and crap or if their has been standing watewr in their at some point and their is developed rust or something.

my question is where in adel should i go to have it cleaned and what is involved in cleaning a tank properly? can it be done myself?

interesting

fits but you need preety much everything associated with it.

so:

tank

straps

sender/pump

gauge (as that is cal'd to the 72 lt instead of 60.)

tank and straps i would get together

pump i assume a bosch internal pump will do like the gtst (needs to be replaced again anyway)

sender- would this be for the guage?

and guage....why would you replace this would the new sender just give the propper reading for the extra 12ltrs?

Cleaning the tank your self is pretty easy mate. Unfortunate accident caused a fuel fire while i was changing my fuel pump wiring. Any hoo i needed to clean the tank out after from melted bits and bobs. Its only half dozen bolts or so and a few hose clamps. Shouldn't take longer than 15 mins to drop it out. Drain it and go buy 10 cans off carbie cleaner and go wild. Inside of your tank should be clean i would imagine your only wanting to flush out shit that's gotten into tank.

Its pretty simple just make sure that once your done you give it a good 2/3 days dry time after you've cleaned it.

If you've got rust issues i wouldn't risk using even if you clean it.

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By r32-25t · Posted

      Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
