Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Nismo fuel pumps are only 275lph or something silly. Sure they bolt in but thats about it. 450lph walbro pump will also cost ~150 bucks less IIRC. If the R33gtst fuel pump mount setup is similar to the R32gtst it's a peice of piss to modify it to fit, though getting to the tank may be harder due to 33's being less likely to combust in a rear end accident.

You could probably easily go smaller injectors (720cc?) and shave off a hundred bucks. Also make sure you buy side feed injectors to suite your fuel rail, with the right size holes etc.

Really need a FPR? Making 300kw's here without one, but maybe there's different stuff on the GTR fuel system?

I wouldn't double the tuning, maybe add only 50%, for flex. You're basically getting two tunes in there. That's assuming you have no issues however, which can quickly add up unfortunately. I mean, best case, just a 98 tune, 500 bucks maybe. Worst case, things to wrong, flex tune, 2000 bucks isn't out of the question, so be ware.

you're also just missing little stuff. Turbo gaskets, new studs, fittings for Ethanol sensor and the like can add up to a few hundred bucks

You'll need to figure out how you're going to get the car to the tuner aswell, Everything you need to do is easy enough to DIY at home (and... satisfying to do, i'd recommend it), but with bigger injectors the car will be undrivable unless you can get the tune adjusted for the injectors. Not sure how easy haltec is to modify

Not compatible? So Walbro over Bosch 040?

If you say so. You've done it recently.

yeah, the Walbro pump is E85 ready and as Pete said flows more than nismo pumps.

It can be fitted in tank too (just like mine)

Yeah, budget for at minimum 2k in tuning costs with eflex

R33 fuel tank is completely different to R32, just FYI.

Not sure how simple it is to mount a walbro/040 in tank in an R33

well as long is its not mounted to the tank floor it'd be easy enough :woot:

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
