Helll all,

 

I am looking to put a better fuel pump in car and well nothing seems to be clear about it. I've asked a few suppliera and they stated the pump has a regulator attached so they do not make one. I have seen a few people use a basic walboro or aem pump without issue but I can not find anything specific. The gtst has the standard drop assembly while the GTR has the lower basket the pump sits in... 

I've searched here and can't find specific posts for it.. ant and all help is appreciated

Don't know about gtst but yes gtr has a cradle.

Best to do it with the fuel very empty. Trust me!

Takes a bit of stuffing around to pull the cradle out, patience is required.

After it is out, install new pump same way as old pump. Best to use factory sock imo.

There's plenty of pumps out there however walbro has a new 525/h pump.

More importantly than the pump install is doing a rewire. Simple mod. Search that too lol

 

I have already pulled it out thinking it was bad, and I will be doing a direct relayed power to the new one but I can't actually find a replacement pump that is labeled for thr GTR. I can find expensive nismo or hks pumps but beyond that it's something to do with the pressure regulator on the pump.

Given that they look like EVERY OTHER FUEL PUMP......

Yep, get this one:

Don’t know about the newer model so cannot recommend it but others seem to think it’s very good.

Buy a brand new pump not a used one out of a GTR. Many pumps will do but the Walbros will do the job. If you want to just do it once put the bigger one in so you don't have to change it to get to your new power target in the future.

Don't worry about it. Even piss off that relief valve.

Walbro 525.

You seen how much power they draw? They WILL melt the stock wiring into the tank. And for no benefit for what the suse seems to want/need.

Thanks for all the input. I have planned to run a separate power feed off a relay to run whatever pump would work. I've always done that before to avoid melting or burning up stock wiring.

I'm just so confused as to what the pressure relief valve is designed to do. Maybe keep the pressure from being higher than needed?

 

 

It's the stock wiring AT THE PUMP that is the most concern here.  Not the wiring that trails off into the car.  Put a massive pump into the tank and feed it with the original dental floss wiring through the pump hat?  Recipe for voltage drop and wire meltage.  Put a pump in there that is bigger than stock (and, of course, big enough to do the job) but not too big for the wiring?  Yup, recipe for happiness.

If you go massive, you need to do more work.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
