Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

[Butters]

For some reason I find myself removing the rear diff often. 

The top two back bolts that go into the diff to hold the attesa pump in place are just a PAIN. 

 

Has anyone mounted the attesa pump to the subframe instead of diff ? 

Also thinking about trying a stud on one of them to help locate. 

Other idea's ? or tricks ?

Clearly this is just a "ME" problem

 I'm not saying it's simple, but I'd never put a moment's thought into how to improve it

Nissan thought about it, hence why the R33/R34 puts it behind the RH rear tire. I just don't think you can pull that same trick without a ton of work.

There’s a fuel tank in the way in a 32

AFAIK didn't some of the race variants of the 32s do this relocation? Just relocate the fuel tank into the trunk.

more then likely but not very practical for a street car

You'd be better off putting the ATTESA stuff into the boot. Same same but different, and not as bulky as a fuel cell. The space under the parcel shelf is not what I'd call "useful" boot space most of the time, even if I seem to have a guitar (not mine - child's) sitting there most days lately.

Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit

Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like.

I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive
