Bosch 044 into 33GTR tips?

[MidnightGTR]

Im currently trying to source a bosch044 intank pump for the gtr

Im not overally mechanically minded but my mate is so he said he would be willing to have a go at it for me (hes more of a v8 then rice boy though so doesnt know skylines too well )

I searched the forums trying to find if anyones written up an article on this but without luck.

Would anyone be willing to write up a quick step by step/guideline to removing the fuel tank and actually replacing the pump with possibly some tips to mounting and running the hoses etc I would grately appreciate it

044 is exturnal, 040 is inturnal.

you can still put an 044 in tank. We had one intank on Staceys car and it made 360awkw before it started to struggle

044 needs a few fittings changed to fit in the stock pump cradle and position.

Have a read of this thread. Click.

I'd be shooting for a HKS or Nismo pump. You can get them cheap enough from the right places, and they are a bolt in replacement. I believe the HKS ones even come with the cradle attached.

Also, removing the fuel tank is quite un-needed. All you need to do is remove the boot carpet and get into it that way, through the inspection plate.

I also have something to watch out for, Im not sure if its so much an issue in gtrs.

If the pump doesnt have sufficient clearance from the tank walls all around it do not put it in tank, as the pump vibrates it rubs the plastic off the tank and chews it. I lost 2 x 040s to this before i just gave up and put an 044 in with surgetank externally.
