Hey,

After having problems with my car running lean, i finally got around to getting the fuel pump checked and just as i through its dead (or dieing). So looks like time to upgrade.

I was adivce by the people i take it to, it get a jap fuel pump which is a direct fit to an r33 as the bosch fuel pump required some fitting time and will end up costing me just as much or more.

Now i got no idea about pumps, so if someone could help me it would be very helpful, my car is a stocker and im not going for huge hp in the future (if i did get around to it, i think the max i would aim for is 350/400rwhp but i dont see that happening anytime soon)

Ok so far i have this pumps in mind;

HKS Fuel Pump Ugrade 1407-RN022

(Fuel Pumps) ¥27,720

250 L/hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NISMO Fuel Pump 17042-RRS41

(Fuel Pumps) ¥27,720

4.1 L/min 180% more than standard. Includes harness and strainer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power Enterprise Fuel Pump 255L/H

(Fuel Pumps) ¥29,938

255L/hour.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOMEI Fuel Pump 183002

(Fuel Pumps) ¥28,760

248L/hour.

now im guessing that the L/Hour, will reflect the hp the pump can handle, so can anyone tell me wat they can handle (i would most likly be looking at getting the Tomie one)

any other info on the pumps (like do i need Fuel Regulator if i upgrade?) would be very helpful

Cheers Michael :P

Well if you want problem free and your planning big hugeness twin turbo mods (I take it you wanna do this from your other threads) then you can always get a GTR pump as a lift pump, bling surge tank, bling 044 external pump, and then bling braided lines.

Now that'd be BLING! :rant::P

I'm being a dickhead.

In all seriousness though, any one of the pumps mentioned above would be good enough :)

My only problem (not really a problem) is that im looking for a Pump which is A DIRECT SWAP, with the stock pump. I was told Bosch wasnt (so 044 etc are out of the question) im not sure about walbro, but im guessing they are the same.

As i memtion above to make the pump sit, and work 100% it means labour time and i was told that it is just easy to buy a jap pump

the gtr pumps are fine (unless you plan on more then 250rwkw), and are a direct swap for your old gtst fuel pump. Unless you want to go a nismo item (which is roughly $600 from memory) you'd be hard pressed to find one that is direct fit around here. They are cheap, but by no means a 'crap fuel pump'. Walbros are another good pump which is well priced, and in a few group buys i've seen of them, the guy threw in an installation kit consisting of all the other bits and pieces that you need to get it installed (with instructions in some cases). Didn't seem like much modification was required.

don't worry about this "direct swap business".. if you have half a brain, you can ring any of them when you get the bracket out and start thinking. I wouldn't be paying top dollar for a tomei, nismo or something pump like that which is probably just a rebadged something else at a 1/2 the price.

I've rigged up a bosch and a walbro into a couple of different skylines.. both wouldn't have been described "straight" fit as they didn't fit the bracket exactly, etc.. but nothing you can't fix with a bit of ingenuity.

Went I get my ass motivated, I'm going to put up a guide on how to install a pump into an R32 on a website I am doing on my buildup.. with photos, etc. Its a 30min job.

I got walbro 255l/h pump for $180 delivered as part of a group buy here

Just because its cheap doesnt mean it isnt good :rofl:  

Will support 250rwkw pretty easily

They wont handle more than 270rwkw though.

I was advised to buy one... and needless to say im peeved at the piece of junk as its maxed out @ 270rwkw.

Im going the Bosch now. Should have done it the first time and saved myself the hassle

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
