Fuel Pump install - who you recommend?

[jat24]

Even though it's meant to be easy, I'm stupid when it comes to mechanics. Anyway on my stock stock stock R33 GTS seems the fuel pump is dead (won't even start unless I punch the fuel tank a few times). I want to put a cheap Walboro GSS341 in cos I'm gonna sell the car in 6 weeks. I'll most prob buy the pump off ebay $170odd.

Anyway, who would you recommend to install this pump? I checked out hte installation instructions for a Bosch on a silvia and you need a hacksaw, etc. Reckon if I took that and the pump to the local servo, they'd say I bought the wrong one or something.

Any guys you recommend? Bettter yet someone that comes out (so I don't have to tow the car there).

Alternatively, anyone here wanna do it for some pocket money?!

is the walbro a direct replacment? take your pump out and have a look, it might be easier than you think.

its the big bosch 044 pump thats a little harder to install.

walbro and bosch 040 are replacement but you have to bend the bracket to fit them in....

Go see the guys at Hyperdrive

contact details in sponsors thread

or DIY. It's not rocket science..... I fitted an 040 myself.... but obviously you must mod the bracket (bend it) and use some form of fasteners to hold it in place

Its all fun in games til you have to stick your hands up to your armpit in fuel ..... just ask GTSTvspec .... after he did mine he vowed never again - i think the fuel burnt the hair off his arms for a while there haha

Best contact the experts ........ "to the sponsors thread batman"

It isn't too hard to do. I watched Scott (C Yar) do mine, which reminds me, I think I owe him beer for that.. anyhow, it took us (him) about an hour or hour and a half to do it.

You'd get more satisfaction doing it yourself, or at least getting a friend to help, than paying someone else to do it

The Warlbro I put in required absolutely no modifications what so ever or bending of any brackets.

I have an original GTS4 Pump thats OK I replaced with a Bosch 040.

You could have that for less - not sure how much - make an offer?

Its not that hard to swap over but I am stuffed if I know how my fuel gauge works so well after trying to get it out and back in without bending the sensor float!

what walbro you get jase? and where from? price?

[uneekwahn]

I got it from a guy thru the silviawa forums, can't remember the model, but it cost $190 including shipping and arrived about 3 or 4 days after I ordered it.
