Seperate fuel pump wiring/relay Install

Hey guys, calling on the gurus out there who have done this before.

Ive got a Bosch intank pump that i want to put into an R32 GTST, but in order to maximise current and performance, i would like to run seperate wiring to the stock pump all the way to power and ECU.

I am told that you need a seperate relay setup and heavy gauge fused wiring. I was thinking of keeping the stock wiring as is and then running the aftermarket pump just incase the pump gets sold or changed back to stock.

Is there a FAQ or Tutorial about doing this? What are your experiences and how did you overcome spefic problems.

Im not an autoelec by trade, but i have done a few custom wiring installs before, just need a circuit diagram witha general direction to where i should be heading thats all :(

My impression is that i need to get the fuel pump on signal from the ECU, switch a relay that powers the fuel pump and presto your pump is on. Fuel pump signal goes off, pump turns off. Everything is grounded nice and tidy back to the battery for optimum performance.

Does the R32 have a current droping resistor prohibiting the amount of voltage that goes to the pump during light loads, like on other nissans?

Thanks guys

you pretty much got it on the ball, and if you do decide to put the std back in it doesn't hurt to have upgrade wiring there.

as for the dropping resistor, dunno if the R32 has them, but they are a pain in the arse anyway and you can do away with it, dunno how tho.

I haven't seen differential voltage on R32's. It doesn't matter anyway, since it is only switching voltage. Simply select a suitable relay for the posible range of voltages. I use a solid state relay, not mechanical as it is located close to fuel. No sparks for me.

I run both pumps off the same relay. So it is simply a matter of pulling up the standard wiring harness, plugging the switch wiring into the relay, and then using the harness (I made up) to connect to the pumps. To put it back to standard I just unplug the relay remove the external pump and plug the standard wiring back into the standard pump in the tank.

Hope that makes sense:cheers:

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
