hey guys, sorry to bring back an old thread but when your putting the pump back into the tank, how far down does the two slots on the pump cradle go into the bracket. I can only get it a little bit down.

Is it suppose to go all the way down till you can see the split anymore?

Thanks, Mike.

it can be difficult to get the two pins to slide all the way down due to the width and length of the pump. if you located the pump and electrical connectors correctly it will fit...just (for a 984). have you got a pic of the pump on the cradle?

an 044 is longer again which might be quite a fiddle.

hey mate, sorry dont have a pic of the pump on the cradle but it is an 040 and i have located it as low as possible. I cant see anything that is actually stopping the pump from going down further into the slots.

ATM my fuel gauge is reading below a quarter and when i put the pump in as far as i can it is fully submerged in fuel.

ok, it will be related to where the clamps are located or the orientation of the electrical terminals.

try rotating the pump and/or clamps around. it took me a while to orient the pump the best way. the 984 is longer so the 040's length is not the issue.

i did an 040 install into a r33 on the weekend. if i had all the tools and parts on hand (instead of waiting for people to drive around and get them for me) i could've done it in about 30 mins. as it was it took me under 2 hours, and in that time i also installed a new fuel filter, and spent a fair bit of time talking and waiting for people to turn up with clamps, etc). it took me about 10 mins to get the pump out. then i just removed the old pump, snapped the L shapped bracket off (bend it a few times in each direction till it snaps), then mounted the pump to the bracket, put it back in and bobs your auntie.

i didn't cut the metal hose at all. i just butted the top of the pump up against it and put the stock hose over them both. this has the base of the bracket about inline with the writing on the pump (so it sticks down about an inch below the base of the bracket). this means that the top of the bracket doesn't go down the whole way in it's little clip (only about 90%), but so far we have had the fuel gauge down to about a needle width above the empty line with no signs of surging. the base of the pump sits about 5mm higher that the bottom of the pipe in the sock of the stock filter.

i used all the stock fittings, the only bits i used that weren't factory were 2 hose clamps to hold the pump to the bracket. i just drilled out the stock ring terminals cause i couldn't be bothered waiting for someone to go buy me some bigger ones.

i will photochop the pic at the top of the page to show how i had it sitting since i didn't take any pics.

Worst job putting a fuel pump in-tank. I got so light headed from the petrol fumes when I put mine in. Best tip with the 040 make sure you orientate the clamps so they clear the edges of the tank, other wise the bracket won't push all the way down all they way.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
