G'day all!

I have searched and searched for detailed instructions on here..... but alas, nothing with any detail to help out the guys fitting it!

I am currently not in australia, so it makes it hard communicating to the people charged with fitting my pump :rant:

anyhow, if anyone has fitted an 044 in tank, with no dramas and can post a detailed fitment instructions I will be most greatful!!!!

basically my car isnt going anywhere till I can get this pump in, and my next thread involving the AFMS!

cheers....

I dunno man, but if your so called mechanics cant even fit the fuel pump id be going elsewhere myself.

Im no mechanic myself, i know they arent straight fit but my mechanic had no problem mounting it, might be a little bit of working out to do but thats what your paying them for.

my thoughts precisely..... seems to be a "bolt on boys" place... however they do a very good tune job :(

just need to learn the aussie way of engineering things to work well, and not just off the shelf :D:)

no real grumbles, they are top guys! just need to give them the right info so they will know how to do it....

I think 1 hour is all that is needed....

From memory, they will just need to used the standard sock from your original GTR Fuel Pump. Then use male/female type terminals to handle the wiring side of things. Then all thats left to do is mount the pump on the bracket in the same position the original pump came from with a large hose clamp.

Hey mate

Had my car down at Bel's the other day while they were sorting out your pump the 044 is certainly alot bigger then std and won't go anywere near being able to sit in the stock craddle . We thaught we would be smart and pull my pump out to have a look but turns out my pump is just standered . That was a few days ago do they have it mounted now ?.

Hey mate,

I'm not too sure on the whole "where are we now" as its the weekend, and I'm still in singapore but will be back in sydney late monday night....

back to the pump issues, I have it on very good authority from both paul and stace, and also SK that all that is needed is it to be mounted in the factory cradle after slight massaging of the mounts, then a relay added to the system...

I have given them paul's contact as he is more than happy to talk to them about it.. and to quote him " its a 1 hour job easy "

as for the only other drama I think they are having problems with the AFMS? I cant see why? as they should squeeze over with the stock rubber being streched, and then the new apexi filters bolted to the front.... as SK said to me " 2 90 deg brakets to the stock holes and you are done!"

good to see you were there to see how it was going.....

I hope to have it all sorted by mid week and tuned ......

I am 100% sure the pump and AFMS are a simple job, it is as they say "simple when you know how" ... I just dont want to end up with the bill for the learning experience.... as you could understand naturally....

I have one installed in tank on my R32 GTR. Got some fittings from Pirtek and did some machining to make the filter fit nicely. Used a BIG cable tie to secure the pump in the factory cradle and also got another fitting to attach the pump to the fuel hose. Disposed of the check valve that comes with the 044.

To be sure we ran heavier cables as the 044 draws more current than the standard pump, and put in a new relay that is switched by the factory relay.

It works fine. Only took a few hours.

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
