Awesome - Got a dyno done on my car and the AFR stays at like 14ish from 1k rpm to 6k rpm >_<

So been taking it easy and saving for a fuel pump but it's hard when you just get your annual insurance bill... anyway I think I might go for this tomei pump too looks/sounds better then the others I have heard about.

Had a read through this and I think I can install it myself - well done guys and thanks!

yes easy to fit.. so I thought.. I can hear the pump (nismo) priming (or trying to) but it's bloody loud and doesn't sound right, sounds far to high pitched or something. Car doesn't start, so I assume it's not feeding fuel, but when I disconnected the hoses again after a little while the line was full of fuel. Disconnecting the line going back to the pump released a lot of air (from the tank I think).

Any one have any ideas? Could I just have the hoses connected the wrong way around or something? If that even matters.

Well i installed my walbro today (from sliding performance) anyway had a bit of trouble with the fuel pump isolator rubber that goes on the bottom, its to small to hold the pump in place on the standard bracket, so i modified the standard one by cutting it to fit the fuel pump as best i could, it sits slightly adjar bcoz of the filter sock that comes with this pump doesnt go down where the standard one goes it goes out to the side instead. i just want to know with this not being as deep as the standard one will i have trouble with fuel pick up etc?

also i zip tied the pump into place to stop it from moving. so it shouldnt slip off the bracket at all now. sounds a bit dodgey but we made sure it was sitting as close to stock as possible.

other then these problems it was all pretty straight forward.

id like to hear a few more story's of people who have installed walbro pumps to see if they had any problems with there installs?

Cheers

I did the walbro pump install, mine fitted fine with the smaller rubber bottom it came with. And the factory filter fits onto the walbro pump so you don't have fuel pick up problems when running low on gas. I found the walbro pump to be a very easy replacement.

the small rubber bottom i got doesnt fit tight like the standard one, the half round shape it fits into wasnt the same size on mine. so i just modified the standard one, seems to work just as good anyway, had no problems with it. pumps fine.

I installed Walbro, just had a good look at how std pump sat on bracket and then put Walbro in same place (slightly slower on bracket) using the rubber/foam sleeve it came with and 2 x steel threaded clamps (big hose clamps), used the filter sock from the std pump I think.

Changed it with fuel guage needle on empty line - started fine (on 2nd key turn) and hasn't missed a beat since, and I like to run to fuel light. (Yep change fuel filters regularly)

You can hear the pump if you listen for it and can hear the pitch change from idle voltage to on throttle voltage, certainly not an isue though, nice to know it's working.

FWIW: Nowhere near as loud as Bosch GTR pump in 200SX.

(If you use a Walbro they are very sensitive to voltage vs flow rate) there is a graph somwhere about fuel pump comparison for a Supra (US site), google it.

After reading the whole thread from page 1 to page 3, i can assume that the Nismo Fuel pump (which is identical to the Tomei one) WILL work with the stock Fuel regulator AND Stock injectors AND i do not need to install the included pressure valve .

    • 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.
