I had more cuts when I removed the driver side heat shield when installing the LTH's then installing the RRP. :eek:

Finally started installing my kit yesterday afternoon. I'm doing it with the seats still in place as my garage is too small to allow me to remove them.
I made it up to the "hard part". Getting the OEM fuel pump out of the car without soaking the interior needed the help of a second pair of hands but went smoothly :)

Don't feel bad. I got a 5 lb garage with 20 lbs of crap in it. :shakes head:

Well I think "hard part" should be renamed to something more appropriate. Something like "hella hard part". Or "almost impossible hard". Or... Well you got my feeling!
Already spent 2 hours on it and I'm exactly at the same point.
I'm trying a 3rd arrangement for the fuel hose end inside the tank to be able to grab them when the OEM fuel pump is in place. The space to put your hands is so freaking small!

Did anyone had to remove the "Seatback center finisher" (the plastic thing that is vehicule wide and in front of the 2 opening to the fuel tank?
I get the feeling that in order to be able to connect the fuel hooses to the fuel pump, I'll need to remove that, but it's not written in the installation guide, so I'm a little puzzled...

I removed both seats and all of the plastic panels in the rear. You have to start from the rear to remove the panel in the front. As for the hoses. I used string and tied them up.

Here is my install thread. It might help you. ;)

Looking at your pics, I realise that you had the Seatback center finisher in place to the moment when you attached them to strings. I suppose you realized at that timer that it was impossible with in place, right?

Yea, that and when I mounted the relay.

Rusty: This part went off after the 5th or 6th or 7th (I lost count of them...) OEM fuel pump removal. That's the connector where you plug/unplug the syphoon hoose.
Did that happen to you as well? Was only putting it back in place? Did you glue it?
Thanks in advance!

Man, the hard part is hard... I gave up finishing it today (already 5pm in france) and I won't be able to work on it in another 3 weeks... Sh*t!

crap... that is not supposed to come off. It looks like yours was poorly sonic welded together. They are rather strong and I am surprised to see that happened.

I am concerned about glues holding up inside fuel. I will have to try and find some information on that. Some glues are really strong and seem to almost melt the plastic together, perhaps it is a viable option.

Damn Nissan for not letting us purchase individual components of the fuel pump module.

Actually that is the low pressure/vacuum side of the siphon. So if all else fails, a stainless worm clamp holding it on would probably suffice, although ugly enough.

If you have 3 weeks before working on it again... perhaps try the craziest crazy glue you can find, let it dry, and then toss it back in the gasoline and let it sit and soak and see how it is after the 3 weeks?

Crap, already too late to try that. What about the fuel resistant tape we talked about in PM?

The thread tape? When you play with the stuff you will see that its not that sort of tape... its not like sticky or anything, its just a thin strip of PTFE to take up the gaps in the threads so fluids cannot seep through. Its also not thick/strong enough to wrap around something that way... its very thin and tears easily.

OK, I'll have to find something else... :'(

Oh SH!T!!!!! :eek:
