CJ Motorsports Road race pump...

I believe the fuel gauge readings become erratic at low tank levels when there is a lot of slosh going around. For regular driving, the fuel level readings shouldn't have any noticeable difference since the height of the fuel level sensors is unchanged.

LOL honestly I figured it would have entirely dissolved inside the fuel tank by now

Well been working on the install for about 4 hrs with a dinner break thrown in. I have the surge canister manifold in just have to do the final adjustment of the fuel lines then onto the next step.

Other than my arms looking like I was in a knife fight with a mini Edward Scissors hands "the lip around the fuel tank access holes is friking sharp

ill finish it up tomorrow.

my hands looked exactly the same after, so dont go to a spicy crab resturant after the install untill you heal up LOL

Ol' bay. LMAO

Installing LTH's is worst. Felled like I got into a fight with a pissed off puddly cat.

Think the worst think that did happen to me. Was having a string slip off one of the hoses on the right side, and the hose falling into the tank. It was the last hose I had to hook up too.

Meaning I had to pull the stock fuel pump back out.

Ditto. Also, good luck not getting gasoline in those cuts and feeling that through the whole process

I barely had a gallon in my tank during the install and I still got fuel all in my cuts

Rangerz · 08-02-2014, 01:12 PM

Ok what is the trick here. Trying to connect the lines to the fuel pump... i have had he pump in and out about 5 times trying to get things lined up better but, no joy! I know it can be done because you guys got it but i dont know how the hell you can get the #2 line to bend and put on the barb.

Here is where im stuck. Anybody got some advise?

phunk · 08-02-2014, 08:16 PM

"Fortunately" it was the driver side chip that broke because you don't have to buy a full fuel pump module, the driver side one is : SENDER UNIT-FUEL GAUGE - 370Z (Z34) 2009+ :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

Not "cheap" but not expensive

How did that happen?!

I didn't see any release tabs, screws etc.. to release it so was prying it up to see how it was attached with a small watchmakers screwdriver. Pried to hard apparently. Found a replacement for it on ebay so no worries.

It is just a press fit right?

phunk · 08-02-2014, 08:17 PM

I just texted a customer who has a totaled Z to see if he has that part available

Rangerz · 08-02-2014, 08:27 PM

So finally got the hoses on and the pump all reinstalled. Found a replacment level sensor on ebay for 55 bucks, it should be here Tues. Started routing the wiring and found a post from Rusty on the cicuit breaker location. Where are you guys mounting the relay and what are you using for chassis ground? Oh and if you find your o ring has swelled throw it in the fridge for about 30 min, fit perfect.

Circit breaker location

phunk · 08-02-2014, 09:25 PM

No it's not a press fit... There is a little finger tab on the right side of the sensor. I can't see it in your photo so it might be broken off of yours. You push the tab in and slide the sensor up. When installing, the sensor slides down and snaps in with the tab

I'll be more careful when I get the replacement.

You mean I had a defective level sensor tab all along

Nissan will be hearing from me ASAP

I know it had nothing to do with the mechanic
