Nissan Stagea Walbro Pump upgrade
As usual it was shipped to my and arrived in less than 24 hours !
I've just fitted the fuel pump, no problems, dead easy actually.
Lift up and remove centre load floor area covers.
Remove right hand floor cover, there are two M6 nuts and one M6 bolt below the lashing eye.

Clean any dirt or dust from the top of the tank unit to prevent it falling in the tank.
Start engine and run until it stops to de-pressurise fuel lines.
Mark and note orientation of fuel lines, remove. Have rags ready to catch fuel spillage.
Unscrew large plastic locking ring, it's tight, I use a piece of wood and knock ring round with hammer until loose then unscrew remainder by hand. Beware of sharp edges on metal floor panel.
Carefully lift tank unit slightly use caution to avoid damaging the gauge sender unit.
Disconnect wiring multi plug beneath sender, note two fuel pipes orientation and disconnect. Lift out tank unit. Pic4

The fuel pump is located in a plastic housing in the bottom of the tank, the lid of the housing has three clips. Squeeze the clips located at the left,front right and rear right (looking down into the tank from the rear of the car) lift off the cover and put aside. Pics5,6 and 7

Remove the fuel pipe from the pump and disconnect the wiring multi plug, the fuel pump can now be completely removed.
Fit the sock supplied onto the new fuel pump and fit the clip to prevent it falling off the pump. Pic 9

Re-connect the original wiring multi plug to the new fuel pump. Re-fit the pipe to the pump, it has a curve in it, this must be orientated so that the pipe curves straight upwards or the wiring is pulled out of position and won't reach to re-connect to the underside of the tank unit.
Fit the pump into the housing in the bottom of the tank, the pump fits directly into the original mounting points and refit the cover ensuring that the clips snap into place correctly
Place the tank unit back into the top of the tank and re-connect the two fuel pipes in the correct orientation and pump wiring multi plug to the underside of the tank unit.
Refit the tank unit using the seal and locking ring, refit the fuel pipes in the correct orientation and tighten the clips.
Re-connect the pump and sender multi plugs but leave the cover loose.
Turn the ignition on and listen for the pump priming for a few seconds, turn the ignition off and on again two or three times to ensure the pump has primed properly, now start the engine and check for leaks on the top of the tank unit.
If all is well, stop the engine and refit the tank unit cover and floor covers. Test drive.
Tools required. 10mm socket and ratchet, Screwdrivers, Pliers, Hammer and piece of wood, Rags
Time required 60-90 minutes.
The clips,hose,wiring sleeve and mounting in the kit are not required.
