Hi all I have a sr18 Primera 92 model that won't start and I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump but I can't find it. Could it be in the boot or under the back seat! Any advice on fuel pumps would be good thanks

probably inside the fueltank like they all are on petrol injected cars 95 onwards. Supersheep auto be where to buy a new pump from . running out of petrol will nuke some of these pumps real fast

to find if its the fuel pump just take off the fuel hose which goes to the inlet side of the fuel rail (from the filter) and put it in an old coke bottle. turn key on and it should flow for a couple seconds then turn off. That will tell you if the pump is flowing. It should come out with quite a stream.

try BNT before Supercheap or Repco. it'd pay to replace Fuel Filter too if you replacing fuel pump. Google up fuel pump location for your specific model. most are under rear seat. google to a manual to find out specific instruction on depressurising fuel line before commencing the change.

put it this way man, i looked in the latest nz performance car mag, it had an ad for walbro performance fuel pumps for $150 new so i wouldn't piss around going 2nd hand. being stuck on side of road with buggered out 2nd hand fuel pump to save a few measely dollars aint worth the hassle. most wreckers charge a bomb.
primera fuel pump access, pull rear seat out, small tin panel under seat with 3 bolts, remove panel, diconnect plugs and twist the big plastic nut. maybe tight. i had many issues with my old primera. i got soo good at it, i could replace the fuel pump in 5mins, that included removing the seat.

400 is absurd. Their mark up must be like 320 buck lol
