I think i found my problem!

hi in regards to your fuel pump

in australia the most common thing to do is replace the pump with a vl commodore pump

our commodore came out with the 3.0 ltr nissan motor in it around 1987

this works well out here

thanks

I had a similar problem. In my case the pump simply wasnt primed properly.

So how would i go about fixing this, if it is in fact my problem?

Well in my case I disconnected the return and blew air into the line until it built up sufficent pressure to force the fuel into the pump. I tried not to get any fuel in my mouth but that didnt work too well.

Yes, before you ask, I am quite insane. And proud of it.

It's not the fumes that kill you. Oh... wait a minute..... it is.

Seriously though, make sure the main fuel line and return are not kinked. There is a vent hose as well that you should check.
