Don't bother with the Holden pump. Get someone to custom make a bracket to get the Nissan pump mounted. Iv been down this path ;-)

you can pull the holden pump apart and stretch the springs internally and space it with a very small washer and it works heaps better. mine is fine but it sounds like you may have a different issue somewhere though.

shit hey wish i had of new at the comp andy (rag racing) is a wizz with the holden pumps. there easy to mod for more pressure and flow. but you have to get the new style pump vx onwards. have you checked pressure either side of the box?
