Default 04 DE Fuel pump?

So I heard there were two fuel pumps in the Z33. One under the "glovebox" behind the passenger seat, and one in-tank. I'm trying to order a new one online, and I only need the pump and strainer itself, not the whole plastic assembly (so I don't want to purchase from Autozone or O'Reilly's for $300+). I was wondering if anyone had a link to the pump itself, the one located under the glove box.

This is what I found, is this the right one? I don't wanna order the wrong thing lol.

To summarize, I'm trying to replace the pump inside the plastic assembly, underneath the glove box. Not the whole plastic assembly, nor the in-tank fuel pump. Thanks, guys.

Untrue. Check under the secret compartment in the glovebox behind the passenger seat. There's a fuel pump in there.

Thank you! I ordered a Walbro 255, but if it ends up not working for whatever reason I'll keep that in mind!

It's not a pump, only a sender. dboyzalter is correct. Check the service manual for confirmation.

Because you don't want to go ripping electric parts in and out of a fuel pump and stick it back into a tank full of explosive gasoline.

Anyone who says otherwise on this website is being irresponsible and is giving you terrible advice. Frankly, since you're new to this site and we have no idea if you're the litigious type, it's difficult to assess how you'd take bad advice, get injured, and then proceed to blame someone other than yourself in court.

The only sound advice you're going to get is to replace the non-functioning assembly as a complete unit. Don't try to mix-n-match spare parts to get a bad fuel pump assembly running again.

Anyway, there's a forum for questions like this one called Maintenance & Repair. You'll get lots of good advice there and people who answer tend to be the ones who've been members here for a while and know their way around 350Zs.
