Fuel Pump Upgrades

Whats the difference between the 300zx TT fuel pump and the Walbro 530 pump thats availible for our cars. I'll probably be doing a swap down the road near the end of the year and I'll be having to put in a newer one anyways but I'll be driving with the stock injectors for awhile with a new fuel pump (I'm having hot starting problems and checked just about everything I could, and there isnt any pressure when I pinch the line before the fuel filter when cranking it, so I'm guessing its my fuel pump?) and I was wondering if that would do any harm on the injectors or anything of that matter. tried searching but no luck
What are the benefits of the 300zx TT pump over the Walbro 530?
If any of you have had any hot starting problems, I'd like to hear them, this is getting retarded

the 300zx fuel pump is very loud. the Zs varied the speed of the pump with the throttle, but our 240s don't have this feature, so it runs full blast all the time and whirrs very loudly.

they say that the walbro fuel pump is very quiet.

well, I really wouldnt mind the sound but, how loud is it, I mean, I already get enough road noise but in exchange for better performance I wouldnt care.

The Walbro is quiet as stock and darn cheap. The cost is the huge advantage to the Walbro, and it flows enough to support a buttload of horsepower. I think www.heavythrottle.com has them for ~$119.
