i remember on my r32 i cleaned it out once, but it was not part of the rail...on the r33 i am not sure. installing one though, just remove the old one and put in the new, if it is electronic then i wouldnt try it, i would be replacing all the efi full line while i did it too, to make sure that nothing happens. as for placement, dont make it too far away, prob on the firewall. to tune it you will need a dyno prob, or trial and error. The original fuel reg is located inbetween the plenum and the tapper cover i think.

you need to know what pressure to run the adj fpr.

that means find out what pressure d stocko runs.From there u might want to run the adj item at the same if it hasnt been causeing probs.then run it down to your tuner.it will help to have a fuel pressure gauge to read pressure.

does any 1 know how much of an adverse affect bumping up the rail pressure will have to afr's?

Er.. what brand?

With the Nismo, undo two bolts, undo the hose.. fit the new one in it's place, tighten. Done!

The base rate needs to be set however, and mine was 10psi off. I took it easy for a week though.

I doubt the lines will burst if you up the fuel pressure, as long as they're not really really old.

if you dont get a reg that bolts into the end of the rail like a malpassi, sard, etc. u will need to make up an adaptor to replace the old reg: like in this pic of mine post-24129-1147594191.jpg

then if u have a malpassi (like mine) u run the the fuel line fom the adaptor into the side of the reg. then the line goes from the bottom of the reg back to the fuel tank. post-24129-1147594379.jpg

the fuel line that does not have the fuel filter on it is the return line to the tank.

standard fuel pressure is 38psi on idle..

hope thats what u were after.

for some reasons the picks aint workin"???

hey guys, installed a sard FPR myself on the weekend but havnt been able to find anywhere with a cheapy fuel pressure gauge that i can tap into the fuel line with, adjust the FPR to 38psi, and be happy :\.

Anyone know where i can get a gauge??? I dont want a wanky in-car gauge or anthing, just something that can sit in the engine bay somewhere.

nah u dont leave the stock one there.

look in the first pick i put up.. i got a dodgy second hand reg from a wreckers for like $20 and cut the top of it off then welded a small pipe on the top of the plate to connect the fuel line too...

if you keep the stadard fuel reg on it will hold the same pressure and all the aftermaket reg will do is raise the pressure in the fuel line back to the standard reg... so it makes it pointless....

my malpassi didnt come with a guage either so i just bought a $25 one from auto barn which screws straight into the side of the reg.

do you need one on stock injectors?

I am about to install R32 GTR injectors on my R32 and I have the GTR fuel rail and regulator (not sure if it is different than the stock RB20 regulator but I guess so)...

Ahh no it doesn't. If the second reg has more base pressure than the first reg it will force the diaphram up a little so that the total rail pressure is equal to the higher pressure regulator. So if you leave you standard FPR on which has a base pressure of about 38 psi with no vacumm and you put you shitty malpassi on after the standard FPR and raise the pressure to 50psi the total rail pressure is 50 psi. The trick is to leave the standard reg on as it has a metal diaphram and does a good job of controlling pressure unlike the malpassi. THe standard reg will also maintain rail pressure after the car has stopped whereas the malpassi will bleed off.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
