Hey all,

Just wondering if someone out there could give me a bit of guidance on what to look for when it comes to replacing fuel lines and how to tell if they need replacing apart from the obvious like cracks, old looking etc ive noticed that most of the fuel lines in the engine bay are covered with black sleeves.

Is there any other lines that i should check for deterioration that possibly mite need replacing apart from the engine bay? How hard would they be to replace?

And info would be great.

Thanks in advance :(

Its not hard to change at all, just make sure you get all new hose clamps and EFI fuel hose and not carby fuel hose. Also i think it's 8mm some one correct me if iam wrong.

Also when you change them put the black sleeves back on as well.

hope this helps

IF the fuel hose is hard, it can't hurt to replace it.

I had trouble getting my fuel filter off (without spilling blood - precious blood). The lines were hardened onto the filter nipple. I've got a new tool now that could probably do it, but I just slit the line with a knife, and replaced it.

It's so nice having a new line. It's just so luscious and soft, and it slips over the fuel filter so easily. Makes changing a breeze.

If the lines dont' look too bad, i'd leave them. I'd change them if they are affecting what you need to do e.g. the lines to the fuel fitler.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
