Hi guys,

ok so on the weekend I installed a Nismo FPR on my r32. I have attached an image of how I installed it. I already had a fuel pressure gauge installed so I know what the old regulator was doing.

So anyway I turned the key on to prime the pump and it goes up to 50psi. I then start the car and it goes down to 40psi and sits there at idle.

Now here is the issue. With the standard reg when I accelerate the pressure increases as the manifold pressure does but with the nismo reg as soon as I tap the peddle pressure goes straight up to 60psi and holds there for a second or 2 then goes back to 40psi at idle. It's not linear like before. I've played with the adjustment screw but that's only for the initial pressure setting.

I took it for a drive and its fine but as soon I accelerate to goes to 60psi and when I WOT it trails from 60psi to 58, 57, 56.

So is this normal? I thought that because it has a vac line it would be linear?

Any ideas guys?

so basically im setting it up for 190 - 200kw atw but very strong through the rev range

last dyno result with the follow mods

If you are only after 200rwkw, then the stock injectors will be fine with the stock reg. It sounds like the pressure is set a bit high, and the pump is on its last legs.

i hit 85% injector duty cycle on the dyno so i thought why not give them some overhead.

like i said i want a strong 200kw. the pump is only 10 months old so i hope its not that

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
