Fuel Filter

[TJR32GTS-T]

Hey guys just wondering if someone can give me some diy intructions on how to change a fuel filter on a rb20 including location of fuel filter.

Cheers in advance - trent

Get a replacement or better after market fuel filter

Locate fuel filter (I don't have an R32, but I think it is in the back under the trunk?)

Unplug fuel pump fuse

Start car, let die

Try to start car again to be sure there is no left over pressure in fuel line

Pull out old fuel filter

Enjoy getting high from fuel

Put in new fuel filter

Return fuel pump fuse

Start car, let idle

Done

the fuel filter is located near the front right strut tower

around near the intake manifold

You guys are legends

Cheers fellas - trent

your hoses will be ridiculously hard to get off as well, try put boiling water on them to soften a little.

i ended up cutting mine, so maybe have a metre of new fuel hose handy

Nevermind found a diagram,

Thanks for the heads up shibby

They are tough bastards

Sorry to dig up this old thread but didn't think it worthwhile starting a new one with the same topic.

Would someone be able to tell what size fuel hose to buy, I'm about to change my filter and want some spare fuel line on hand in case the original stuff is damaged when I remove the old one, probaly a good idea to have a couple of new clamps too.

Regards

Mike.

Got the filter from Nissan Coopers Plains for $33 though they tried to charge me $39 apparently the price changes from when you ring for availability to when drive there to get it.

Also the Repco man tried to talk me into $28 per meter high pressure line, though I walked out with the standard 5/16th, stuff for $6.

but you do need the high pressure EFI fuel line dont you???

I know thats what I use...

To be honest I don't know, but the line I had to cut off looked to be original and of the same spec as the cheaper line I bought. Would be good if someone in the know can confirm.

Id get EFI line. Peace of mind is better then saving a few dollars

Very true, I did a little research on the line I bought and it seems to have a working pressure of 50 psi, might try and source some 150 psi stuff. I don't want to start any fires in my engine bay, or anywhere else for that matter.

That line you got is used mainly for carby engines, it can blow out/split if used on EFI applications. Also, you can use a z200 fuel filter, its alot cheaper than the one earlier posts have gotten

[boostn0199]

Ye you need hi pressure. Go bursobs its like 12 bux a metre there or speed pro in dandenong.

[Missileman]

I'll give Bursons a call tomorrow.

it would only take 8psi of positive boost pressure to reach the rated limit of carby hose (assuming base pressure is 42psi)
