hey gents I pulled my fuel pump outta my r32 gtr and I noticed that the oem pump does not have a check valve on the outlet of the pump as most pictures on google have. theres a diagphrag looking unit on the body of the pump. Is there any reason mine would be missing? is it a check valve for sure? it seems the oem bnr32 pump has 2 diaphragm looking objects on the pump on on the body of the pump and one on the outlet attached with a couple inches of hose on the way upto the sender body and out to the front of the car towards the fuel rail. what are the 2 diaphragm looking units and most especially is the one on the outlet very important? mind you my car has been running for years with no issues, no problems with hards starting what so ever. seems the pump has been removed in japan before ( I can tell because the level sender retaining ring has damage on it). could it of been upgraded before and maybe the guy returned it back to stock and forgot this check valve maybe?

You mean the small round can that the line runs through on the fuel pump assembly?

If so its a fuel pulse damnper, its absorbs fuel pump and injector pulses from the fuel, think of it as taking out harmonic pressure spikes and smoothing out the line pressure.

It sort of like those anti hammer devices you can fit to your home plumbing to stop the pipes banging.

Ive read many of the better after market fuel pressure regs have this characteristic built into them.

To find out if you need it, fit a fuel pressure gauge on the line and check to see if the pressure is bouncing by a few PSI......

Most commonly needed OEM on batch fire injectors and large Qty of injectors on 1 rail where you can get the pressure oscillating.

Edit, i might add, i didnt know what they were used for till a few weeks ago when trying to work out my fuel system for our car.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
