I don't want to turn this into a debate. Just doing this to make it neater and have the ability to mount an aftermarket regulator in the factory position.

did you ever look at something like this?

then get the right male/male fitting

Sure have and I'm already running one. The issue is that these size the hole down to less than 6mm. I want -6 all the way (8mm)

-6 JIC on each end just works really well, while keeping the factory look and making it even neater.

Who cares. if upgrading size of fuel line get a aftermarket rail. they are cheap.

I actually wanted to know for replating purposes. I am restoring a GTR and I want everything as it was originally. The only NOS rails I see available are for R34’s, and the plating seems different every time I get one. Some are blueish, some are silver/gold, other very gold. Cadmium was used extensively when the skyline was being produced. I’d like to know the real plating was

I'm making 500awkw on e85 with a stock fuel rail and even egts. Don't over think it.

so you don't need -10 fuel lines with twin dual entry rails for 400awkw on E85 then? ?

Getting someone to cad plate might be a bit difficult! Last time I had need of that, probably 25~30 years ago, the plater lost half the fasteners in the tub and it was a heavy metal nighmare even then. He's long since dead and out of business, expect aviation use might be the last holdout - if you can find someone who does that as a sideline - if it simply must be cad.

Gold passivated zinc plating is what I would have expected even back in the 80s on jap cars though.

I run -6 lines for my e85 setup with 2x walbro 450L pumps, and billet tank lid. Around 600whp. Some say too small, but meh, no problems yet.

I’m still trying to determine what the original plating is. The new rails I get all appear to be R34 rails, and the plating on each one is different than the next. Blue, purple, silver, faint gold, but no yellow zinc. I have no idea what the r32-r33 rail looked like originally because I can’t find a NOS one, or a one that is not corroded. Cadmium platers are not that hard to find in the US.

    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
