Hi all,

So i was 'exploring' my R33 the other day inve stigating  the previous owners handiwork.  And i came across  this. ( see pics) are these both fuel pressure regulators?  If so why are they both on the same line into the fuel rail.

Any information would be awesome thanks

Your second picture is a Fuel Dampener, it's there to restrict "pulsing" and irregularities in fuel flow. It would be on the return, likely after your FPR.

If nothing is leaking and your pressure is good, you have no problems.

The dampener has to be in the pressure side  of the fuel supply otherwise it is pointless , it is either before or after the rail, definitely before the regulator.

Its actually on the return side after the rail and fpr on an r33. I removed mine to fit a flex sensor in its spot. It probably was pointless of Nissan putting it there as i didn't notice any adverse effects after binning it.

Well that’s mental.  Hp academy did a video recently of fuel dampers.  

 

On the return makes no sense

Fire off an email to Mr Nissan and let him know of your disgust at this rookie mistake.

Luckily he sorted it out in another amateur move and put 2 on neo engines, one before and after the reg.

I really am cloning your build aren't I man... This is exactly what I wanted to do, but was scared of any adverse reaction to the car by binning! Now my sensor sits at the top of the strut just hanging out LOL.

Going to remove my dampener and place here, wish me luck :P

Theres even a bolt hole there half way up the strut tower you can use to mount the sensor. Win win.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
