I tried to search and couldn't find any previous thread. Sorry in advance if this has been talked about before.

I'm in the process of replacing hoses on my R33 GTS25-T and came across the hose that runs to the fuel flow regulator(pretty sure that what it is??). The little thing above the fuel filter. It looks to have restrictors(yellow band on the hose). Do I need to replace this for a hose with restrictors? Will replacing with a hose with no restrictors have any positive on negative effects?

Couldn't work out how to attach photos sorry.

I really doubt there's a restrictor. Most likely it's just marked so you orient the hose if there's something special about it like sheathing positioned in a specific area to avoid rubbing a hole into it. Or they don't want you to mix up which hose goes where. The one with the filter goes to the fuel rail, then the regulator. Then on the way back it goes through the damper. If there was a restrictor on the damper line it would artificially raise fuel pressure and reduce the ability of the FPR to actually regulate pressure.

If I had to guess, he is calling the fuel pulse damper a restrictor? 

Also I don't think you can post photos till you've got 10 posts under your belt. 

Yeah, that's what he's referring to as far as I can tell. His profile picture shows what he's talking about. Two fuel hoses at the front of the manifold but it's terribly zoomed in.

I think you guys are right. The only reason I thought it was a restrictor was I had seen the same yellow band on the r32 boost restrictor.

Will just replace with a standard fuel hose.

Thank you for your speedy replies. I'm sure I'll have many other silly questions.

Are you going to delete the stock damper or are you just replacing the fuel lines and keeping the stock damper? 

There are also options for sexy ones if the stock one is too ugly for you lol -

So sexy. 

Only reason I started replacing hoses was I went for a short drive to the shop the other day and finished shopping and started the car and started to drive off and could see a big trail of fuel in the rear view mirror.

Parked up and found the bottom hose to the fuel filter had busted. Lucky I was near a car part store and was able to get a replacement hose and back on the road.

But got me thinking I had owned that car for around 20 years and was all original fuel hoses so probably time to replace all of the fuel hoses.

Was pretty lucky it went where it did.

    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au  
    • Does have series 2 airbag steering wheel and passenger side airbag also.
    • Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5
    • I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
