R32 GTS-T -- Why use 2 fuel pressure regulators

Why is it Nissan have used 2 fuel pressure regulators on the R32 GTS-T (I'm unsure if they also did it on the R33)

One fuel pressure reg. is at the back of the fuel rail near the firewall. This one receives the fuel and passes it on to the injector rail.

The other is at the front of the fuel rail towards the front of the car that feeds the fuel to the return to tank fuel line.

Is there any reason or benefit from this setup or does it simple help hold fuel pressure in the rail and prevent the fuel pump from working as hard as often??

That's the first time I've ever heard or there being two. I'm not sure where you saw that but I have never seen it. I know that when you add and aftermarket one, you leave that standard one on as a backup device to prevent total loss in case of new reg failure.

I also noticed this when I put my new injectors in.

My back one wasn't even connected, the hose going to it was all split and stuffed, so I replaced it when I put the new injectors in

I wonder if thats why my car an so lean..........................

You'd think a decent mechanic would pic something like that up hey.

When I swapped the injectors, I found 4 vacuum hoses with leaks in them/or not connected

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      It cost me $2900 all up for a local trailer / towbar place to supply and install. I did think it was a bit steep initially but after all the work involved and seeing the final result I think its well justified.  Hardest part was finding someone willing to customize and fit it up with trial and error basically. Whereabouts are you located? - I had my work done locally in Wangara.

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
