Hi,

After search through 34pages, I still was answerless so here I go.

I’m about to upgrade to nismo 740cc injectors, and I was wondering if there is any point to upgrade my fuel rail from a stock to Greddy.

Are there any advantages to having an aftermarket fuel rail? It seems to be a cheap upgrade only $300.

I have an S1 R33 GTST RB25DET

Cheers Michael :D

p.s i believe the Greddy fuel-rail doesn't change the injectors from side-feed to top-mount.

my 2 cents and a bit, which has been tested by flow testing a fuel rail, says that there is a lack of (air) pressure towards the return end of the rail which will cause a leaner air/fuel mixtures towards the return end cylinders.

the best way to solve this is get a twin feed fuel rail with a single return which more evenly distributes fuel to all cylinders. these can be found (cough cough, see sig) a lot cheaper than those you have mentioed which still retain a single return line (poor flow). very ricer like r31nismoid, does nothing but add looks.

once you have the rail, all you need is a brass y-piece and some fuel line and they bolt straght into the standard position. one thing to make sure is to keep the length of each supply line the same length from the y-peice to the rail as the length of fuel line also dictates amount of pressure available to each end. this i haven't tested but was told to me by at least a couple of pro-dragsters that have chased lean mixtures back to something so simple like fuel hose length.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
