i remember on my r32 i cleaned it out once, but it was not part of the rail...on the r33 i am not sure. installing one though, just remove the old one and put in the new, if it is electronic then i wouldnt try it, i would be replacing all the efi full line while i did it too, to make sure that nothing happens. as for placement, dont make it too far away, prob on the firewall. to tune it you will need a dyno prob, or trial and error. The original fuel reg is located inbetween the plenum and the tapper cover i think.

you need to know what pressure to run the adj fpr.

that means find out what pressure d stocko runs.From there u might want to run the adj item at the same if it hasnt been causeing probs.then run it down to your tuner.it will help to have a fuel pressure gauge to read pressure.

does any 1 know how much of an adverse affect bumping up the rail pressure will have to afr's?

Er.. what brand?

With the Nismo, undo two bolts, undo the hose.. fit the new one in it's place, tighten. Done!

The base rate needs to be set however, and mine was 10psi off. I took it easy for a week though.

I doubt the lines will burst if you up the fuel pressure, as long as they're not really really old.

if you dont get a reg that bolts into the end of the rail like a malpassi, sard, etc. u will need to make up an adaptor to replace the old reg: like in this pic of mine post-24129-1147594191.jpg

then if u have a malpassi (like mine) u run the the fuel line fom the adaptor into the side of the reg. then the line goes from the bottom of the reg back to the fuel tank. post-24129-1147594379.jpg

the fuel line that does not have the fuel filter on it is the return line to the tank.

standard fuel pressure is 38psi on idle..

hope thats what u were after.

for some reasons the picks aint workin"???

hey guys, installed a sard FPR myself on the weekend but havnt been able to find anywhere with a cheapy fuel pressure gauge that i can tap into the fuel line with, adjust the FPR to 38psi, and be happy :\.

Anyone know where i can get a gauge??? I dont want a wanky in-car gauge or anthing, just something that can sit in the engine bay somewhere.

nah u dont leave the stock one there.

look in the first pick i put up.. i got a dodgy second hand reg from a wreckers for like $20 and cut the top of it off then welded a small pipe on the top of the plate to connect the fuel line too...

if you keep the stadard fuel reg on it will hold the same pressure and all the aftermaket reg will do is raise the pressure in the fuel line back to the standard reg... so it makes it pointless....

my malpassi didnt come with a guage either so i just bought a $25 one from auto barn which screws straight into the side of the reg.

do you need one on stock injectors?

I am about to install R32 GTR injectors on my R32 and I have the GTR fuel rail and regulator (not sure if it is different than the stock RB20 regulator but I guess so)...

Ahh no it doesn't. If the second reg has more base pressure than the first reg it will force the diaphram up a little so that the total rail pressure is equal to the higher pressure regulator. So if you leave you standard FPR on which has a base pressure of about 38 psi with no vacumm and you put you shitty malpassi on after the standard FPR and raise the pressure to 50psi the total rail pressure is 50 psi. The trick is to leave the standard reg on as it has a metal diaphram and does a good job of controlling pressure unlike the malpassi. THe standard reg will also maintain rail pressure after the car has stopped whereas the malpassi will bleed off.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
