Hi all,

I am thinking changing my stock fuel regulator as it is "stuff". Been finding a 2nd hand stock one for sometime and no luck. Sick and tire of that, decided to buy a new one. Done some search and I am freaked out about the diffenent types. Rising rate 1:1, 1:7.......blah .......blah. The Nismo one seems all right but there is no specs on them. Not sure its a rising rate type but it seems to be easy in installation and quite cheap.

Anyway, before I buy any of that, I would like to know more about the difference between the stock and after market fuel regulator. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers!

Hey there,

A rising rate fuel reg ads more fuel pressure per pound of boost, i.e 1:1 adds 1psi of fuel pressure in the rail per psi of boost.

Say you have 45psi fuel rail pressure as a base setting, at 15psi boost the rising rate reg adds another 15psi of pressure to the fuel rail so you have 60psi in the rail.......this allows more fuel to be injected per injector pulse and therefore run less risk of leaning out.

As a side note i hear they can be a bastard to tune with as the motor keeps getting more and more fuel and can run rich,

i'm not sure on that as i'm not a tuner.

Regards Andrew :(

Why would you search for a second hand (standard) fuel reg, but be prepared to buy a new afterrmarket one?

That doesnt make a lot of sense.

Ring Nissan, and use the stock reg. There is nothing wrong with it. I ran over 350rwkw on the stock one

second that. I have no issue with the stock one up to 270/280.

The stock reg is 1:1 so is nismo, sard, and SX. The stock reg has a steel diaphram unlike any aftermarket reg that I know of so it should be the most stable. And yes tuning for 1.7:1 or 6:1 or 12:1 rising rate regs is shit. If you like the fancy shit and want a to put a nismo or sard sticker on your car then I would recommend these two otherwise use the stock item.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
