No you don't.

I just installed a Tomei pump which is nearly identical.

It's enough to push some serious power without a regulator, up to 300rwkws ?? i believe

If you wanna save a bit of cash,

1) don't get the regulator

2) get the Tomei kit, i don't know but, they look the same and are rated the same and i wouln't be suprised if they ARE the same with a different branding. Tomei is a good brand and i think $50 cheaper.

Yes, reasonably quiet, i can here it but only if the radio is off and standing still.

Check the DIY threads, there's one there with heaps of pics and some of mine showing the unit.

It is a DIRECT swap, slide one out, unclip 1 clip that goes on the new bracket and slide the newie back in.

Easy.

i just fitted the tomei pump to cats car and it pulled 330rwkw no dramas, i love the check valve setup so it primes instantly

With the nismo reg do you just install and go or do you have to set it up to specific pressure you are after

About to install pump and reg + new injectors but unsure if I can chuck it all together myself set correct settings in pfc and go or do I need to get it all installed by tuner. Plan to get it on the dyno again anyway but would rather install parts and just pay for tune rather than time to install as well as tune

If that makes sence

NO. you need to set your fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge. do not just bolt on an adjustable reg and hope for the best. could be a recipe for disaster. :P

yes! That is the only reason I bought a sard reg over the nismo one. I wanted to have a fuel pressure gauge tucked away with a warning light. a fuel pump has died on me once before, and I'm paranoid about it now (and fuel surge too). the beauty of my sard reg is the defi sensor just plugs into the side, and when setting it up I can hit a switch on the defi controller which eliminates boost/vacum from the reading so I can accurately see the base pressure withiout having to unplug the vac line etc. :banana:

but yes, you can t one in, just a bit of mucking around.

The R34 should be no different to the R33, if so it will be so marginal you won't care.

Just read the R33 thread.

The pics speak for themselves.

Price on Tomei pump (Someone asked) was $340 deilvered from nengun and i suspect it's now cheaper as the dollar has gone higher.

Good luck peeps.

Nice choice of hardware :D

Interested in which button you press on the controller and its effect? Shouldn't turning key to "accessory's" give you a base pressure

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
