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. :)

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

I'm guessing with the NISMO one you can't install a pressure gauge and a warning light/device?

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

turning key to accessory wont give you anything sadly. turning the key to on will prime the pump, but only for around 2 seconds and i think only once every 5 min or so. (ie you can't keep doing it over and over).

on the controller you press both the up and down button at the same time and it gives you what they call 'differential pressure' which is fuel pressure - manifold pressure (either positive or negative pressure). This gives you the same effect as removing the vac line from the reg to set the base pressure. but you need the defi boost gauge installed too to use that feature (which I do anyway).

marco, the nismo reg does not have a gauge port sadly. so to install a guage you will need to cut the fuel line and install a T-piece and a gauge off that.

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.

Cheers Birnie for the help, nice pics you posted too. Should be very helpful when i buy the pump!

Beer Baron is that a feature with the DEFI II controller or the earlier one too knowing that I might be tempted to go sard anyway.

Wasnt aware they did differential as well!! Thats damn cool really am running a defi boost too only I have the early controller.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
