Hi m8

Free bump,

I have just started looking at this myself as I am paranoid about fuel pressure dropping and blowing my engine.

Have you got an electronic gauge yet? if so what have you gone for?

I am also trying to egt some answers on the forum in the U.K so if I find anything out will let you know.

I've put one of these in a 32gtr, just put the sender into the fuel line where it heads into the fuel rail, run the wiring to the cabin, source ignition, headlights and earth...done!

I had trouble with interfearance from the other gauges that I ran ina little loom (5 other gauges) so run the wires on their own

Ive got an autometer electronic one, rocket part number AU3363.

Cool thanks for that mate. Just to clarify, you put the sender in with a T-piece obviously before the rail, but where abouts exactly?

Is there any real risk regarding loss in pressure as said?

put the sender in anywhere between the fuel filter and the rail. I used a T-piece - double ended barbed fitting which had a thread for the sender (can't remeber what thread it is).

The interference was from the other wires that I ran with the fuel sender wire, the fuel flow itself was fine

The return line is low pressure, just dumps back into the tank.

The fuel reg is at the end of your rail, not the start of the rail, think of it as holding the pressure up in the line before it. Like holding your finger over the end of a garden hose to hold the pressure at a set level in the hose..

Yeah you can get them on Ebay, although I got mine from Just Jap. They're pretty cheap but I've used them in the past with no problems. This one is giving me the shits though, the low pressure warning keeps sounding as I drive. Time to check the wiring...

Something with proven accuracy not just pretty looks. You might want to investigate your claims that autometer is "good shit" just because a company is big doesn't make it good. Although I don't want to turn this into a debate about gauge brands.

I was thinking something like Earls, however most brands only have a 15 or 30psi gauge designed for carby setups.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
