Hey forum just need a question answered by people who are more experienced than me. Can fuel pressure be raised with an adjustable fpr if you maintain the stock fpr but have it blocked off from the vaccumm/boost line? Do you have to get the fuel rail adapter in order to raise fuel pressure with the adjustable fpr or just tee the stock boost/vaccumm line to the boost/ vaccumm line of the adjustable fpr? So in short the stock fpr is still attached to the fuel rail just that the boost/vaccumm line has been removed and the port for it blocked while an adjustable has been placed on the fuel rail using the vaccumm/boost line that the stock fpr used will pressure be increased if adjusted by the fpr or does the vaccumm line have to be tied into the stock regulator. Thanks in advance for all help. What am thinking is that since the stock regulator is still on the fuel rail that stock pressure will be maintained no matter what but with the adjustable attached you can raise the pressure as desired but cannot lower it from stock because of the stock regulator. Am I right for thinking this?

oh man, paragraphs man, paragraphs. can you edit it just a touch?
Try again mate

Lol. Ok my bad in short I want to know if you have an adjustable fpr installed and maintain the stock fpr do you have to tee the stock fpr in, in order to raise pressure or just block it off somehow? Also does this mean that the fuel pressure cannot be adjusted below stock with the adjustable fpr since the stock regulator is still attached to the fuel rail?

you just answered your own question.

if you are still running the stock fpr then its standard setting is the lowest pressure you can possibly achieve.

but my question to you is if you were to install a aftermarket fpr it would only be to raise fuel pressure.

so why would you be worried about lowering the fuel pressure below standard?

the money you spend on a new aftermarket fpr you should spend on a 044 intank and just run the standard fpr up to around 400rwkws.

yess YOU CAN keep the stok one in line with the adjustable one.

The stock FPR does a good job at keeping the fuel pressure from fluctuating as it is damped, don't ask me how but it is.

The way to connect the FPR is, fuel in -> fuel rail -> stock reg -> fuel out -> adjustable reg -> fuel to return.

You NEED to run a vac line to all the regulators, otherwise at idle the stock reg, if vacume diconnected will run ritch as it will not see any vacumme, and at high rpm, the adjustable fuel reg will have to work harder as the stock one will not see any boost.

Then simply set the adjujstable fuel reg, obviously can't go below stock reg pressure. Seing as we are dealing with pressures and the overall fuel pressure will be set by the fuel reg with the highest preset pressure, in our case the adjujstable reg.

Hope that helps.

Had a customer car come in that had an after market reg fitted with the stock one still in place. the stock reg failed and closed, causing an injector o ring to get squeezed out which caused a massive internal fuel leak that hydraulic locked the engine. so remove the standard reg with a saard adapter for $30. Most tuners prefer them removed also.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
