Testing Fuel Pressure

hey guys, i am suspecting a block posibly of my return line for my fuel and hence high pressure. i have nismo 555cc injectors and a stock FPR and a GTR pump in my R33 GTST. running power fc with 66.5% correction and 0.18ms lag correction. on idle my car is running at like 9 afr!!! you can just smell the fuel for days but then when she is driving it all seems to be fine, but still a little too rich for my liking...

is there a way of checking the fuel pressure short of buying a guage? or at least checking if the return line has a small blockage and hence increasing the pressure?

sorry but there isnt! unless you know someone with one, there is no other way to get a reading.

Blocked return line would normally cause a ramped effect with the AFR's since at idle the std earthing reduces the voltage at the pump to slow down flow - so it would get worse as it revs up.

ok so i have blown out the lines with an air gun. the send line seemed to be clear but a whole lotta gunk came out of the return line, may have been caught in the check valve. went to my mechanic to test the fuel pressur and on idle it sits at 2 bar (32psi) is this correct? when it goes on the dyno soon i'll check it right up to 7000rpm...

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
