Hi guys,

ok so on the weekend I installed a Nismo FPR on my r32. I have attached an image of how I installed it. I already had a fuel pressure gauge installed so I know what the old regulator was doing.

So anyway I turned the key on to prime the pump and it goes up to 50psi. I then start the car and it goes down to 40psi and sits there at idle.

Now here is the issue. With the standard reg when I accelerate the pressure increases as the manifold pressure does but with the nismo reg as soon as I tap the peddle pressure goes straight up to 60psi and holds there for a second or 2 then goes back to 40psi at idle. It's not linear like before. I've played with the adjustment screw but that's only for the initial pressure setting.

I took it for a drive and its fine but as soon I accelerate to goes to 60psi and when I WOT it trails from 60psi to 58, 57, 56.

So is this normal? I thought that because it has a vac line it would be linear?

Any ideas guys?

hey no problems

rb20det

rb25 s2 turbo 14psi

HKS CAM Gears

Full 3" kakimoto

profec b spec 2

Apexi POD

GTR Injectors going in this week

PFC going in this week

greddy m spec intercooled

so basically im setting it up for 190 - 200kw atw but very strong through the rev range

last dyno result with the follow mods

If you are only after 200rwkw, then the stock injectors will be fine with the stock reg. It sounds like the pressure is set a bit high, and the pump is on its last legs.

i hit 85% injector duty cycle on the dyno so i thought why not give them some overhead.

like i said i want a strong 200kw. the pump is only 10 months old so i hope its not that

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
