Adjusting the fuel pressure away from the standard level means you'll have to retune, as you are effectively changing the flowrate of the injectors (a little). You don't mention you have a programmable ECU so set it to the stock level. But as Nismoid stated you dont need it so why not put the stocker back on and sell the adjustable. One less problem plus money :banana:

that seems to be a bit low. Mine sits at 3 bar all the time. I did before my tune had it resting at 24psi which i was told by the whole world was way too low. So i increased it and blew my spark plugs because increasing made it run too rich. I think you should keep the adjustable one as you modify later on for bigger power you can adjust it accuratley.

For now either you can chuck you old one back on or save up and go to a tuner and get it tuned to run at 3 bar fuel pressure. You cant just put the pressure up without tuning the engine to run at it.

umm... that is what a skyline does on the factory ECU - runs super rich...

I think you should keep the adjustable one as you modify later on for bigger power you can adjust it accuratley.

If you purchase the correct injector size for the application, the factory Fuel Reg is good for over 400rwkw.

I've made 370rwkw - and i can think of another 20-30 odd people who've made more than that with the factory fuel reg.

And then the 100's upon 1,000's who've made less and are still perfectly fine.

Fact still remains - you do not need one.

You set the pressure with the vacuum line removed to 3 bar or 43psi. When you reattach the vacuum line, it should dip down so that its 3 bar minus manifold vacuum. Mine sits around 2.65bar at 500mmHG with an aeromotive FPR and an RB26 @ 950rpm idle.

25-30kpa is around 4-5psi, i doubt the car would even run with that little pressure. as said 3 bar or 43psi is what it should be. if the stocker works put it back in, only reason to go aftermarket is if you break standard ones

So some extra pressure behind the injectors doesnt help spray patterns or fuel atomisation?????

Well you have to ask what the injectors are designed for.

If they are designed for the factory pressure, then no you don't.

I beleive bosch require extra pressure or some other brand, but then i wouldn't call them correctly suited as they are a generic style injector :)

I agree with what you are saying though - just not in this particular application of it.

im sorry i should have explaind wat i meant a lil better, at idle the fuel reg was on 30-32 psi, i have now adjusted it to 28-29 psi that is while it is idling!! but when i hit the acclerater it goes up to 45psi at bout 4000revs and no more stalling when i brake,

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
