you really dont need a reg unless you run into other tuning issues.

dont get a malpassi, they work grate but after a month or so they start making a horible noise every time you prime the pump. ive seen this happe quite a few times.

turbo smart ones are ment to be grate and are resomly priced.

Sard ones work well but i know of one person having problems with his.

i getting all the bolt on mods i can get befor i have to rebuild my engine ..

Welcome to category 4:

The only reason to "upgrade" the factory FPR is really in three instances:

1. When your injectors are starting to max out, but you don't want to upgrade them, so you bump up the rail pressure with the aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure regulator to push them a little but furthur. Obviously this isn't ideal and most people don't recommend it. Just buy the correct injectors to start with.

2. When you are running huge amounts of boost and the factory fuel pressure regulator can not keep up the 1:1 fuel pressure ratio. Therefore you will need an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator that can handle this high amount of boost pressure and keep up the 1:1 ratio.

3. The factory fuel pressure regulator has failed so you may choose to buy an aftermarket one however still run it at factory fuel pressure.

So as you can see, not many people fall into the second category because a lot of people don't run 2+bar of boost through their car. A few do fall into the first category because they may be on a budget and don't want to upgrade the stock injectors so they choose to bump the rail pressure up instead and obviously a few will fall into the third category.

However there is a fourth category that you will find 90% of people with aftermarket fuel pressure regulators fall into:

4. They have no idea what an adjustable fuel pressure regulator does, but they got told to buy one by a mate or read about one somewhere.

For your situation assuming that you are not running E85, your 700cc injectors should be fine for between 400-500HP therefore you do not need an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator.

    • Hi SAU family, having issues with my R34GTT which is slightly modified and tuned to e85. so scenario is, I’m driving the car to work (30km oneway) and then coming back in the arvo. Car starts and runs fine in the morning and on the way back home (in the arvo). I stop the car when i gets home and after 10-15 mins, it wont start. Battery is fine, fuel pump seems to be working. All i hear is engine clicks but wont start.  Last time, i disconnected the battery terminals and re connected them. Check fuses. Didnt start at that time but started after an hour (so I say when its cool down). Mechanic cant find the issue as its running now and nothing coming up in the diagnose. any advice,opinion or anyone gone through similar issue.   thanks 🙏🏻
    • 9" +35 will rub on the suspension. R33 GTR wheels are +30.
    • I know a guy with 18x9 +22 on the front of a 32 gtst, needed quite a lot of guard work, tyre stretch (215) and camber. Not sure what your current set up is, +35 won't be as much, but still a fair bit of guard work and camber.   
    • Well as expected the ECU wasn't getting proper manifold pressure reading.  Once I switched to a 3rd vacuum line directly off the back of the manifold the car runs amazing.  Still slightly lean on full throttle but only like 15 AFR, probably fixable with some tuning.
