Get a replacement or better after market fuel filter

Locate fuel filter (I don't have an R32, but I think it is in the back under the trunk?)

Unplug fuel pump fuse

Start car, let die :O

Try to start car again to be sure there is no left over pressure in fuel line

Pull out old fuel filter

Enjoy getting high from fuel

Put in new fuel filter

Return fuel pump fuse

Start car, let idle :cool:

Done

Sorry to dig up this old thread but didn't think it worthwhile starting a new one with the same topic.

Would someone be able to tell what size fuel hose to buy, I'm about to change my filter and want some spare fuel line on hand in case the original stuff is damaged when I remove the old one, probaly a good idea to have a couple of new clamps too.

Regards

Mike.

Got the filter from Nissan Coopers Plains for $33 though they tried to charge me $39 apparently the price changes from when you ring for availability to when drive there to get it.

Also the Repco man tried to talk me into $28 per meter high pressure line, though I walked out with the standard 5/16th, stuff for $6.

but you do need the high pressure EFI fuel line dont you???

I know thats what I use...

To be honest I don't know, but the line I had to cut off looked to be original and of the same spec as the cheaper line I bought. Would be good if someone in the know can confirm.

Id get EFI line. Peace of mind is better then saving a few dollars

Very true, I did a little research on the line I bought and it seems to have a working pressure of 50 psi, might try and source some 150 psi stuff. I don't want to start any fires in my engine bay, or anywhere else for that matter.

That line you got is used mainly for carby engines, it can blow out/split if used on EFI applications. Also, you can use a z200 fuel filter, its alot cheaper than the one earlier posts have gotten

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
