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

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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
