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

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
