I Just upgrade my in tank pump on my R33 GTR.. When I was doing it I noticed there is some kind of regulator in line inside the tank? Should I remove this regulator or is it fine to stay? I am currently running the standard external FPR if that makes any difference. That said I may need an upgrade!

Thank you

Lee

I see.. Someone else told me it was a pulse dampner? I thought that was more likely the bit on the OEM pump itself?

So in fact I could take the one way valve out of the Bosch pump if I leave this inline one there?? I presume that might give a little extra flow from the pump? Or is it not worth it?? I actually think the pump is not the issue now but preparing myself with all the options just incase!

Thank you for your answers

Why on earth would you open the fuel pump? The thing in the fuel tank looks identical to the unit on the return fuel line in the engine bay and if so, it is a dampner. My old skyline ran without one in the fuel tank and it ran just fine. Ive got one now because I'm using a GTR pump. Didn't make any difference. If its there, leave it there. The fuel pump will pump the fuel, your regulator will hold the pressure. Its a simple system. So long your lines aren't run dry every time you turn the car off, you'll be fine starting it up.

Not sure exactly what we're talking about, but isn't it a check valve that keeps fuel pressurized so the instant the engine is cranked there is fuel versus not having it and having to crank for abit longer?

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
