Just had it pointed out to me that my sard reg probably isn't E85 safe. Anyone had one fail? I can only assume that if a lot of you are using a stock RB reg, that an aftermarket one would have a good chance of withstanding problems from E85..

I put the Sard FPR in. I was a bit worried about it at the time hence why i started this thread. Tbh, I wouldn't worry about it too much, It'll be fine.

Like I said, I've had it running straight E85 for a year, no problem.

Had mine for 12months.. Over 10k in kms

Running both 98 and ethenol, no problems

Has been sitting with ethenol in it for quite some time now.. If its stuffed when I start it next month I'll know why

Regs don't flow 'Power', they bypass fuel to hold a certain pressure.

If you can run your desired base fuel pressure with the injectors off and pump running, then the reg has enough flow. Stick a larger pump in, and it might not be large enough...

Sorry don't understand that answer. Bought a Tomei Type L hopefully it's sufficient but still interested in a simpler version of you answer if possible

If your fuel pressure spikes too high you need a larger regulator, it is not dependent on the power your making.

Kind of like the size of a wastegate on a turbo. The more boost your running the smaller the wastegate can be as it is bypassing less air from the turbo to maintain that boost pressure.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
