Quick question,

I've just got new injectors and fuel rail - the rail is red because it was cheaper and in stock, can someone tell me how visible the fuel rail is under the std inlet plenum?

Just trying to figure out if its worth me painting or not. Everything else in the engine bay is black (even intercooler pipes and joiners) so I don't want a easily visible red pipe sitting in the middle of my engine.

Cheers

Keep it red. Fuel is dangerous and flammable, firetrucks are red for a reason, and your fuel rail should be too. Surprised they're not that color from factory.

At first I agreed, but then realised fire trucks don't explode, now I'm really confused!

You couldn't just look at your engine and judge how visible it's gonna be?

It's definitely visible, and more so if the rest of your engine is black.

My engine is in pieces and has been for almost 3 years. If there was an engine to look at then obviously I would have looked....

And yes i have googled many times. If you google rb25det and rb25det fuel rail have a look at the thousands of pictures of cars WITH FORWARD FACING INTAKES or cars with std rails or simply the rail by itself.

The images don't help me at all - hence the post. No need for smart ass remarks, was a genuine question

Ill give it a scuff and coat of paint tonight, cheers

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
