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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
