What? Why would someone get rid of the return line?

First time I've seen that.

Did it run good when your mate bought it? Or only recently started running shit?

Take a photo of the engine for us to see what is going on.

That shows the car has a different fpr so don't expect it to look like stock setup.

I am really amazed how many people buy other people's problems. I suppose the lure of a bargain fast car sucks you in, but the reality is there is a great chance you will be chasing your tail trying to figure out what the previous owner was thinking. Hopefully it is going to be easy to get it running nice, but I don't think you are on the right track at the moment.

^ I'm more amazed at people giving up on simple fixes. What happened to swallowing your pride and getting a mech who knows the type engine to have a look.

Where do you live mate? Someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

I'm on my phone now but when I get home I will put up a diagram from Nissan Fast for you. NEO's have a fuel pressure regulator, and a fuel damper set up. My engine came with no damper which caused a bit of confusion for me at first.

But get some better pics if the engine and fuel rail and put them up.

That's assuming it is just a simple fix.

As mentioned before neo has a dampner along with the regulator.

The car wouldn't run if the fuel wasn't returning to tank. The pressure would be sky high.

Fuel needs to go into the rail then to the regulater then back to the tank, which you can't tell from the photos. The dampers aren't required.

Did this car ever run right? When did the problem start?

I'm gonna say its your idle air valve. Put your head near the brake booster on the car and look at the engine. On the back of the intake plenum there is a thing bolted to it with 3 coolant/vacuum lines running to it. You should be able to see a Phillips head screw in there. Adjust that counterclockwise (I think) and that should fix all your problems. I know I had the same symptoms and it fixed mine straight away.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
