Would pay to get the mixtures checked out. Obviously dropping the fuel pressure reduces fuel flow. Wouldn't want to melt pistons due to running lean.

OP this is a very good idea.

If you're in sydney you could ask Johnny to do it, he might even set your fuel pressure properly for a small fee

I have a top mount fuel rail with 750cc injecorts and a plenum waiting to go in Along with a hypergear atr43ss2 turbo z32 afm and a powe fc so i think i may need one when it comes to tuning in the future

Nope. Don't need one.

yeah what ben said....adjustable fuel pressure regulators were a thing when upgrading injectors was an expensive proposition, you should only ever need a stock regulator if you run the right pump for the right injectors....most if not all injector flow rates are tested at 43.5psi....your fuel pump just needs to be able to keep up that pressure when the injectors open.

i doubt the stock reg will fit in that rail though. forget rising rate too, just set and forget

possible, if you use those EFI Hardware adapters..

I was going to do that, but thought what the heck.. fit an external and have control over the rail pressure.

What is the point of a rising rate reg? something about squeezing more fuel out in the top end or something?

That's right. They kind of had a use when ecu's couldn't be tuned.

Now they have no real use. Get correct size injectors and tune away.

eh?

All fuel regulators are rising rate.. as you increase boost pressure, fuel pressure is increased.. it's only NA cars that just run 3bar (or whatever) when there's no vacuum.

The purpose of a normal fuel pressure regulator is to maintain EXACTLY the same pressure drop across the injectors regardless of what the downstream (manifold) pressure is. So, it doesn't matter if the manifold is in vacuum, at atmospheric, or boosted to 2 bar, if the reg is referenced to the manifold pressure then it will make the fuel rail pressure go up and down with it, maintaining the same delta P. This is desirable because the spray pattern generated and the quality of the atomisation is a function of the delta P.

That could be thought of as rising rate, but it's not really, as it is completely linear. A true rising rate reg will add MORE pressure to the fuel as the manifold pressure rises. As has been mentioned before, this was a common cheat to get more flow out of injectors without ruining the idle and low load mixtures when adding more power.....back in the bad old days.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
