hey gents I pulled my fuel pump outta my r32 gtr and I noticed that the oem pump does not have a check valve on the outlet of the pump as most pictures on google have. theres a diagphrag looking unit on the body of the pump. Is there any reason mine would be missing? is it a check valve for sure? it seems the oem bnr32 pump has 2 diaphragm looking objects on the pump on on the body of the pump and one on the outlet attached with a couple inches of hose on the way upto the sender body and out to the front of the car towards the fuel rail. what are the 2 diaphragm looking units and most especially is the one on the outlet very important? mind you my car has been running for years with no issues, no problems with hards starting what so ever. seems the pump has been removed in japan before ( I can tell because the level sender retaining ring has damage on it). could it of been upgraded before and maybe the guy returned it back to stock and forgot this check valve maybe?

You mean the small round can that the line runs through on the fuel pump assembly?

If so its a fuel pulse damnper, its absorbs fuel pump and injector pulses from the fuel, think of it as taking out harmonic pressure spikes and smoothing out the line pressure.

It sort of like those anti hammer devices you can fit to your home plumbing to stop the pipes banging.

Ive read many of the better after market fuel pressure regs have this characteristic built into them.

To find out if you need it, fit a fuel pressure gauge on the line and check to see if the pressure is bouncing by a few PSI......

Most commonly needed OEM on batch fire injectors and large Qty of injectors on 1 rail where you can get the pressure oscillating.

Edit, i might add, i didnt know what they were used for till a few weeks ago when trying to work out my fuel system for our car.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
