Hey all,

Recently went to fire up my rebuilt S1 RB25 which has had some decent upgrades carried out on it over the last 6 months..

Found the Fuel Pump wasent running (Walbro 255 L.P.H) So simply hard wired it in without using a relay and got it to work..

My Question is, under constant power can I still control fuel pressure and run it for a short time? ( I have a Japanese Adj. FPR fitted)

Is amperage flow suitable?

Cheers :)

Of course. The whole ECU controlled 2 step voltage on the pump is only to reduce noise and fuel heating at idle. The stock FPR is easily able to control the pressure across the full range of engine demand with the stock (or larger) pump running flat out. Your aftermarket reg would be even more capable.

Cool, just wanted to check, I actually ended up using the pump under regular conditions (using factory relay) dont know if you remember my question I asked you about a week back about my fuel pump? Thinking the relay was dead I powered it directly with 13 v, ran it for a few seconds, and then re-connected the factory connector just to double check it wasent working and.. woolah the thing worked again without being directly powered and has been working fine ever since?

Also, am I correct in saying fuel pressure should be held in the rail at all times? (ign on and off) I can set my FPR to whatever pressure I like (45 PSI in this case) and it will stay at that pressure with the fuel pump running, but when I turn ign off, the pressure begins to drop off quite sharply? Im thinking diaphram/valve in the FPR itself? (Its new/under warranty) Obviously this doesent effect running but still..

Depends if your fuel pump has a check valve in it. It's not the reg letting the pressure drop yet it's dropping the other way back threw the pump. Unsure if that pump actually has a check valve or not yet that's why you loosing pressure rapidly once ign off.

Are there EFI fuel pumps without check-valves in them? I thought all modern fuel pumps had a check valve?

The check valves all leak. When you turn our Subaru off it moans like a bitch for about 5 seconds. This is why ECUs will generally run the fuel pump for a few seconds when you turn the ignition on (but not to crank)....to reprime the rail.

I can imagine over time the check valves in factory fuel pumps would leak.. It just surprises me as this is a 6 month old genuine walbro, and the check valve was working fine in it last time I checked.. (Rail held pressure etc)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
