I just threw a proflow fuel rail for an RB25 in the trash a few weeks ago.  Leaked from the crush washer area on both ends where the AN fittings attach.  Tried Earl's crush washers and it still didn't solve the problem with the leaking.  Proflow claimed I was sent the wrong crush washers and that they were supposed to have sent stat-o-seals with the rail.  I don't believe that was true they were just trying not to pay return shipping on the rail to have it replaced.  Although the stat-o-seals stopped the leaking they weren't a proper fitment.  I kept my HKS knockoff in favor of the proflow.

thanks for the replies. great insight from first hand experience. ill most likely be sticking with the stock rail with the biggest injectors possible and a nismo reg to squeeze the injectors a little further.

 

meanwhile while changing my pump i noticed this fuel reg looking thing. can someone tell me what it is and what it does?

have changed a few pumps in nissans but never came across this?

Over pressure relief valve. Probably don't need it.

your current choice of actions seem pretty good unless your power goals are 500awkw with ethanol or something like that.
A lot of people seem to go for a new fuel rail when they don't need it, stock can do 400+ on E85. guess its one of those "well that car i saw had one so i must need one" kind of thing.

Reserved a freddy rail to pick up when i'm home myself today, but my power goals are up at that 500kw on ethanol mark. Also means i need to get an new FPR, another thing people seem to buy for no reason

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
