I had 400kw with the stock reg and rail.

It's at idle/low load etc that the reg is going to give you issues if at all, as that's when it has to bypass the most fuel flow and when it's working the hardest. It shouldn't be bypassing much at high load as the engine is using it.

And if you ever put a fuel pressure sensor and monitor the oem fuel pressure I reckon it's going to be all over the shop with larger fuel systems... you'll run into fuel pulsation issues 

I put my stock reg back on today and immediately the fuel pump made a horrible squealing noise on startup and while running. The car idles like crap and stalled.

So I put my tomei reg back on and the car started up and idled normally with no abnormal fuel pump noise.

I have 1000cc injectors with a aeroflow topfeed rail on a r33 gtst. So im guessing the stock reg can't cope well at idle?

OK, thanks for that.

It must depend on the fuel pump that is how much pressure/flow they build up.

Also the standard R33 has a fuel pump controller in the back/boot. It drops the fuel pump voltage at idle and low load.

Most after-market ECU's don't handle the fuel pump controller right, so the pump always runs at full voltage.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
