@Dose Pipe Sutututu can confirm, plenty other cars doing more power on standard filter. I'm not opposed to changing it, but when others don't need to, it makes me question it. I am happy to put a new one in there either way as it's been a while on 85.

The easiest way is to do a run without the filter. This is how I tested it when I was on the dyno.

Prior to that, I changed injectors, fuel pump, and FPR, so you can do all of that too and then change the filter if you would prefer to burn money ;)
It took a FPR gauge on the dyno to actually determine why it was leaning out, which lead to me dropping the filter.

It seems 34 specific though, I do wonder if it is the same part for the Ryco filter or whether 34's have another restriction in the system somewhere that 33's and 32's don't. Is it the same? I have honestly never looked.

The other option is just make 360kw on -9's which is certainly enough for those turbos.

 

Ideally just want to make one trip back. Not go in, test without filter, no success, come home, buy more shit etc. 

The workshop is small so cars cannot sit there waiting for parts and given it's a 2wd dyno means front drive shaft out each time. 

Thanks for the input, seems the earls and similar are cheap enough anyway.

I don't think it's the case of the filter being clogged so much, as much as what GTSBoy said, the actual filter itself is restrictive and it can't flow that much fuel in it.

This^^

Dan think of it like an exhaust, you can run 350kw through a 3" exhaust but you are not doing yourself any favours. Just bin it and put a good filter in and never worry about it again. 

Arent std efi filters 10micron. Hell my fuel pick up is 15micron!

 

Not sure I would chase better flow thru less filtration. I ended up going twin bosch OE 10micron filters that have M14 female threads. At the end of the day if you want filtration and flow its a matter of surface area...also with E85 and cheap filters you may just want to monitor it that they dont collapse due to any  resin/glue bonding they may use in the filter element letting go in an E85 application. Part of the reason I went OE Bosch as there is loads of experience with E85. Ryco etc is probably fine but finnily enough I see oil pressure differences when going from Ryco oil filter to OE Nisan oil filter so I guess there is something in them

So, I think this may also be a problem also? 

While removing crap form the car to get into the tank again, I had a light bulb moment and checked the wiring I used for the pump vs the Walbro specs. 

The roll of wire was bought from Jaycar when questioned what I'd need for a fuel pump etc. 

As you can see on the specs @ 13.5volts, this pump wants more than the 15amp rating of the wiring. I assume this would mean the pump is not able to draw the current it needs? or does it simply draw the current and slowly burn out the wiring? 

Walbor specs here: http://walbrofuelpumps.com/walbro-f90000267-fuel-pump-e85

I'm not elec savvy enough to know what happens. D

Does it cause more resistance in the circuit and stop it drawing the amps it needs or does it just burn through the wiring (but not stop the pump flowing hard). 

Either way I'll replace it.

How long is the run? Because there will be a significant voltage drop if it's 16GA from the engine bay to the fuel pump.

Small wire, higher resistance, more heat, energy loss during transmission (well not lost, it's converted into heat - laws of conservation of energy).

thinner wire has a higher resistance, meaning a greater voltage drop over its length. the power loss in that drop in voltage gets dissipated as heat in the wire.

I'd be using 12-14 AWG wire, if its a short run 14 is ok, if its long use 12. 

A 460 at 75+psi & 14v is up around ~20 amps of current.

also of note, the bulkhead pipes in the R34 fuel tank hat are plastic and appear to be a bit thinner than the R32-33 hat. might be an optical illusion, but they look a bit smaller to my eye.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
