Hi all,

So i was 'exploring' my R33 the other day inve stigating  the previous owners handiwork.  And i came across  this. ( see pics) are these both fuel pressure regulators?  If so why are they both on the same line into the fuel rail.

Any information would be awesome thanks

Your second picture is a Fuel Dampener, it's there to restrict "pulsing" and irregularities in fuel flow. It would be on the return, likely after your FPR.

If nothing is leaking and your pressure is good, you have no problems.

The dampener has to be in the pressure side  of the fuel supply otherwise it is pointless , it is either before or after the rail, definitely before the regulator.

Its actually on the return side after the rail and fpr on an r33. I removed mine to fit a flex sensor in its spot. It probably was pointless of Nissan putting it there as i didn't notice any adverse effects after binning it.

Well that’s mental.  Hp academy did a video recently of fuel dampers.  

 

On the return makes no sense

Fire off an email to Mr Nissan and let him know of your disgust at this rookie mistake.

Luckily he sorted it out in another amateur move and put 2 on neo engines, one before and after the reg.

I really am cloning your build aren't I man... This is exactly what I wanted to do, but was scared of any adverse reaction to the car by binning! Now my sensor sits at the top of the strut just hanging out LOL.

Going to remove my dampener and place here, wish me luck :P

Theres even a bolt hole there half way up the strut tower you can use to mount the sensor. Win win.

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
