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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
