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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
