Hey guys,  first time poster,  long time skyline lover. 

I have a series 1 33 gtst, just purchased the car and have a question. 

Have been told its been rebuilt 40xxx ago and had bigger injectors and bigger girl pump installed with a standard ecu.  it shoots flames.. Like hella shoots them..  All the time.

On the jdm cred side of things it's badass but I can't help but wonder..

Is the flames due to the bigger injectors making it run rich? 

With it having bigger injectors,  would I benefit from installing an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator? 

If so,  what would the ideal pressure be or how would I find that figure?

Get a wideband and check the actual afrs. They may be rich or lean but unlikely to be right.

If they are wrong you can either put standard injectors back in or get an aftermarket ecu and a tune (or work out a Nistune solution with an R32 or Z32 ecu.

If your injectors are bigger than stock an fpr is not the way to tune.

I can get an RB20de nistune ecu of a mate,  apparently I switch 2 wires on the injectors and I'm. Good to go,  not to sure though,  I've read a few threads a out it.  

I have been told to get a tuneable ecu to solve this issue and of course just to get better performance in general but wanted a better understanding of what's actually going on.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
