Hi guys, hope I wish you could help me. 

Change fuel regulator, fuel pump, dynamics injectors 1050cc, fuel rail (radium) on my skyline R33. It keeps staying lean when warms up. Fuel regulator have kind of pulse and it is undriveable. I'm going to clean my fuel tank and lines, but just trying to find out what could be.

Do you have all hard lines or stainless braided lines to and from the rail, etc.?

if so you might have fuel pulsation issues. I had the same on my car and another car I setup running a big fuel system and fairly hard lines. A way to stop this from happening is to install a Fuel Pulsation Damper (FPD), Radium have a few decent ones:

How is the fuel pump wired?

Has the ecu been setup after all these changes? Got a wideband on it?

Not only is it pulsating, but the centre of the range of the pressure appears to be about half what it should be. Why is the reg not wound in to give ~43 psi base pressure. That could be all of your lean issue right there.

And, I second the following

Why did you change these parts, and is the rest of the package able to handle it? What size were the previous injectors?

Thanks guys, for your quick response. I'm going to buy that fuel damper. Started to fail after changing injectors and fuel rail. We tuned my car again and keep doing the same. Wideband shows AR sooo lean. 

I've got a very similar setup to you (radium rail, 1050's, etc). Just a heads up, the shorter fuel pulse damper fits in the rail.

I used 2 of them in my rail, you can kinda see them if you squint.

Nice Radium fuel filter too @Murray_Calavera 😎

It's one of these bad boys :)

It can measure the fuel pressure drop across the filter so you know exactly when to change it - so fkn sexy!

What about the pre-existing fuel dampers which Nissan put, all 3 of 'em? At least on my neo there are 3, one right after the fuel pump inside the tank, one mounted on the strut tower and one on the inlet side of the fuel rail.

Having rubber lines actually helps with pulsation dampening, but it is true that bigger injectors like to "pound" harder inside the line especially at certain resonances. Also I've had that same AFPR gauge behavior on my other car (which has 1000cc jets and NO fuel dampers) and it was an improperly set pressure (way too high) which caused the spring to get mega stiff and was bouncing up and down inside. P.S if your gauge has a little valve on the side, make sure to "pop" it once to reset and recalibrate it to your ambient pressure right now. Liquid filled gauges love to read off by tons if they have never been recalibrated and ambient pressures have changed.

I can only speak for myself, but they are in the bin! 

The radium setup with them in the rail is much tidier then having external dampers.

into the bin, (not sure for R34s but in S15 it's actually a pressure relief valve and as soon as you add boost it cracks open and your fuel pressure turns to shit).

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
