Hi guys,

I have a R33 that I'm redoing the fuel system on. 

Currently it had a hack job by a tune shop that they have cable tied the braided lines under the car and jerry rigged a stock hanger to use two pumps.

I've redone the fuel tank with a frenchy performance twin pump setup, have ordered custom brackets for the fuel lines.

My question;

I am running AN8 feed and AN6 return.

On the fuel rail is it normal to have an8 fitting on one side and the an6 on the other?

I also noticed my ethanol sensor on the return is only 5/16 instead of AN6, should I look at running it parallel or it won't be an issue?

Put the FPR, after the fuel rail but before the Y split.

If not, fuel will find the path of least resistance and bypass the FPR.

Another option is, new 8AN feed, then use both the original feed/return as dual return (that's what I did).

Makes sense, just not sure how to put the ethanol sensor in parallel after the fpr.

You could do it underneath the car (I personally don't like this ideal).

Mine is in the boot, but it's also on the pressure side from the main tank to the surge tank.

I just saw one of these bad boys: https://www.radiumauto.com/Split-Flow-Flex-Fuel-Sensor-Adapter-P2194.aspx

Looks to be perfect solution.

Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix

Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.

Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL...

My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

My first thought is run hardlines, but running a soft pipe is easier and quicker, though normally more exxy...

Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.

It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it ;)

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
