haha stop picking on me troy! :cheers:

you bag me out what ever i want, when i first suggested the GTRS you were talking me out of it, now this!

no i have all the braided fittings for all my fuel lines, but the crappy clamp fittings on the fuel rail. and i smell petrol!

lol...sorry :Oops:

Feel free to give me sh1t, your car = making good power and running :P

For all my talk and advice = car dead and sitting idle ;)

If i may ask a similar question....if you are chasing decent HP...when does the std rb20 fuel rail become a bit of a concern?

Ive got the rb31det in and running....gt35/40r and manifold due any day :P Im considering replacing the fuel line and rail as well....braided line etc. Is there any difference between the aftermarket fuel rails and the std nissan ones??...besides 12 years of development ;)

If the aftermarket rail has duel feeds then id say they coudl be a good thing in ensuring equal flow to all injectors. If they are simply shiny and anodised i think you will find that the std rail aint that bad a thing....plenty of ppl seem to make do with big power, and id imagine bumping up fuel pressire rail with adj regs also helps the std rail

NOTE: this is conjecture...im only offering thoughts. :headspin:

well apparently there is a different feed internally, but the main advantage is having the good fuel fittings and getting rid of those crappy clamps! i guess on a high hp engine you would be better safe than sorry, imagine blowing off the fuel line! ouch

I've not seen fuel line fittings on aftermarket rails . I have seen odd ball EFI hose sizes though , I think it was 7 or 7.5mm . A problem may exist in metric and imperial hose size . I suspect there's plenty of imperial hose on metric fittings . One example I know is that FJ20 hose tail injectors need the 7 or 7.5mm to seal properly under the clamps . I definately don't like rising rate fuel pressure regulators , to me this is a band aid for undersized injectors . Also running the system out of regulation (ie non constant head of fuel pressure over manifold pressure) creates tuning difficulties . In my opinion the use of factory style hose and fittings (of good quality in good condition and correct size)) should work . If the aftermarket rail has some extra function that works buy it . If not the only the factor of lightening your wallet will make it go any better .

where can you get a "trick alloy" rail made here in Adelaide Clint?

Motec agents/dealers sell fuel rail by the length, measure your standard rail and then take the Motec rail and your standard rail along to any machine shop. Nine holes later (three threaded), add brackets and it's done. There is no magic in a fuel rail, it's just a piece of pipe with holes in it.

BTW I am up to 625 bhp on the standard RB26 fuel rail, I am about to change the fittings though. Fred also seemed to think the standard rail was pretty good, the Gibson boys changed the fittings and the lines to braided. But the rail itself is a standard RB26 fuel rail. Note that they ran a mechanical fuel pump with fuel pressure between 115 psi and 145 psi (depending on boost).

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
