R32 GTS-T -- Why use 2 fuel pressure regulators

Why is it Nissan have used 2 fuel pressure regulators on the R32 GTS-T (I'm unsure if they also did it on the R33)

One fuel pressure reg. is at the back of the fuel rail near the firewall. This one receives the fuel and passes it on to the injector rail.

The other is at the front of the fuel rail towards the front of the car that feeds the fuel to the return to tank fuel line.

Is there any reason or benefit from this setup or does it simple help hold fuel pressure in the rail and prevent the fuel pump from working as hard as often??

That's the first time I've ever heard or there being two. I'm not sure where you saw that but I have never seen it. I know that when you add and aftermarket one, you leave that standard one on as a backup device to prevent total loss in case of new reg failure.

I also noticed this when I put my new injectors in.

My back one wasn't even connected, the hose going to it was all split and stuffed, so I replaced it when I put the new injectors in

I wonder if thats why my car an so lean..........................

You'd think a decent mechanic would pic something like that up hey.

When I swapped the injectors, I found 4 vacuum hoses with leaks in them/or not connected

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
