being farely new to the skyline scene, or perfomance in general, im in need of some advice.

Im planning on doing an upgrade to r33 t. So far im looking at;

- Nismo Fuel Pump

- Sard Fuel Regulator Type-R

- Sard Fuel Injectors 550cc

this stuff im pretty sure i want and am going to get. the problem is the engine management.

I dont know squat about it, and im happy to admit that. Everyone seems to have an Apexi PowerFC. But now i read the thread at the top of this page and see the Greddy E-management.

My questions are these;

* Am i missing anything for this upgrade (fuel wise)

* and which is a better computer for my needs, either out of the two mentioned or if there is something better i've overlooked completely.

If anyone can shed some light on my situation it would be greatly appreciated.

if you dont have a turbo dont bother with injectors or a reg. you dont need them

As for a Nismo pump... a Bosch unit can do the same job at a cheaper price im sure

buy all parts at once (includin turbo) and do the mods at one time, saves retune after retune costs.

At the moment ive got 3" turbo back, HKS Pod and Intercooler. Standard Turbo.

Im looking at nengun for the parts mentioned. anywhere else to look? nengun dont have bosch.

If i do get a bigger turbo, the injectors and reg. will be needed though, right?

austalia has bosch mate.

thats local stuff.

Yeah, injectors'reg will be needed. But as i said.

No point doing them till needed as its only added retune costs.

stay away from 550sard's. get the 700cc nismo ($50-$80 extra from memory) they are a strainght fit and cause less problems cause of it

My suggestions. as always, is to first work out what it is that you want to do with the car, then how much power you need to achieve that result, then get an appreciation as to how much that is going to cost.

An example, if 200 rwkw will achieve what you want, then you don't need any of the stuff you have listed, and $3K should get you there. If its 400 rwkw then $10K won't be enough.

So what is it that you want to achieve?

:)

PS; an EManage is a piggy back solution, it is NOT comparable with a Power FC which is a full computer. The Power FC will always be superior in a manual application. For autos, an SAFC is a lot cheaper than an Emanage for similar results.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
