Just got a Nismo Fuel Pressure Regulator and i know most are going to say take it to a dyno, which i am, but i want to know before i get there.

1) To increase flow, i turn the screw out just like a bleed valve.

2) When i increase flow, my A/F will be filthy rich as i won't be changing the values on my PFC.

FPR has nothing to do with flow - it simply controls the pressure in the fuel lines.

So:

1) to increase pressure, RTFM

2) when you increase pressure, yes, your A/F will be richer than it is now.

I wouldnt blindly start changing the fuel pressure without a gauge. But yeah everything will become richer as pressure goes up, but if you have O2 sensor compensation turned on, light load operation shouldnt be affected.

Anyone else

How bout if I have a go. There are two interelated parameters: Flow (ie the amount of fuel flowing through the injector rail) & pressure (ie as seen by the injectors). If you increase the rail pressure the pump output will drop, ie the higher pressure the pump has to work against the lower its flow rate Pretty straight forward really.

However, the opposite happens to the injectors, ie the higher the pressure in the fuel rail the more fuel the fuel injectors will flow. Hence, the higher pressure you dial into the regulator, the richer your motor will run.

So if i see 98% injector cycle now, even if i turn up the pressure i will still see 98% injector cycle but the motor will be running richer than before

thats right.with the increase in fuel pressure your injectors will just spray more fuel during the time that they are open for, making it run richer at the same injector duty cycle

you have the right idea. if you had after market management and you increase the fuel pressure you can lower your duty cycle

thats what i have done with mine

      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.
