Hi,

After search through 34pages, I still was answerless so here I go.

I’m about to upgrade to nismo 740cc injectors, and I was wondering if there is any point to upgrade my fuel rail from a stock to Greddy.

Are there any advantages to having an aftermarket fuel rail? It seems to be a cheap upgrade only $300.

I have an S1 R33 GTST RB25DET

Cheers Michael :D

p.s i believe the Greddy fuel-rail doesn't change the injectors from side-feed to top-mount.

my 2 cents and a bit, which has been tested by flow testing a fuel rail, says that there is a lack of (air) pressure towards the return end of the rail which will cause a leaner air/fuel mixtures towards the return end cylinders.

the best way to solve this is get a twin feed fuel rail with a single return which more evenly distributes fuel to all cylinders. these can be found (cough cough, see sig) a lot cheaper than those you have mentioed which still retain a single return line (poor flow). very ricer like r31nismoid, does nothing but add looks.

once you have the rail, all you need is a brass y-piece and some fuel line and they bolt straght into the standard position. one thing to make sure is to keep the length of each supply line the same length from the y-peice to the rail as the length of fuel line also dictates amount of pressure available to each end. this i haven't tested but was told to me by at least a couple of pro-dragsters that have chased lean mixtures back to something so simple like fuel hose length.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
