Hi !

I'm in the way to upgrade my fuel system. I had rust in the fuel tank ( low Milage rhd ) so i ordered a brand new one from nissan.

So There is what i bought!

-Nissan Oem fuel tank -Tomei 248L/PH Part Number: 183001-Tomei Fuel pressure Regulator Type A ( RB/SR) same as nismo one.-z32 Fuel Filter

My question READ ALL PLEASE

i'm on the way to get an-SARD Fuel Regulator Setting Meter 52mm

and i'm getting a FREE SARD fuel pressure regulator with it. I know that the sard is a rising rate unit and i have read here ( zerothread/214558 ) that we don't need a rising rate regulator on ca18det.

So my Question is Sard FPR or Tomei FPR ? What is he best way to go ? If you have any Tips for my Fuel system you are welcome but i think it' gonna be a good one.

The stock regulator is fine, there are a number of 250-300rwk (330-400whp) in australia using the stock reg...

Even I used 800cc injectors on the stock fuel reg and rail...

Unless yours is buggered, or you are chasing massive power and are concerend about possible pressure fluctuations, sell off your free one and keep the stock

As an example, I use twin walbro pumps, 3/8 aluminium fuel lines, dash 6 fuel connections and hose, billet fuel rail, sard reg, billet filter (only for the reusability and dash 6 fittings, most std filters are fine) and upgrading to 1000cc injectors as my 800cc's wont flow enough..

My oem FPR don't keep the pressure at idle ( drop to 25-26psi after 5-10sec)

My Tomei FPR is already on the way to me and I can get the SARD one free with a SARD Fuel Gauge kit. ( ALL BRAND NEW)

I think i will install the Tomei FPR and resell the Sard Fpr

Just received my part yesterday. It's the 8mm nipple Regulator so juste plug it with 8mm hose .

I'm looking for 110$+ shipping as they sell for 125+$ + shipping on nico sponsor. Good up to 450whp.
