Just like the title reads... I need to get an adjustable FPR and I read in a really old post that one guy had heard they are interchangable. Is this in fact the case?

Also, Does anyone know of a good cheap place to buy the Nismo?

Will the Nismo go to 53 psi?

nissan motorsports usa (NISMO): (310) 538-2610 would probably be my first guess, haha. im such a loser for having that number in my phone..

cant help you with the interchangability question though. hope it does fit...then ill buy one.

FYI Nissan Motorsports (the USA 'brand'/'company') and NISMO not the same... altho Nissan Motorsports carries some NISMO parts, unless that is a # for a REAL NISMO rep...

I use the SR's adjustable FPR regulator and it works just fine. I had to re-angle the return pipe off the F/P regulator, but it bolts to the F/R with no dramas.

So this is the best price I have found on the Nismo part: http://www.performancenissanpa...id=96

But it says it fits the 240SX, will it also fit the CA fuel rail? It looks the same, but I found on Nissans, thet doesn't necessarily mean jack. Same with most companies I guess.

Started my reply before this was up. So is the SR one the same as the one I posted? 240SX, SR? Says it fits the NA SR. So I guess it should...

Dee, it does or it doesn't bolt on to the F/R without problems? Your sentence was confusing.

it goes on without any problems. the return pipe from the regulator has to be re-angled to get it to work, but that isnt a tough job.

and that number is for a NISMO representative. you can order all nismo parts and japanese nissan parts by calling that number.

The same one you see is the one used for the SR, KA and a few more nissan motors. The only reason why I added the fact that i had to re-angle because if you look at the return portion of the regulator, you'll see why. So yes freaks, it will fit your POS CA motors:D. They don't have a listing for a CA18, so that's why I said I'm one from the SR:confused: ..............Poor Ryan. Always:confused:

A couple of companies make adapters to fit nissan style rails as well.. they let you run an external regulator (such as Aeromotive, etc.). Basically its a flat mounting plate with for the rail with a fitting coming off to run to an external regulator. Works pretty well when I've used it.. cheap too..
