I purchased a nismo FPR type A and found out i need a gauge to adjust it. I saw a gauge from frsport that i like but was told it was pointless because it read up to 160psi and all i need it 100psi. I'm really looking for a simple setup.

Get a summitracing gauge that goes to 100psi. Only 20 bucks and you can fine adjust it a little better, since it's not a huge range like 160.

I would recommend one that is glycerin filled. That one in the pic doesn't look like it has that, so if you're trying to read and adjust while the car is running, the needle may jump.

Really easy to install. Just cut a section out of the fuel hose, about an inch, and then T in the fuel gauge & adapter. It's pretty self explanatory once you see the adapter. Also, I thought the fuel line was 5/8 in.? I think that's the size of adapter I ordered when I was installing the gauge.

Also, you put it on the hose that's inbetween the fuel filter and rail.
