hey im lookin at upgrading my fuel pressure regulator on my 3sgte looking at mine it seems to screw into the fuel rail return end as normal... just wondering if this one will fit see photo below it looks as if this new one just clamps on the only thread on it is up the top which would put the guage upside down or do u just turn something around?
any info would be good thanks

i think you run both the factory and aftermarket fuel pressure regs. I know with the sr20's the only bolt on fuel pressure reg that replaces your factory one is made by nizmo.
I think there's no dramas running both except for the gauge will be inaccurate.
That's just what i've heard.

ohhk theres a different product code for each brand of car nissan toyota etc so would that make it bolt in.. yer makin it inline after the stock one owuld make sense... so just put this regulator after the sandard one just on the return line instead of screwing it into the rail.. neone else verify this... ill try it see if it works?

you really want to put this on the return line? that would make the pressures a little odd...
the stock one works by the difference between the manifold pressure and the spring pressure on the diaphragm inside.
just by having the second reg on the outlet will not necessarily be a good thing..
just get a fitting made up to bolt/crew to the fuel rail, and run a high pressure type hose to the new reg.. it's that easy...
Cya, Stewart
ps.. why are you upgrading the fuel pressure reg? what are you trying to achieve?

amd seriously, until you work out what that thread is for, i suggest you don't touch your fuel lines.
