 so i was talking to my friend about his 240sx and he told me about the Gas pressure gauge. he said its good to keep one in any car to see if there is anything wrong with your oil. So i just want ot know how many people here have one in their tC?

 Why would you get a fuel pressure gauge to measure oil pressure? That's 2 different gauges.


Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

 IMO if your car is stock and you have less then oh say 150,000 miles you dont need to worry about your fuel pressure. If you have nitrous, F/I or many other mods that push your fuel system then yes getting a fuel pressure gauge would be good. Or if you have a lot of miles on your fuel system and are worried about the pump or FPR going bad on you. I plan on buying one after getting the TRD supercharger, mainly just for looks though.

 ^^exactly. unless you are doing something to the car that is going to need to have an increase in fuel flow or needs to be tuned you don't need one. for the most part if your still stock or using a fuel pump that is in the stock location you don't need one. now if your pushing enough power and have enough work done that you are using an aeromotive pump or something like that then yeah you might want to think about getting one.

i have turbo, bigger injectors, and a walbro fuel pump and still don't need a fuel presure regulator. for me a wide band that shows if the mixture is rich or lean. that alone will tell me if i'm starting to loose fuel pressure or atleast tell me that something is wrong causing me not to get enough fuel to the motor.

Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.
