Hi All, I need to make a resistor pack for my RB20DET to fit in my GTR injectors and I am unable to find instructions... I am guessing they would be somewhere or that someone has done it so I would love it if someone would take to time to point me in the right direction.

I don't have a stock GTR resistor pack and need to get them in tonight / tomorrow otherwise Ican't get my car tuned with them this weekend :)

Thanks in advance!!

Dunno about making one, have you tried searching for it?

You could call an import wrecker to find a GTR one.. I also remember reading somewhere that you can use the resistor pack out of an R30..

doing a search would be your best bet on finding the instructions tho, if there are any..

Thanks mate, I can't find anythng concrete so I though someone may have done it...

I really need to have it and installed by Friday befor Dr Drift comes down (to Tassie) so I figure making one may be quicker than finding one and getting it here! (And a lot cheaper).

There's a wiring up guide done by ROY in the tutorial section, I dropped in new injector plugs/boots (To suit VL, VL inj. plugs are the same as GTR inj. plugs, 6 inj plugs/boots cost me ~$53) while I was there as it was a real pain in the arse to trim up all the injectors so the plugs were suitable.

With regards to making a resistor pack. Buying the high quality resistors that it requires will cost you all up around $100. You are better off simply buying a second hand gtr resistor pack for the same/similiar price.

OR... Do what I did and used an Aussy R30 Skyline resistor pack, R30's are everywhere at the old car wreckers. I've seen them go anywhere from $5 right up to a whopping ~$15. :happy:

sorry to bring up an old thread...

but so its confirmed 100% that gtr injectors can be run with a r30 resistor pack - using stock ecu / power fc ...

also where is it exactly located in the r30 and what does it look like (exactly)

and what does an r30 look like hehe - what year?

thanks :(

The R30 uses the usual automotive plug 8pin plug that is made by various manufactures such as navara etc. They can be picked up from the local auto store for around $3.95.

Have a look in the tutorials section for a guide + pics written by Roy.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
