hey guys

need some good advice on what to do

well i just bought new injectors from here... and i looked at the engine and it looks like we have to take out the plenum to take out the fuel rails. does anyone here know that if we take out the plenum... will the gasket break or do we have to replace a new one. if it doesn't... then i can do a home job :D but if it does... i guess its more safer to get professionals to do it >.<

thx all in advance

i did my one my self, i hated it, bastard of a job, but labours expensive!! u need a 12 or 14mm socket and extention to get to the bottom studs.. i used a ratchet spanner for the easier ones.. good luck

i was only charger $250 for the job :D if u shop around u can get some pretty ok pricers :D

dam $250 for labour... thats alot aye...

thx for the reply...

also... umm... the top half of the plenum... if u unscrew it... does it stuff up the gasket.. anyone know ?

no its a rubber gasket. as long as it isnt ripped etc, re use it

You dont need to take the plenum off.

I've swapped injectors in 2 different rb25's and an rb20, about all you need is a set of pliers and a 1/4 inch socket set and you can slide the rail out the front.

It's a bit easier if you remove the throttle body. It's a 2 hour job max, including removing the old injectors, installing the new ones and reinstalling the rail.

Well going by your user name you have an R34.

The rail will not slide out the front without removing the plenum. It comes oh so close but I tried for ages and it wouldn't come. The gasket is not rubber either but if you're careful you can reuse it no worries.

There are 3 bolts holding it on from underneath and they are all bastards. You need a 1/4 inch drive socket set to get them out. I think they are 12mm but could be 10mm.

Impedance is an electrical term. Did you mean to use that? What injectors do you have and what engine?

yes i did because if the injectors are different the std ecu will not operate them properly, there is high impedance and low impedance injectors (99%sure of this?)

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
