Removing Injectors - R33 Gtst

[HKS-R33]

Hey guys im going to be removing my injectors this week and just wanted to know the best way to get them out. As in do i have to take the plenum off or is it possible to get them out with it on. Also if i have to take the plenum off, can you get a gasket from nissan australia for one?

By the looks of the r33 injectors, all i have to do is get the 2 screws out and pop the injectors out.

Car is an R33 GTST.

Thanks, Mike.

Not that simple I'm afraid.

You can get them out without taking the plenum off but it usually takes the same amount in stuff around time if you do it that way anyway. The injectors need to be removed in a specific way. Take the caps off, turn them sideways (so they face the end of the rail) and then grab a LARGE screwdriver, place it between the base of the plug and the rail....make sure t's right in there...then twist. Out she pops. Repeat 6 times lol.

The tricky part is on re-install....you MUST drown the injector seals in lubricant and lube up the injector tubes (in the rail) otherwise you risk pinching the o rings. Don't forget to swap the old o rings to the new injectors or get some new ones. Place the injectors in their respective hole and push hard....if lubricated properly they should POP into place.

The gasket shoul dbe able to be re-used for the plenum if you unbolt it....it is made of rubber so give it a LIGHT coat of sealant on re-assembly.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply, will probably end up taking the plenum off or the top half of it anyways.

Simpler is to simply remove the throttle body (after removing X-over pipe), then remove 3 bolts holding the rail in place.

I think, from memory, you need to pull some of the plumbing above #1, #2, but that will be obvious when you are doing it.
