R32 Gtr Injectors! Wtf?

[sigsputnik]

hi all

i've been quoted $195 each for new gtr injectors - is that right? these are 550cc apparently...anyone have a lead on some cheaper ones? this is for pre-rego!

That sounds cheap to me for 550cc

[2rismo]

Sounds good.

[sigsputnik]

great, thanks guys. i'm not sure what brand they are yet.

[Sinista32]

Price is good. Theyre normally around $230ea.

Try out ebay as there is some good bargains on Injectors.

HKS 550cc new injectors - set of 6 at $950 (works out to $158 ea)

thanks richard...it's a pain in the neck because i only bought the car a couple of weeks ago and haven't driven it, now the injectors are leaking? might also need to get the clutch looked at (twin plate os giken), making a rattling noise at idle (and a bit too much bite for my taste - spins the wheels without trying). recommendations there would be great too...

[Sinista32]

No worries - before you replace the Injectors are you certain it isnt one of the two washers ($1 a set). Quite often ppl replace the injectors without changing the washers and it causes all sorts of greif (hey NiK).

I also have an OS giken twin plate on my GTR and she's great! No bite, no noise. It's like driving a family sedan.

I suppose what I am saying is it really does sound like yours is giving up the ghost. The symptoms you describe for the clutch it wont be long at all before replacement. I sufferd the same with my 32 GTS-T.

oh gawd.....hmmm - do you think this is the kind of thing i should get 'fixed' or 'replaced'? and where should i take it?

thanks heaps for your help guys

[race_snooze]

where should you take it, you know the answer to that.

[Sinista32]

Hmmm - my thought is have it checked out by a clutch specialist. Pg 233 in the yellow pages. They will take it for a drive and give you the low down and a $figure to have it fixed, if needed. Mine cost $900 bucks to have a new one in the GTS_T.

I drove mine till it got too much to bear and was too slippy to drive affecting performance. No damage to anything else driving it like this while I saved up.

Another thought on the Injectors other than the o ring wahsers. You may want to have them cleaned and flowed if theyre in reasonable nick. About $50 bucks each I think from memory.

[sigsputnik]

>where should you take it, you know the answer to that.

uh...no i don't, but i'm willing to learn (or be reminded doh)

[sigsputnik]

thanks heaps richard, for that. ok, will ask for the injectors in a bag to take home.

the irritating thing about the clutch is 1. how easily the wheels spin and 2. difficulty moving off from stationary without stalling.

did that $900 include the clutch?

i am looking forward to mucho gtr happiness after all this...

Your clutch sounds fine. Richard has the dampened version meaning its friendly to drive and doesnt make that god awful rattle. It sounds like you have the non-dampened version which is alot harder to drive and makes that rattling sound. Ask anyone what my car sounds like, im using a HKS un-dampened twin plate and when the clutch pedal is pushed in it makes a screaming really loud rattling, and when idling it clunks away. Its also next to impossible to get the car to move without wheel spinning or stalling... but after 6 months driving I did find the tinyest little sweet spot where it would go without complaining too much. Clutch was brand new and these are the symptoms it had. Put it in 5th gear and floor it, if the revs jump up alot its slipping and needs replacement otherwise it should be fine.

As for the injectors, I had leaking factory ones. They had been reco'd only 3 months before and started leaking again. I would toss them in the bin if they are leaking and just get new ones (those HKS are great value for the price, but if going up injector size you will need a re-tune to compensate for different lag times etc).

The problems caused with the new injectors in mine was due to a stuffed O-ring blowing out under boost causing an air leak which made the car missfire really badly. Took ages to find the culprit (3 months) until it was on a dyno and my mechanic saw it push up slightly out the corner of his eye. $2 later and the car was running the best it had in a long time.

Man I miss my car...

[sigsputnik]

ah sweet sweet action, thanks for the info. i'm pretty sure the clutch is only new (that's what the seller said, anyway).

hmmm...wonder if i could get it modified/dampened...bet that would cost $$$

[CEF11E]

As Amaru said, Standard GTR injectors are 440cc and the ones you are looking at are 550cc. If you have a power FC no problemo but if u have factory management you car will be running hella rich. roughly 25% to rich!

Infact it may not even run with those injectors on factory management.

[Amaru]

Hey CEFFIE, need to get that fuel reg off you... can you PM me your ph # and ill call you on the weekend?

Ive been lazy

[sigsputnik]

thanks for that ceff1e - it turns out it does have an aftermarket computer in it so hopefully it'll be ok...
