*sorted for the time being* :P

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a pair RB20DET injectors for my R32 GTS-t as one of them has started leaking & another needs to be replaced.

*i know this is the wrong section - but i need them asap - so i'll try here before i put the ad up on the WTB section*

I wan't to get this done as soon as possible, as this is my daily drive.

From what i have read, the one's needed are: Standard injectors are red, they are a JECS injector and

the number on the side is A46-000001 & are a 270cc high impedance type.

If anyone has any, brand new or second hand (good wokring order), please let me know ASAP - I can come and pick them up.

Cheers,

Steve. :(

BTW - here is a picture of the leak:

are you sure the o-ring hasn't just broken? I had that happen and at idle i would get a very small spray/leak....which created a puddle on the garage floor after a minute of idling :)

My leak hasn't gotten that extreme....Could be that i suppose, but i also got told that my injector is unserviceable - so i'd personally rather get a good working order second hand unit (which wasn't that expensive) than trying to service my injectors.

I'll get back to you guys when i get the old ones taken out :rofl:

Cheers,

Steve.

if your mechanic suggested to replace the injector without first diagnosing if it is infact the problem then i would be going elsewhere :)

what i did was take it to my mechanic, he then pulled out the injector, found the broken o-ring, looked at the injector (a nismo 555cc one in this case), replaced the o-ring, and pressure tested the fuel system to (i think) twice the required working pressure and all was sweet.

IMO, buying a second hand injector is cheap, but no point if the problem isn't identified with certainty.....

Fair point. Was no mechanic, just some responses to my photos - it looks as though the body o-ring between the plastic top and metal body has melted or something and got unstuck, if that makes sense? - i dont think that can be replaced? I've had a fuel flow and pressure test done recently which all came out OK. I'll get to the bottom of it.

Thanks for your replies :)

BTW, have you got any photos of the injector before it got repaired?

Cheers,

Steve.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
