My plugs from my harness that connect to my stnadard injectors will not fit the keyway on any of the "direct fit" upgrade injectors!

Is it mandatory to replace the electrical connectors/plugs on the RB20DET when you upgrade the injectors?

Will the plugs from a RB25/26 fit the upraded injectors?

All the injectors I have seen and also the ones I have will not direct fit onto the standard plugs??

This includes Nismo/Sard and Bosch. The standard keyway/ locator is offset and all the larger injectors are center keyways/ locators and are on both top and bottom, standard only on the top.

Any advice appreciated.??

Take a injector down to repco, they should have new plugs to fit them then solder the new plugs on.

i changed all the plugs on mine when i did the upgrade and i think the new plugs were about $35 for all 6

Dont forget the High / Low Impedance issue as well.

You need resistor packs for the Low Imp units.

I fitted RX7 550cc inj. my RB20 and just cut out the key in the sockets so a straight fit on with std plugs.

After being to just jap today I have found that the GTR is the only harness with the same plugs as the large capacity/ low impedance injectors so if you plan on throwing in GTR injectors you will have the same plug issue. Almost impossible to get a hold of GTR plugs as they do not want to seperate from the harness. (fair enough!)

Repco sounds like the go, thanks for the tips.

Be warned if anyone else is planning to put GTR injectors or aftermarket upgrade injectors in you will have to change the plugs. I found that RB25 plugs are different again to both the RB20 and GTR. CA18 seems to carry the necessary plugs for the conversion. Only going on what I saw at just jap today.

I am aware of the resistor pack needed, to change from 14ohms to 2.5ohms.

Rgds, Grippy.

If you wanted you could file the offset locater pin off the injector so the plugs will fit, or slice a slot in the top of the plug to accept the pin on injector, but i think thats starting to get a bit rough lol, better off with new plugs.

I ended up getting new plugs from Repco. Part no. BK402 and these are a perfect fit. Cost about $16 for a pack of 2. Just crimped them on, now it's sweet.

Just have to wire in the resistor pack and I 'm good to go.

Bringing this thread back. I've just pulled my stock injectors out of my RB20 and i have a set of pink Nismo 555cc injectors to put in (p/n 16600-RR420) but the plug on the injectors are different. Being a Sunday, no where is open to buy new plugs, so i wanted to know if anybody here actually has just filed the locator pin on the injectors or modifyed the plug to fit?

Isn't that what people normally do when fitting GTR injectors to RB20's (slice the locating tab off)?

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
