At this point I doubt there's a cheaper deal that the Sard 550cc injectors at you know where.

I was told that Bosch injectors may not be too expensive if you're friendly with a distro.

~$150 odd times six = $900

It's these times where I wish I had an SR20!

Ha ha!

The SARD price does sound very good, but how can they be so much cheaper than the Nismo's?

I'm in the same position T, about to get reg, fuel pump and injectors. I was hoping the PowerFC would be able to handle the upgraded system without increasing fuel consumption though.

Last night I put in 45 litres for 330kms. eek!

Nismo has a better 'name' than Sard (which is a soap and a Supra parts people).

PowerFC should be the best choice. As it is you *may* not need a reg.

Pressure may be fine with the pump only - but a Nismo or even HKS, Apex'i reg. is not too expensive.

My car leans out big time over 1 bar... so it is necessary or all this money was for naught.

Hi guys, Nismo don't make injectors, neither do Sard, they buy them from injector manufacturers, stick them in their boxes and double the price. Nippon Denso is the main injector manufacturer in Japan. Read what it says stamped into the injector body, not what is on the box.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
