Hey guys. My GTR has done 130'000 kms and now that i have a small cold idle problem i thought its time to clean the injectors anyway so i can be confident they are ok before i start changing anything else.

I read peoples posts here about aftermarket injectors but i think the Standard ones will satisfy my future needs. As long as they will be as good as new once serviced.

Ive got some questions...

Would a 89 GTR have top feed or side feed injectors ?

Is $180 ok price to clean/test injectors? (i will be supplying them the fuel rail with inj)

Which way is easier to get the fuel rail out. Remove the plenum or leave it on ?

Do i need to buy some o-rings or something when putting injectors back in ?

I read here inlet manifold gasket is $85. this is ridiculous if its true. Might just use loctite 515

A GTR would have top feed injectors.

To clean and test flow your injectors, it's about $40 per injector. Six injectors make it about $240. I would say that $180 is a good price to get them cleaned and tested.

And it's a good idea to get new o-rings when you put your injectors back in. Some have got cheap o-rings from supercheap auto and they've leaked. They recommended genuine Nissan items.

I'm not too sure about your others questions mate.

leave the plenum on

just remove the two bolts that hold the fuel rail in

you also have to remove the breather hose that gets in the way and all associated vacuum and fuel hoses (obviously)

Removal and install is too easy.

Common practice is to get them flowed, then place the highest flowing ones in at the rear to combat the unequal plenum flow. Agree with ^^ above, OEM rings and insulators as AM ones have leaked on me before. Little pit of petroleum based lube on install to keep them supple.

Cheapest inst always best. I have heard / seen some dodgey operations, with home made inj pulsing units and apprentice mishandling. Also please keep in mind they 18yrs old and new direct fitments SARDs are like $110 each

Ta

$580 delivered from nengun for Sards thats extremely cheap.

Sard also have a lot of their range in twin sprays now. Of which I've seen a set of 800cc twinspray sards work extremely well at idle/low rpm; excellent atomization and great fuel economy. I was a little skeptical from the old sard single spray squirters. :thumbsup:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
