I am about to put some new injectors in my GTR and want to replace all the O-rings and insulators / seals on the injectors. I've done plenty of forum searching and have found some info, but now I also need clarification on part numbers. The 2 different sets of part numbers seem quite a bit different so I'm not sure if they are the same thing or not.

First set of part numbers -

Injector Insulators: 16635-78A00, 16618-78A00 (assume front/rear, but don't know which is which not that it matters)

Injector O-ring: 16636-V5000

I rang up Parramatta Nissan and Hornsby Nissan for the price of all the above times 6 (one per injector) and was quoted around $220 and $180 respectively in total.

Second set of part numbers -

Rear O-ring - 16412F - $9.50

Rear Insulator - 16603F - $13.35

Front seal - 16603G - $5.35

Total $169.20. I forget where from but the thread was a bit old anyway so prices have probably gone up since then.

Both of threads said the part numbers were for a GTR so I don't know if they are the same thing with different part numbers or if someone is wrong or if there is a difference between 32-33-34 GTR's. I doubt the latter would be the case though.

Even the cheapest option above is a holy hell of an amount for 18 tiny pieces of rubber. Does anyone know the exact measurements of the 3 parts so that I could enquire at a fuel injection place for some after market replacements? This is just due for convenience so that I don't have to pull an injector out before I do my running around to find the replacements. Also are the insulators just standard O-rings as well? They look like O-rings in the photos I've seen but they could be a different shape (squared off maybe) or a different type of rubber.

Lastly does anyone know of a fuel injector place in Sydney that would be able to sell these things at a reasonable price? I

Hey Jim, we looked all over Aus aftermarket and couldn't find anything to suit. Even the rear o-ring took us ages to find something that matches OK, even then it is a little narrow.

front seal is similar to rx7 series 4 but not quite right either.

rear seal is more like a spacer you could run anything that is the right width and a snug fit. But since we had to buy the other 2 bits we went nissan for these too.

Part numbers and costs as follows:

Injector O-Rings	SEAL-O RING		  NI-16618-78A00		$7.40 ea	 x 6 = $44.40
Injector seals	  INSULATOR-INJECTOR   NI-16635-78A00		$10.39 ea	x 6 = $62.34
Injector seals	  INSULATOR			NI-16636-V5000		$4.18 ea	 x 6 = $25.08

All prices are trade. Add a little bit for retail prices.

After Duncan's post I bit the bullet and bought the set (at full retail from Hornsby Nissan for around $167), and also thanks to Sewid for putting up the part numbers he has, basically outvoting my second list of part numbers so I could confidently ask for the first list.

I put the new injectors in last night without a hitch and they are working great!

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
