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!

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
