hey guys,

long story short, i have bought a set of 6 s15 injectors of a SAU user, and now it seems that 2 of them are from an S14 and are ever so slightly different. have spoke to nissan and they havent got a clue on how to tell the difference. just wondering about getting them flow tested somewhere around in adelaide?

p.s, they are all a redish brown colour on top, but have different coloured tips. 4 are grey and 2 are a sorta olive greyish kinda colour. and the 2 odd ones also have different serial numbers on top to the other 4.

don't worry about the bottom of the injector. If the tops, where they plug in to the harness,are a reddish terracotta-brown then you should be right. just as long as they are not purple as they are 380cc stock skyline/s14 injectors. You'll probably find that if you try to get them flow tested they'll want anywhere from $20-$35 an injector as they'll sting you for a clean as well.

Someone was asking a few months back about red ones, but they were a alot brigher red than the dull red/terracotta colur of the S15's

Are the 2 odd ones extra bright in red colour?

I think the bright ones were from an auto s14 and were only like 270cc or something.

wolverine,

He didn't say he wanted them cleaned, he said he wanted them flow tested. Buy the time you buy the 6 injectors get them cleaned you may as well have bought new ones.

My injectors were not cleaned before installed. I checked the spray pattern all good, no leaks from the pintle under 60psi pressure, engine has a good idle, AFRs are safe, saved myself a heap of cash got the outcome, I wanted power on a budget, so I'm all for 2nd hand injectors, but thats just my opinion.

understand completely. When i first started my project i was going all out, and learnt futher on in the project to only pay for what i need. I was going to go for the nismo 555cc injector option but decided when i dont wanna push anything over 250kw at wheels, the 480cc s15 injectors would be fine.

By the way i have my car in turbo tune at the moment, they are going to flow test the injectors first then tune her up for me. Hoping they are all 480's :P

i don't see how saving $20-25 per injector (ie. $120-150) is saving a heap of money but if you are comfortable with end result then that's what counts.

you said getting stung for an injector clean and i wouldn't call it being stung. it's just my opinion that if they are handling them to flow test they might as well, for an incremental cost, remove the risk to engine damage.

    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
