I have a question

When i was removing my standard injectors to install my nismo 555cc injectors (about 6months ago) i damaged one of the little plastic caps on the spraying end of the injector (not exactly sure what it is called), i must have hit it on something as the whole cap broke off.

Im wondering will this affect the performance/functioning of the injectors, to me it looks like the plastic cap is designed to create a certin spray patern, correct? or will it be fine to put it back in the car without the cap?

Reason is i want to return the car to completly stock and sell it, so any help would be great :down:

Heres a pic of the little plastic cap on the end of the injector that i am talking about, and yes i know this is a picture of a nismo 555cc

It's called a pintle cap.

Not absolutely necessary for function but it may not run correctly without them. Can't say I've done the test without them so it's hard to say.

Call you local mobile injector cleaner guy. He will keep them on board and they cost about $1 each

hehe, i broke like a few of the stock ones getting them out.. Learnt my lesson and made SURE my 740's went in very very carefully!.. One thing dude if ur pulling them out make sure u replace the seals.. Nothing worse than pinching an old one puttin em back in and it filling a cylinder with fuel.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
