Hello,

Looking for some advice on the above fueling combo.

I have a twin entry Tomei rail, and SARD 820cc injectors (lime). Garage phoned fee, fee emailed me so the info may be a bit skewed.

The connectors on the injectors have been trimmed to allow them to secure on without fouling the injector body.

BUT when it comes to fitting the injecors to the rail insitu the plug now fouls the rail, and tuner isnt confident the plug will stay if mounted the other way.

Anyone come accross this problem, they must have as its a tried and tested match.

You could always go back to the stock fuel rail :thumbsup:

Although interesting that it fouls the fuel rail, its it meant to be a replacement?

I know the SARD plugs need to be trimmed for GTR's, well, at least older models did as I have a suspicion I read something here stating that they don't any more (about 4-5 months ago)... but sorry I cant confirm that 100%

Ok. I'll add my two cents

I have just recently gone to a 11.0 Sard fuel rail (which should be the almost the same as your Tomei) with Sard 800 CC injectors. All i did was change the O - Rings to new ones. I didnt cut/modify or change anything else apart from that and everything seems fine!

Injectors are also lime green.

      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!

      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.
