Hey,

Planning on installing GTR injectors into my rb20 this weekend and wanted to know how straight-forward it is.

Ive been reading up a couple of threads but majority of them are cluttered with useless jibba-jabba :D

Ive read the best way is to remove the top part of the plenumn to get easy access to the injectors.

Ive purchased the following from a Nissan Dealer; Are these the only gaskets needed?

N1617553J00 Gasket - Throttle Chamber - $18.00

N2378540F00 Gasket - AAC Valve - $3.40

N1403272L01 Gasket - Intake Manifold - $13.60

My injector cleaner workshop said to place grease around the rings when pushing the injectors onto the fuel rail. Ive heard some grease can eat rubber? Which grease is best to apply to create a tight seal.

Does anyone have pictures of where the GTR Resistor pack was fitted in the engine bay in their r32 rb20?

Anyone have photos of the wiring to the resistor pack and any tips on how to easily determine which wire?

Also any other tips / hints when installing gtr injectors :)

I'll update this thread after Saturday with some progress pictures to help people in the future.

edit; Ill be doing the work in wheelers hill, victoria. If you've done the wiring before and are willing to give us a hand, please PM me :yes:

Thanks

Patrick

i mounted mine on the opposite side above the brake booster, so it was away from any extra heat,

i also replaced my injector wiring plugs with some new ones as the rb20 ones are slightly different to GTR ones but with some filing they can fit, this was also cause the old plastic had turned a bit brittle over age and another thing the new ones had a spring style clip so you didn't loose the little wire retaining clip.

You should use vaseline as the lube for your o rings,

The power wire from the resistor i just took strait to the battery but installed a fuse in the line, this also give a good decent 12'v for you injector power

and as soon as you strip the insulation off the injector wiring the wires become a bit more obvious, and you don't have specific wires out of the resistor to join to specific injectors as long as you join all six wires to each injector.

I dont think you can but them separate.

you can get the coil pack loom separate

AFM/injector etc i think is full loom only, i could be wrong but i know AFM is full loom only... ripe pain in the ass.

Full loom is only $770 though, i know as im buying one tomorrow :)

Decided to try and put in the injectors this weekend. Some tips for people doing it in the future.

- Much easier to install injectors if manifold is pulled off.

- No need to pull off throttle body, leave it attached to manifold and just remove the cross over pipe etc

- There is 12 bolts holding the manifold, 6 you can see easily near the strut tower, the other 6 are deeper under the manifold.

- Manifold gasket will rip when removing manifold, and will need to scrub it off (took me 30-40mins with a razor blade)

- With manifold pulled off, easier to remove the fuel rail and old injectors.

- 3 injector connectors are on main loom and another 3 are on a smaller loom connected by a plug to the main loom.

- GTR injectors wont fit onto the rb20 injector connector's because the gtr injectors have 2 extra plastic notches.

- Can either trim off the notches or order GTR injector connectors from Nissan (As you wil be cutting the power wire from each connector to wire in resistor ballast, may as well just wire up new gtr connectors)

Here's a picture of what im up to haha

Will update later with resistor ballast wiring.

Ok. This is slightly off topic but here goes.....

I bought a set of GTR injectors for my RB20 and I was told that they have been modified to RB20 ohm.

Is this feasable or has someone just told me a load of bullshit???

If is is possible, how can this be tested?

Thanx.

Don't you mean plenum (or Nissan terminology, "collector"), rather than intake manifold?

You don't need to pull the manifold off.

cheers,

sam

Thanks for help.

Did you buy your injector wiring plugs brand new? Any idea on what Nissan would charge for them?

cheers

Nah mine were generic ones from a shop in Hobart called Automotive Service Solutions, i'm guessing there would be a place similar to this where you are

yeah. my mechanic supplied me with some generic connectors which are perfect fit on the gtr injectors.

Also my rb20 plugs were all rusted inside and green from corrosion! One of them had barely any connection.

In order to wire the resistor ballast, i first tried to determine which 1 of the 2 wires to each plug was the voltage (which connects up to the other 2 plugs through the loom)

By setting the multimeter to resistance and putting the probe in one of the injector plug and then into the second injector plug you can search until the value on the screen shows 0.8~

This means that there is a resistance because both of them are connected somewhere inside the loom.

Hopefully that makes sense, ill try revise it after i get my car running :thumbsup:

Okay, i made this quickly in MSPaint, hopefully it will be easier to explain.

Basically, you can work out the linked connections without stripping apart the whole loom.

Just use a multimeter to try and find a closed loop. Also by using the 12v going to the loom (injector 4,5,6) it saves the hassle of stripping the main loom to find it.

Will have car put back together tomorrow and hopefully it will all start. haha

Hopefully the below makes sense

Cheers

Oki pulling up an old thread due to talking about the same stuff in another topic which had nothing to do with it!

This is properly the smart way to do this and most likely will be doing it soon!

Q1: How much did the gasket cost that you ripped? do you have a part number?

Q2: How much is the ballast resistor? can we get some pics? so i can just go to the jap wrecker local and grab one ?

Q3: What did you use as lube for your seals? did you go with the Vaseline?

George :thumbsup:

Q1:

N1403272L01 Gasket - Intake Manifold - $13.60

Purchased from Nissan Dealer. Took a day to arrive.

Q2:

GTR Resistor ballast

22698-05U10resistor.jpg

Justjap sells brand new for $210

http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17524

Chop the plug off, and you will have 7 wires. (6 injector wires and 1 power wire, which is probably the yellow colour one)

Q3:

Are you talking about the injector seals before pushing them onto the fuel rail? I cant remember what I used. When i picked up my cleaned injectors, the person mentioned something to use but I have forgot haha

Hope the above helps.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
