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

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.

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
