hi i bought an engine and put it in from SSS automotive and i didnt know u should put ur old injectors in the new engine or get the new 1's cleaned since they would have stuff dried out in them. nehow i was told the old petrol has dried up and now since they have had new fuel in them the old stuff went sticky and blocked them

neways i got a dyno and they told me my injectors are playing up and need cleaning...

so i was thinking im taking the head of my car tomorrow and i wanted to know is there some way i can clean my injectors when i take them out at home,

cause it would save alot of money??

are you sure of this? i mean engines and injectors run for many 100,000kms without any cleaning or changing etc and they work fine

oh i forgot to say when i had it dyno'd they took out my fuel filter, it must have been that old the filter broke off its casing and all the stuff in it must have went through into the injectors

Yeah cleaning injectors is no problem if you have your own ultrasonic cleaner, maybe a jeweler could do it cheap their their ultrasonic cleaner, done by pros who does fuel injectors your looking at about 20-40 per injector cleaned.

Show me a 'pro' that uses an immersion ultrasonic cleaner to 'clean' fuel injectors and I'll show you a 'pro' to run a mile from. Using that type of cleaner WILL result in damage to the injector pintle valve (it's a type of wear damage and the technical term is false brinelling)

A 'pro' that knows what he is doing will use a dedicated injector cleaning bench in which a special cleaning fluid is passed through the injector as it is cycled using a dedicated controller (ie very similar to the job the engine ECU does). At no time is the injector body immersed in the fluid.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
