Im pretty sure the electrical connector on an injector doesnt have a polarity, is that right???

When installed in the fuel rail the electrical conector faces the block...correct?

Stick with me there is a question in here somewhere.

Now the plug means there is only one way to connect back up, so no drama there, only i have to splice into the loom between the power supply and the injector.

According to the wiring diagram, one electrical spade of the injector connection goes to the ECU, the other from the 12V battery/starter motor/alternator.

If someone can tell me which spade (A or Z on the attached picture) runs to where, then you can save me having to do trace the wiring thru the car, calling for the removal of all the electrical insulation around the std wiring.

Thanks for any help you can provide :P

PS yes i know the injector in the picture is not suitable for an RB, but it gives a good view of the connection i am referring to.

I dont think it'll make a difference, as all the ECU is doing is rapidly opening and closing the circut.... But sorry, I couldnt find anything in my workshop manual about polarities. (altho it is a 200SX) so would assume it should be ok either way.

Roy, when I did my injectors, a mechanic mate who was helping me at the time said just make sure I connected the power to one contact, and the signal to the other - I was told at the time it didnt matter which way, but do them all the same way, ie, power to A and signal to Z or vice versa. Seems to be working so far:)

But i have to wire a resistor pack in line with the injectors. Now irrespective of where i solder the resistor pack, as long as the ECU see the right impedence then i should be right...but the GTR has it wired between the injector and power supply, so would like to do the same in case there is an issue with damaging the injectors by having the resistors downstream instead of upstream.

Making sense? Doesnt matter i have surrended this weekend to get it done

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
