i got a set of freshly recon'd 550cc purple tops off ebay and just wondering if any one knows much about them. i have heard if your fuel is rich in ethanol it can cause damage. i only every put 98 octane in my car so will this be a problem??? anyone with a set? im hoping that it is just an over exageration

What motor is this going on? NEO or R33 RB25?

And no ethanol does not harm injectors. (forgot to answer this earlier) The mythology is, that ethanol corrodes old fuel lines. Realistically this is a non event for most skyline users anyway, really only a variable if you run an E85 setup, and even then there arent THAT many rubber hoses to replace in the car anyway.

What colour is std, I thought purple was std???

Mines a '98 R33 and I've got yellow tops= nismo 555's and they flow like that as well - they were on the car already from Japan, but I'm sure that purple tops were the std colour in '98 rb25's??

Purple is stocko for RB25, but it looks to be a different purple again lol.

If I were you, the risk is too big, why muck around with all that. Snap up a second hand set of nismo 555s or 740s for 700 bucks, plug and play.

They are top feed injectors in the pics. They are definitely not stock RB25DET side feed injectors regardless of the colour.

On another note, I had Denso 550cc injectors in my GTR when I first bought it and I'm pretty sure they were purple!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
