Hey all,

Well I got my injectors seated into my rail and I reused my old O rings. I did not fit them into the car yet though. After reading, alot of people are saying not to reuse the O rings.

Problem is I cant find them and apparently Nissan charge half a penis for them.

To confirm, are these the parts I need?

"O-RING HOU LWR" - 16618 - 53J00

"O-RING HOU UPR" - 16618 - 10V05

Ive still got the rubber seats and the spacer shit, I just need to small and big O rings.

I found a few shops on eBay selling sets for silvias(in 4's) for a pretty decent price(I recall 10.60 for the item + about 10 on post). Is that my best option?

These are the links, if anyone can confirm these are the parts I need ill hassle the seller to make me a kit of 6.

Also found some EFI shop in Melbourne which I contacted but not too sure if they got the parts I need. If anyone has dealt with them or what ever, please let me know.

Yeah it's sad Nissan charge either 6 or 8 dollars a seal which is f*ken ridiculous you could try efi performance they do seals can't remember how much tho also places like auto barn sell generic injector seals you take your old ones down an they match them up I payed 2 dollars a seal from there

The o-rings are a special type that doesn't break down over time with fuel hitting it. That's the reason they would be expensive. I re-used my old ones on my nismo 555's purely because it was Christmas and I would be without a car for a few days without injectors. No leaks so far, but I have a front facing plenum so if they do leak it's not hard to take them out and fix them.

If your desperate you can check your current o-rings for defects and if they appear ok then they may (I'm not saying definitely) should be ok to re-use

What to look for. Make sure there are no cuts, pinch marks, tears etc etc anything really that makes you worry either don't use it or put up a photo.

The o-rings should be a bit soft. Fuel o-rings are a little harder then some o-rings but if you can squish it a bit it should be fine. If it's rock hard and doesn't stretch etc then it's no good.

That is if you want to re-use what you have. It's a pain to fix if it goes wrong and you have a standard manifold but lol. Id keep that in mind

In the case of rubber, when I was talking to my mechanic (nissan specialist), he said the difference between genuine Nissan rubber (cam seals in particular as I had him do my 100k service) and aftermarket rubber (Gates) is significant. The Nissan cam seals are nice and soft whereas the aftermarket cam seals are rock hard, I'm not saying which is better for that cam seal application (hard vs soft), just pointing out quality difference what is supposed to be the same part.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
