Gday guys (an girls)

Well the GTR has been sitting in the garage for a bit to long now (injectors 5 & 6 are leaking to a point where it misfires and becomes undrivable).

So i went onto Nengun performance to order some Sard 700cc Injectors and they are now saying that they are discontinued, is this the case and does anyone over here do them for a price that was close to the $650 mark (price i got quoted to ship them over here)?

I might a well tell you the current setup to make giving advice a bit easier.

RB26DETT out of a R33

2x GT2860RS -7's

Yellow Jacket Coilpacks

And the current injectors are i think are Nismo Yellow 555cc

Its running 297rwkw's on 18PSI

Dont know much else about the internals except that its done around the 65,000Km mark

Now for the questions

Is it worth buying new injectors?

Can you rebuild these injectors?

Are the replacment SARD 800cc injectors overkill for my setup?

What im currently thinking of doing

Cant decide which one to buy

SARD - 800cc x6 - Top, Low Impedance, 2 Hole, Yellow - Green, Time 1.10 msec AU $ 675.86

Or just buy what it has already Nismo Yellow - 555cc X 6 Injectors AU $ 877.88

My other question is why would i pay around $200 more for 245cc less??????

I am looking at running the same power but would i be able to do this with the SARD 800cc injectors or would it end up overspraying the fuel being a 800cc??

I dont really know to much about injectors yet but would apreciate any advice

Sorry about the Essay size post i just like to give you guys the most information possible when asking advice.

Thanks in advance

There is a minor difference between the 700 & 800 - its spray pattern as the nozzle is different.

Apparently the 700's tune ever so slightly easier, but its not a show stopper.

HOWEVER i assume you have a tune that matches your 555's?

If so, simply getting 555's will be much cheaper than going for a dyno/retune by putting in different brand & size injectors into it.

Whilst they will cost more, it'll workout cheaper overall as its a simple replacement.

what ecu do you have? if your injectors are yellow you most likely have standard GTR injectors mate. I would say just buy a couple of standard injectors to replace the leaking ones, remove the other 4 as well and get the whole lot cleaned and flowed.

the sard 700cc injectors are a great injector mainly because the operate with a response time close to standard (0.65ms) the 800s are 1.15ms. it's not a big deal and it's generally the case that the bigger the injector the longer the lag time between open and closed (it's inevitable) but the sard 700s were (are) a good performer.

if you're making 297rwkw your standard 440cc injectors will be maxed but as long as you are happy with the set-up then by all means just replace them and leave it as is. if you change to ANY other injector size you will need the car re-tuned. yes if you slot in some 800cc injectors the car will badly overfuel hence the need for re-tuning.

Part number for yellow nismo 555's for RB26

no. they don't. that part is for RB25 SIDE FEED INJECTORS. which are yellow and are 550cc but ARE NOT RB26 injectors. RB26 injectors standard are yellow, are top feed, and are most likely what this dude has (as sean pointed out). very unlikely someone would convert their RB26 to side feed, high impedance injectors and then buy the most expensive injectors around to gain 110cc... it would be like a $1500 exercise when they could buy bolt in sard 700s for around $700.

I'm still wagering this bloke has stock ecu and stock injectors.

Nengun must be wrong then... Usually the part numbers are spot on.

Lists BNCR33 as that number for 555 :ermm:

Yeah, the leaking is a telltale sign.

Also BB I thought standard injector latency was 0.77, not 0.65....

fark you are challenging my memory!!! off the top of my head standard was 0.4X (0.4something) and sard 700s are 0.65. it's easy to find, plenty of tables around with lag time figures for common injectors.

Nengun must be wrong then... Usually the part numbers are spot on.

trust me they are wrong. there are no yellow 555cc top feed RB26 injectors I know of. that part number is definitely for the yellow nismo side feeds used on ECR33 RB25. nengun is actually wrong more often than you'd think with mix-ups between GTR/GTST etc. it happens to everyone a bit though.... people often assuming BCNR33 just = R33 etc.

you are right. standard RB26 is apparently 0.77. got me fked now how the sard 700s manage 0.65 but I remember it clearly having sold and fitted so many to various GTRs over the years. I could recite sard injector lag time figures in my sleep...

Sorry for the late reply guys,

to my knowledge it has some form of nismo ecu. I think I was the sort that replaced the factory one and not one that piggy backed.

As for the injectors I will have to pull one out for you and take some pictures so you all have a better idea. I'm pretty sure they were yellow ones. And yes I was told they were at there max so they prob are the factory ones.

So If I was to put the same ones in again I wouldn't need a retune?

And does anyone here have any good standard injectors for sale?

If so are they hard to install?

Cheers

Correct - you're replacing like for like.

Here's my DIY on GTR injector installation, its pretty easy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/285621-diy-gtr-injector-replacement/

nismo ecu or not you cannot change injector size without a re-tune and no nismo ecu is tunable here in aus (or anywhere else for that matter, they are set by nismo and that's it). 100% as long as you fit the same size injectors you have now you will not need a re-tune.

it's not hard to change injectors, basically release the pressure from the rail, then start unbolting stuff.

my advice would be pull out one of the working, non-leaking ones and get it cleaned and tested. shouldn't be more than $20 or $30 for 1 injector. they will tell you what it flows (i'm betting standard 440cc). if they are standard just buy some used standard ones, get them and the rest of your old ones cleaned and flowed too then install them. there should be plenty for sale in the for sale section. usually pretty cheap too. you can also use RNN14 GTI-R SR20DET injectors (no real advantage except they come in 4s so you don't have to buy 6). cannot use any other SR20 inecjtors though.

i bought the 700cc sards and they are direct drop in, i did not buy the 800cc sards as they use different plugs and i rather NOT rewire them if i have the choice and apparently the fuel rail spacing needs to be modified too

shame you cant get the 700cc's anymore? CJ motor stock them im pretty sure.. do some more hunting! :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
