Hey,

So I was in the process of putting my Nismo 555 injectors back into my RB25 rail when I came across a couple that are being difficult, any way as I was out in the shed looking for my silicone spray my effing numpty of a brother in law decided to try and force it in with a pair of adjustable width pliers. :rant::rant::rant::rant:

He has managed to push the little cap in the centre of the injector down about 3 mm and then tried to pull it back out. Would this mean that the injector is now stuffed??

Good injector

Bad injector

Sorry about the picture quality I just took it with the iphone

If it is stuffed can anybody tell me if you can buy them singularly and point me in a direction on where to get them.

NOT HAPPY

Umm, let's just say he is no longer at my house and I don't think he will be back for a while.

I hope the pintle is nothing but I wonder if it has anything to do with helping control flow or something? Like does it move up and down?

Pretty sure those act like little valves and move up and down.the injector has a solenoid in it. That controls the injector opening and closing. It controls how far it opens. That thing there moves up and down to let fuel pass through. I think it's rooted dude.

Don't stress. I reckon it could be alright. Like Tazzy said get it tested. Put it in ya car and see if it works. If its broken get him to buy you a new one. Rule number one with assembly: If it wont go then check it, everything has its correct way of going together. There is a thread on injector installation on this site somewhere. All my injectors couldn't be pushed in by hand. Sargerx8 ya wrong mate it don't have no fuel up the top there, hence the term "side feed injector". And that bit aint a pintle fella's. Sounds like some blokes need to read up on how injectors are made and work :D

Spewing you let your brother in law have a crack hey?! Get it in the rail and try it man. It might work??? I don't know if it will or not. At the end of the day its not a lot of money to get a new one and if you have to wait a week to get it well that wont kill you. Waiting for car parts makes it all the more worth it when they arrive I reckon. Let us know how you go with whatever you try.

Didn't really let him have a crack at it, I was putting them in the rail inside (it's warmer in front of the fire) when I got a sticky bugger that wouldn't go in. So when I went outside to my shed to get the silicone spray he took it apon himself to have a go at it.

I spose he was just trying to help but still pissed me off, he is in no way mechanically minded so should've just left it alone but what can you do what's done is done.

Anyway I have some good news, I went for a drive down to UAS and showed the injector to Dave (T04GTR) and he has given it the all clear and said it's nothing to worry about.

Apparently the little metal peice is just something that is used in the molding/plastic injection process to give the machine something to hold onto when it's put into a die.

Dave also said he has seen them in MUCH worse states than mine (snapped of completely, bent & even missing altogether) and they still work fine so that's good to know. I trust his judgment as he has a very good rep and has built some wild engines so he knows whats what.

Oh yeah, 1 weeks wait is nothing ATM. The car has been on blocks since November and will still be for a little while yet ;)

Pretty sure those act like little valves and move up and down.the injector has a solenoid in it.

I asked the same question, they do have a solenoid in them but you can't see it from the outside. As I said above he has even seen injectors with that part missing and it hasny made a difference. If they where a top feed injector it would be a different story.

i just called it a pintle cause i didnt know what else to call it.. :unsure:

Hahaha me too, I just started copying you!

Sargerx8 ya wrong mate it don't have no fuel up the top there, hence the term "side feed injector".

I know they are side feed but they way they work is fuel coming in from the side and a valve moving up and down and the pressure in the fuel system will squirt the fuel through the nozzles. I never said fuel goes in from the top, I said its the top of a solenoid which moves up and down controlling fuel flow, which is correct.

If you disconnect the power to the injector, it wont push fuel out. Sure it will get fed into the side but the valve wont move up and allow fuel to be squirted.

The only part I guessed about is that part being a moving part but my concept is correct.

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
