Hey everyone I know this has been covered before I'm not asking if they fit I'm asking is there tuning issues because of the jet spray? Also what other high impedance injectors will fit? I'm on a budget and nit keen on spending a g on injectors also not to keen on cutting the loom to put a resistor in but if a have to I can

Cheers in advance

Here is some advice that wont help you f**k all. Everyone is on a budget. I budgeted $15k on driveline for mine. If you aren't keen on spending a g on injectors then you will really hate spending the other 5 g needed to make your car go fast.

Here's some advice that will help you. There is a seller on ebay called 1sickgt and they supply refurbished injectors. They have a better spray pattern than standard, a warranty, almost any size you desire and they are around the $500 mark to your door. They will refund you $60 if you send your old stuffed injectors in. Oh and they fit right in to your stock rail.

To answer your question, I have no idea but google seems to work pretty good.

the only tuning issue is with the std ecu (rechipped) that doesnt handle the idle too well. PowerFC handled them no worries with my 3lt, giving 10L/100kms average. Im not sure what they would do with a nistune though, might be best to speak to the tuner.

The rechip probably didn't have a good latency value in it for the 550s, hence the poor idle. You should be able to get a better result with Nistune. The main thing with the 13B injectors I thought was that they do have a fairly crappy spray quality so they're not as nice as any of the bazzillions of other options out there.

Iv already spent 4 on turbo and the rest I just need injectors to suite as I'm putting a td06-20g turbo on with 17 psi through it and the stock injectors just can't hack that. I don't see the point in spending a g on injectors for a street car with the ocational 1/4 mile. I'll try and get onto the bloke that rebuilds the injectors that's for the help. I prob should of listed mods sorry about that

6x 10ohm 10W resistors from Jaycar, some wire, some heatshrink, a diecast ally box.

I used one big fat power feed into the box, split to the 6 resistors with 6 individual wires out. Traced back the common injector power feed in the loom, cut it and fed to the resistor box. I also traced back all the injector earths, fitted a 6-pin plug and made a whole new injector harness with brand new Bosch plugs.

Some people wire the resistors into the harness and be done with it, personally I think that's well dodgy. I put the resistors in a stack of 3x2 with gaps in between and ally shims top, middle and bottom. I used thermal paste on all contact surfaces between resistors, ally shims and ally case. Just make sure you heatshrink all exposed wires so they can't contact the case.

Yeah I had a look around and I picked up sone denso Injectors for 450. I had the option of 600cc or 750cc as that's all they had in stock both come with low pulse width and are high impedance just need to replace plugs which one will be better iv put a deposit on a set but can easily change up for the same price would 750 be to big? I was told that there are very easy to tune to requirements plus leaves me with plenty of head room in the future especially if I want to upgrade engines I will be getting them on Tuesday so input would be very appreciated cheers

Looks very nice but how long did that take? And how much.

Might be worth spending the extra little bit on drop in injectors

Which bit? The resistor box would have been no more than 2hrs max start to finish with plenty of smoke breaks. Probably the same again for the harness but that was done in a couple of stages (leader lengths weren't determined and plugs weren't fitted until plenum was finished).

Total cost for resistor box and harness would have been not much more than $50 (resistors, ally box, wire, heatshrink, conduit, grommet, new injector plugs and 6-pin/1-pin earth/power plugs for the harness).

I've spent $$$ on injectors before and for the current goals I couldn't justify it when I could install fresh 440s for a fraction of the price of an aftermarket solution. I now also know the injector wiring is all mintox ;)

I just wanted the ease of dropping in and tuning and it worked out around the same price by the time injectors are cleaned and I buy all the required parts it's around 400. Just got to shop around and not but the first ones you see

Well you will pay for convenience and sometimes I do just that but the GTR injector upgrade cost me a grand total of ~$160 (had to get some new o'rings too).

Hopefully the handy DIY'ers out they realise it's not rocket doctory and this gives them some motivation to have a bash :)

I think it's a great idea of using factory parts there is nothing better as they are made for the car Nissan spent tones of money to get it right but it is convenience that wins most of the time just because it's easy

For me nowdays it's generally convenience>customer service>price, but if I can do it myself for a lot cheaper (and time permitting), I'll give it a bash.. at least that way I know which corners have been cut :P

Yeah I know what you mean iv built this car on my own it's more satisfying but I'm running out of time I need it done I would of liked to use gtr injectors but wasn't sure how many kw they can handle so I just went the easy option that I know will work

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
