as topic suggests, just have a few questions regarding the install of my 80lb siemens injectors.

1) first of all if you look at pics "install" and "install1"... is this how it is meant to be installed???

2) second of all the seals or o-rings... the set came with metal ones with a small rubber ring. when i replace the existing rubber ones with them there seems to be just metal to metal contact and no a tight fit/seal, also the when i use the metal ones provided the bolt the is meant to be used to reinforce the rail and injectors is not long enough as the injector stick out more. please refer to pics "seals" and "seals1"

can someone confirm that it is ok to use the existing rubber ones as the injector fit fine into them and they seem to seal everything much better, also the injector are able to go further in and the rail can be bolted down.

3) third.. if you look at pic "Fuel rail" there are holes on either side and one on top in the middle. am i correct to assume the the one on top is the inlet for fuel and i block off one of the side ones and use other for the fpr, or do i block of the top and use the sides as inlet and for fpr OR does is not matter how i go about it.

thanks in advance for your help

the injector bosses that go into the manifold should have o rings. the injectors should have o rings to. was it from "clean injection" off ebay? i got that kit. ps. you need to use a good sealing washer on the -6 fittings in the rail, as mine leaked.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
