Mot sure if this is the right place to post this up, but I bought a set of 550cc injectors n they were close to impossible to install, had to modify them to fit them n just giving u guys out there a heads up to stay clear n maybe spread the word. His eBay user name is - clean-injection. The item number I bought was 170855484984. And before u all go why did u buy off eBay blah blah, u live u learn, my mistake is ur gain.

Funny you say that I nearly bought from the same people

I asked them a million questions about injector physical size , they told me it'll fit , there was no way the dimensions they gave me would fit

I never bought them due to that reason .

not all ebayer are bad, we have a ebay shop and 99% of customers are very happy. its probably better to do some research on the forum and see what actually does fit in though :yes:

I'd say this would he better in another section.

but, I bought my current injectors from a person on eBay.

based in the US, they were the most pleasent people to deal with, with fast turn around, great communication, and excellent service.

straight fit, plug and play.

as an example of the service:

sent them an email Christmas day here(christmas eve there), and had a reply within the hour.

had the injectors in my hands in less than 2 weeks.

and that's over the holidays.

so, some are good, some are bad.

I would definitely buy from these people again.

Yeah there's always gonna be good and bad I emailed this particular n made these were direct bolt in injectors to replace stock injectors, he sed yes but when I received them they were 11mm in diameter n way too short, when the stock ones are 10.4mm n slightly longer. In the end after drilling out a stock fuel rail to compensate we had to source other injectors that were the correct 10.4mm diameter n length. Just a massive headache. From taking it to a shop were it shouldn't taken 2 hours has now taken a week just to fit some damn injectors lol. Just a warning to be wary of this seller not the entirety of all eBay sellers :)

I had a similar case from a different eBayer

I asked if mine were a direct fit and obviously he said yes.

2 weeks later when they arrived they did not fit. I told him that it wasnt a direct fitment as mentioned and asked for refund. I had to take pictures of how they were different and send them.

He gave me a full refund and even covered postage both ways. I was happy with the refund but the time it takes to do all that was a waste.

Just buy quality injectors :)

I bought some injectors from a so called reputable dealer on eBay trying to sell fake injector dynamicss injectors. He convinced me that they were genuine, only to see that they were not ID's when they arrived. He accepted a refund but yeh a total waste of time. I later bought some ID injectors from a SAU trader and boy was there a difference.

Lucky I just read this, as I was about to buy some off of him next week.

I sourced some from a business on here instead.

Thanks very much for the heads up Marcus :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.

      Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
