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 :)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
