Ive just chucked some injectors in my R34 Gtt, these one's: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-skyline-NEO-r34-Stegea-350z-370z-infinity-g35-bosch-750cc-Fuel-injectors-/180959307948?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a2203e8ac

Now my question is, they seem to have a lot of movement? Like i can twist them now their installed? Is this because they are to small? I measured them as best as i could and the length and diameter seemed right? Or do most new injectors have a little movement? No up and down or side to side, just i can twist them. They were tight into the rail and head.

Just a little concerned before i pressure the system up and spray fuel everywhere.

Cheer's.

I d the same issue and when JEM pumped fuel up to it they leaked, they ended up changing the O rings to the correct size... (the workshop that fit mine were retards)

I installed some Deatschwerks injectors into my GTT recently, they were very tight with the supplied o-rings. Sounds like you might have an issue.

Sorry I just read you original post properly - I could twist mine with a bit of force (they were tight in all other dimensions of movement though).

Maybe you will be ok :) Did you use lots of grease or oil when installing them into the head?

Oh wicked. That means it has to all come apart again :verymad:

Yeah i used some rubber grease i was recommended. Ive got a few other jobs half way through before i feel comfortable priming the fuel system, will try and knock them off and try it with a extinguisher handy. Wouldnt be so bad if the stock manifold wasnt such a carnt to get off and i never tried em till i'd put it back on :( FML.

Just to clarify, you actually do want a bit of movement in there. They shouldn't be solid. You should be able to rotate them with your thumb and forefinger, but they should feel firm, not loose. If you tighten them up more than that then you may pinch/warp the seals.

Thanks for the input guys. They are firm, dont just free-wheel if you know what i mean. The other issue is i cannot re-use the injector retaining clips due to the spacer design.

Aaaah its been to long in between playing with cars ive forgotten everything! Damn kids!

Sounds like they are ok then mate. My old Power Enterprise injectors didn't use the retainer clips either and they were fine. So long as the rail is solid and the injectors are firm, you should be ok :thumbsup:

So these never leaked when I primed them with the stock pump. Have since installed a Walbro and wired it with a proper 12v supply.

Finished everything on it today and went to start it and the extra pressure from the Walbro and they leaked.

Fook!

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
