Help! Wanting To Replace My Injectors In My R31 (Rb30)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!!

Just wondering if anyone out there could tell me exactly how to replace my injectors. I'm putting standard ones back in. My car is running like crap an was told they need to be replaced. I am female and do not know a lot so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you. :)

Unplug the wiring and then unbolt the fuel rial and remove the fuel lines and pull them out. A bit of fuel will spill out when disconnected. They just sit there held in by the fuel rail. You might have to remove the manifold if it is in the way. You will need to get the same size that is in there all ready. If you have aftermarket ones and you put stock ones back in without a tune it will run even more crap. Make sure the plugs for the wiring is the same. If they are aftermarket they could of been cut and modified.

It's not a hard job but if you don't know much about engines I would give it to someone to fix.

The old VL injectors had rubber hose on the feed, not sure about the R31 injectors but the VL ones looked like a pain to change without the common fuel rail.

It's not something you want to get wrong...

Seems like an easy job, but if you say that I can't make a mistake then maybe I will he someone to help or just give it to someone to do for me. Thanks so much for your helps guys. Ill have a look an if I think ill stuff it up ill get someone else to do it. Thank you! Your help is much appreciated :)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
