The only free time I've got to do this is after hours or weekend, which makes it hard for me to get them flow tested

5 out of 6 injectors have never met a fuel rail before before so no real point in cleaning it.

Although one was installed/ used for "photo shooting purposes" by the guy who sold it to me, I've put that one on cyl 1 for in case

Thanks Scotty but unfortunately I'm in Sydney

that said once I get this sorted and get some cash flow back again I will need one of your famous intake pipes before I visit Toshi

did too many things in one go and haven't been able to drive the car for almost 3 weeks is a pain

Lol

I'd love to but I don't think I'd be able to handle the amount of custom work required to convert them to top feeds

In saying that I'd be interested to see how you go with those Siemens

It is pretty easy to get the short 40mm Xspurts in there using a proflow/Aeroflow rail kit. All you need to do is shorten the supplied rail spacers, or I should be able to make you some standoffs soon.

Why didn't you try swap injector 1 to cylinder 2 and injector 2 to cylinder 1 to see if the issue follows the injector or if it stays on the injector channel?

Also interesting to see the Nismo injectors have jacked up price since I bought mine. That's interesting.

Scotty- am planning to go down that route if the spare injector I ordered still doesn't fix it

Sarge- yeah thought about that, just trying to avoid having to pull the rail out again in my apartment carpark and make the area smell like petrol

plus some of those "senior" residents are quite power trippy here, they can get quite annoying

Lol

they are amazing - there's no custom work to fit shit.. unless you call running new fuel hoses & mounting an external reg custom.. didn't have to relocate anything at all.. I even bought plug and play adapters so I didn't have to hack the harness.

Now to the fun part, the car idles so well I decided to lean it out to 15.7 AFR (gasoline scale) - I'm on E85 so it's ok.. however still no signs of popping and farting.

Man new age injectors are just magnificent!

I've measured up the spacers and shit and will pass the dimensions to scotty_nm35 to mock up on his test kit.. taken heaps of photos too

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
