In a nut shell, in basic layman's terms.

The standard R32 GTR ECU is designed to have high impedance injector output.

To run low impedance injectors Nissan used the resistor pack to get around the ECU's high impedance output.

If your running a Haltech, cut and join all the 7 wires at the resistor pack and remove the resistor pack, then select VIA the ECU which injectors you want to run, high or low impedance.

thanks, is it true low impedance injectors have a faster reaction time over the high impedance ones or is this just horse shit lol cheers

For those wondering what the benefits are, perhaps google up "peak and hold".

It's all about how the ECU drives the injectors and how fast they open as a result.

the only useful information I found at first was pretty dated. stating that saturation-style injector design is maxed at 600cc/min.

Then I found what I was looking for here:

http://fuelinjectorclinic.com/faqs/#1

the common belief which still lingers today (though it is no longer correct) is that low-z injectors are the best for your high performance vehicle.

Today’s high impedance injectors, however, are able to outperform those older low impedance injectors at larger flow rates due to their newer designs, tighter manufacturing tolerances and much lighter moving parts. A valve and spring assembly from a current high-z injector may weigh less than 1/3rd of the assembly from an older injector.

Thanks to this newer technology the current high-z injectors are more linear throughout their pulse range; they are able to repeat shorter pulse widths consistently which means they can provide excellent part throttle and idle characteristics, and operate at higher maximum operating pressures.

I then wondered why would GTR's and GTiR's use resistor packs for low impedance injectors, when all the resistor pack does is reduce the current from the pulse?

The resistor pack is installed to ‘fool’ your ECU into thinking it is driving high impedance injectors. Vehicles that have low impedance injectors AND resistor packs have ECUs that use a saturated signal to operate low impedance injectors.

Most of the OE manufacturers that produced cars with low-Z injectors chose a “workaround” to using the low-Z injectors since it wasn’t cost effective to produce an ECU with the necessary circuitry and injector drivers to produce these P&H signals for the few high performance cars that needed it.

Did anyone even bother following my advice?

yes I did thank you it was informative although it did slightly contradict from what I have read previously about high impedance injectors being able to now run cooler as I had read they do run hotter due to the high voltage requirements. Edited by mr skidz

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
