Cant remember if ive posted it in here before;

This is the method I came up with for the GTR injector wiring. Much easier than the explained method in this thread!

Pretty much, find the common 12v wire using a multimetre and wire directly off the plug. Saves the effort of stripping back all the wiring etc

thanks rekin!!yeah thats a top diagram..

i'm not using the gtr ballast resistor just 6 individual resistors..

so pretty much just putting the resistors on the positive wire before each injector.

or rolls, you think it shouldn't matter either on pos or neg.?could you explain?

cheers!

What a resistor does is it causes a voltage drop and hence drops the current flowing through the circuit, as the current is the same for all elements in a loop (battery > injector driver > injector > resistor > battery ground) and the aim is to lower the current to stop the injector driver burning out it doesn't matter where in the circuit it is placed, it will have exactly the same effect.

also. when fitting the actual injector.did people remove the O ring on the bottom of the gtr injector, so the fuel rail can screw in all the way (the gtr injectors seem real tight)?

there already is a rubber seal in the head of the rb20, because the stock injectors dont have this O ring attached to the injector itself.

ok i'm putting r32 gtr injectors into my rb25det & i've noticed the bigger/bottom O rings on the engine side (NOT the fuel rail side), the O ring hole is to large for the injector to sit in place! so what O rings should i use the rb20 or gtr O rings?

cheers luke

You also need an aftermarket fuel rail as they are top fee, I got some custom spacers machined up personally for the bottom so they would fit.

yeah thats already done. just trying to work out ow to get them to fit properly.... what did your spacers look like? can you pm me a pic by any chance?

It's some really fancy fabric electrical tape that my auto-eleccy mate gave me.

I grouped them into 2 layers of 3 resistors, cut some ally to use as spacers/heatsinks. Ally spacers on the bottom, in between and on top of the resistors. Used thermal paste between it all and taped either end and longitudinally with the fabric tape (also acts as a damper to take up the minimal slack between the assembly and the case) then thermal pasted the exposed ally top and bottom so that the case can be used as a heat sink too.

I was quite concerned with the assembly moving around and any exposed wires contacting the case (hello fire). The fat power feed to the resistors I stripped back quite far, split it into two and ran three resistors to each with all exposed wire heat shrunk all the way to the resistors.

I have made a new loom just for the power feeds to the injectors, just need to extend the original injectors earths and then crimp the plugs on. My autoleccy mate sourced me some brand new Bosch plugs with seals and boots to suit the GTR injectors and let me borrow his terminal crimper :D

hey mate ive just acquired some 33gtr injectors to go into my rb20 what resisters did you use? as i want to make one as well.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
