after going head to head with a wrx with minimal mods on the freeway.

score even (even though i was short shifting)

i new something was wrong... not making enought power

one week later noticed that at part throttle car was hesitant so new there was something wrong

so sent it in to get the injectors flowed.

injector guy flowed them and before cleaning they were flowing 210cc. WTF

now that is ***in dirty

they r supposed to be 440

now the r clean the car goes like a gtr should.

havent taken it for a good run but i think a 55% inprovement in flow should make it hall arse again.

once again i can hapily destry most things on the road

moral get your injectors cleaned it doesnt cost shit

200

done a Grey imports at annendale(0419995150) in out with all new seals

not i pulled em out but busted the o- ring when putting em in so got my mechanice to get them cleaned and installed properly.

takes about 30 mins to pull out (dont know what im doing).

you should see how much harder it pulls not its like a new car

i like it

note my car didnt run for 2 months while i was away. i think that is where it really clogged up.

the injector guy said they were in a shocking state

get it done before you do damage to your engine is what i preach now

Just a bit curious if any of you guys exactly how injection shops actually go about cleaninig injectors, what parts do they change, solvents used, etc.

I am thinking of doing it myself as i can obtain an ultrasonic bath for the cleaninig. I am just unsure of the procedure and if the ultrasonic bath cleaning is a good idea, as the high frequencies may actually make more damage that good to the coil....

Anyone know?

If not, can anyone recommend any trustworthy places and pricing?

Taking Injectors out of thr GTR is the easiest thing on this planet besides ****s.

I cost me $12.50 each to clean the injector plus only a small amount for labour to take out.

GTST are a bit harder but not by much.

As Pete Says. Its one of the best things you can do to your car.

That $12.50 includes new seals and all!!!

So when you go to do a cold start in the morning you will have full pressure in the lines and it wont stutter when you start because no fuel leaks into the engine when you dont start it for awhile.

Plus at least next time when you have a problem you can rule out it isnt dirty injectors or old seals.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
