Sorry to dig up an old thread but it's all relevant :( I'm after the same set of plugs, but I can't seem to find any. I tried Coventry's on someone else's advice but they don't have any. I also tried ringing a couple of Mazda wreckers but they had none either.

Does anyone know where I can get them from in Sydney and roughly how much I should be paying? I'll try a few more wreckers in the meantime.

Edit: I'm going to try Findapart.com.au and see what happens.

Around $80 each is around average I guess. $100 isn't too bad. $50 is the "buy it now" price.

Update on my situation: I found a Commodore wrecker that has some plugs (for $5 each) but I didn't have time to get around there today. Maybe next week.

So they're not the same as Commodore plugs? Where do you get the "2 female pins" from? When I had a look a few days ago it seemed the pins on my clip are already approximately the right size and shape, just the clip was stopping them going on. So if I just remove the old clip and push the pins in, then silicon it up, that should work?

I did mine with pins I bought from Mitre10. I am not sure if the plugs are the same as Commondore ones. Use another set of wires approximately 3" long. Connect it to the new female pins. Test the resistance between the new terminals. If ok, squeeze silicon inside the injector socket and wait for it to dry completely. Connect the 3" long wire to the standard injector loom. You can choose to remove the old injectors plug or hide it somewhere. Preferrably water prove it in a tiny plastic bag. It is important to test the connectivity or it will be too messy to clear those silicon out of the way! Good luck

Unfortunately there are a few different plugs, series 4 injectors are the same as GTR and rb20 ones, the series 5 ones are different, ive been told they may be the same as rb25 ones but i cant be sure they look similar on the fuel rail, anyone have any pics of some or some for sale.  

Unfortunately the places im sure will have some are on holidays till the 6th so i may have to wait unless i can find some.

I doubt they are the same as RB25. I have seen those rx7 series 5 injectors. High impedance and top feed. If SR20 uses the same plugs as RB25 then they are not the same. The plug shape is slightly the same as the SARD 550cc injectors (oval). The 2 side grooves for the plug to slide in is slightly off tho.

Damn, I got off work early today and I forgot to go to the Commodore wrecker to see if they fit. I'll try to remember to go this weekend. My injectors look virtually the same as sil21jun's (but from that angle it's hard to tell if they're exactly the same).

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
