In an attempt to track down a injector resistor ballast box I've decided upon asking nissan.

Before I do so, Where abouts is it located?

It's bolted to a bracket underneath the boost solenoid which is on the drivers side inner guard of the engine bay.

If it;s any help the part number is:

22698-05U10

That it is.

Second hand they appear to be quite expensive.

I gave Adelaide Jap a buzz and they quoted $175.

I said to the lady Nissan sell it for basically the same price and if thats the price they want to sell it for I'll send the extra few $$ and get a new one from Nissan.

As I was finishing off the word Nissan she hung up on me. :)

Damn fine idea that.

I made a resistor pack from Jaycar 10W 10ohm ceramic resistors. Worked fine for the 2-3km before the front turbo blew at 5psi (TT conversion on RB25)

My concern was longevity as the resistors were not as large an overall package as the OEM unit. I was considering ally spacers for heat sinking to counter that. Maybe 15-20W would be preferable but I don't recall seeing them on the Jaycar site.

yeah you would want it to be as reliable as possible, so im with you id get 20watt 10ohm resistors so that the the heat from the engine wont affect them, but resistors heat up heaps anyways. so how long has you gts-t actually ran the 10ohm resistors cos rowdyr32 says he used 7ohm resistors

I recalled finding the bands for the resistance for low and high impedence, and given I was using the toyota 440cc injectors I based it on impedance of them. I think the band for high impedence was 12-14ohm and they were 3.3 ohm. More resistance meant less current and heat for the PFC to deal with as the earth switching transistors are inside.

Unfortunately the front turbo blew 2 km after i did the TT and injector mods so I have no longevity basis for my mod.

I just measured. 2.0-2.1ohms so that means Gareth may have been letting the ECU see too much current. Then again that depends on the source for the impedence bandwidth being correct, and I believe it was Sydneykid.

What about one off a Z32 or even an MR30 , if the resistance is right the old stuff is common and cheap . In fact if you got one with its loom plug it would be neat and easily replaced if need be .

Funny you should mention as I have looked in to it and will get down to the local wrecker and or pull-it parts to check a few out. :D

why does the GTR use a stupid resistor pack anyway??

Why not:

a) make the injectors the correct impedence in the first place

or

B) design the ecu to accept the impedence off the bat

seems all a bit strange for Nissan to do it that way?? Must be a reason.. curious..

I have one from an R30 lying around, I believe it is the same resistance as the GTR type and will try to check if I get the chance. The conector is different tho. I've offered it to people looking for resistor packs, but they seem to want the specific type.

In the past I've also made up resistor packs for injectors using readily available heavy duty items from Jaycar (they come built into a heat sink). Still got some somewhere.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
