Hey guys im going to be removing my injectors this week and just wanted to know the best way to get them out. As in do i have to take the plenum off or is it possible to get them out with it on. Also if i have to take the plenum off, can you get a gasket from nissan australia for one?

By the looks of the r33 injectors, all i have to do is get the 2 screws out and pop the injectors out.

Car is an R33 GTST.

Thanks, Mike.

Not that simple I'm afraid.

You can get them out without taking the plenum off but it usually takes the same amount in stuff around time if you do it that way anyway. The injectors need to be removed in a specific way. Take the caps off, turn them sideways (so they face the end of the rail) and then grab a LARGE screwdriver, place it between the base of the plug and the rail....make sure t's right in there...then twist. Out she pops. Repeat 6 times lol.

The tricky part is on re-install....you MUST drown the injector seals in lubricant and lube up the injector tubes (in the rail) otherwise you risk pinching the o rings. Don't forget to swap the old o rings to the new injectors or get some new ones. Place the injectors in their respective hole and push hard....if lubricated properly they should POP into place.

The gasket shoul dbe able to be re-used for the plenum if you unbolt it....it is made of rubber so give it a LIGHT coat of sealant on re-assembly.

Simpler is to simply remove the throttle body (after removing X-over pipe), then remove 3 bolts holding the rail in place.

I think, from memory, you need to pull some of the plumbing above #1, #2, but that will be obvious when you are doing it.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
