If you mean the plastic pintle cap, replacements can be bought cheaply from injector specialists.

Perhaps post up a pic if you can. Most Nissan injectors have a small plastic cap ('pintle cap') at the manifold end of the injector. Part of it's purpose is to provide a sealing surface against the injector to manifold o-ring. They can crack and fall apart with age and heat, but are easily replaced.

I am led to believe that the pintle caps affect the spray pattern of the injector. If it is broken then I would suggest getting replacement items. They shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg.
