Price is good. Theyre normally around $230ea.

Try out ebay as there is some good bargains on Injectors.

HKS 550cc new injectors - set of 6 at $950 (works out to $158 ea)

thanks richard...it's a pain in the neck because i only bought the car a couple of weeks ago and haven't driven it, now the injectors are leaking? might also need to get the clutch looked at (twin plate os giken), making a rattling noise at idle (and a bit too much bite for my taste - spins the wheels without trying). recommendations there would be great too...

No worries - before you replace the Injectors are you certain it isnt one of the two washers ($1 a set). Quite often ppl replace the injectors without changing the washers and it causes all sorts of greif (hey NiK).

I also have an OS giken twin plate on my GTR and she's great! No bite, no noise. It's like driving a family sedan.

I suppose what I am saying is it really does sound like yours is giving up the ghost. The symptoms you describe for the clutch it wont be long at all before replacement. I sufferd the same with my 32 GTS-T.

Hmmm - my thought is have it checked out by a clutch specialist. Pg 233 in the yellow pages. They will take it for a drive and give you the low down and a $figure to have it fixed, if needed. Mine cost $900 bucks to have a new one in the GTS_T.

I drove mine till it got too much to bear and was too slippy to drive affecting performance. No damage to anything else driving it like this while I saved up.

Another thought on the Injectors other than the o ring wahsers. You may want to have them cleaned and flowed if theyre in reasonable nick. About $50 bucks each I think from memory.

thanks heaps richard, for that. ok, will ask for the injectors in a bag to take home.

the irritating thing about the clutch is 1. how easily the wheels spin and 2. difficulty moving off from stationary without stalling.

did that $900 include the clutch?

i am looking forward to mucho gtr happiness after all this...

Your clutch sounds fine. Richard has the dampened version meaning its friendly to drive and doesnt make that god awful rattle. It sounds like you have the non-dampened version which is alot harder to drive and makes that rattling sound. Ask anyone what my car sounds like, im using a HKS un-dampened twin plate and when the clutch pedal is pushed in it makes a screaming really loud rattling, and when idling it clunks away. Its also next to impossible to get the car to move without wheel spinning or stalling... but after 6 months driving I did find the tinyest little sweet spot where it would go without complaining too much. Clutch was brand new and these are the symptoms it had. Put it in 5th gear and floor it, if the revs jump up alot its slipping and needs replacement otherwise it should be fine.

As for the injectors, I had leaking factory ones. They had been reco'd only 3 months before and started leaking again. I would toss them in the bin if they are leaking and just get new ones (those HKS are great value for the price, but if going up injector size you will need a re-tune to compensate for different lag times etc).

The problems caused with the new injectors in mine was due to a stuffed O-ring blowing out under boost causing an air leak which made the car missfire really badly. Took ages to find the culprit (3 months) until it was on a dyno and my mechanic saw it push up slightly out the corner of his eye. $2 later and the car was running the best it had in a long time.

Man I miss my car... :D

As Amaru said, Standard GTR injectors are 440cc and the ones you are looking at are 550cc. If you have a power FC no problemo but if u have factory management you car will be running hella rich. roughly 25% to rich!

Infact it may not even run with those injectors on factory management.

    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments   
    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
