I am planning on fitting GTR injectors to my 32 GTST but am having trouble chasing up a ballast resistor. I have heard before of homemade devices being made, consisting simply of 6x10ohm resistors. Has anyone done this or does anyone have any information? Also at what power level do std RB20 injectors need replacing? I have heard stories mentioning anywhere from 170-250 rwkw. I do not want to do them unnecessarily at this stage. I am aiming for 200kw

All you need to do is buys 6 high quality ceramic 7-10 ohm resisters from farnell and solder them in series with the injector driver outputs on the ecu loom. I did this for both my brother r32 and my r32 and neither have had issues.

I soldered the resistors just past the ecu plug in the cabin. Works a treat. Farnell resistors they are alot smaller than the jaycar ceramic ones so installation is easer and neater.

I'll look up the part number tonight and post it then.

Not actually in any mad rush now. Was planning to fit injectors before next tune but due to overspending on other items its not going to happen now. Aiming for about 200rwkw & a lot of people seem to be making that on stock injectors pretty easily... Like to keep things on the safe side but so will definitely keep it in mind.

im making 191rwkw, and have only upped my fuel pressure from 38psi to 50psi. i have seen the option 1 garage drift car make 228rwkw on standard injectors

only?? that means at 16 psi, you are running 77psi of fuel pressure, hope you have a good pump

Ive done the resistor mod, they are smalll small resistors that you solder into the line just before the injector, been running it for a while now with a drift day included and havent had one problem, simply threw them onto the common wire (white with black stripe), roy does a DIY on this forum....

You may aswell upgrade to gtr items now if your planning big mods down the track

$25 delivered VS $170 2nd hand is a big improvement

    • Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?
    • Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.
    • Saruthewhite hasn’t been on our site since November 2016 sorry mate
    • Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
