I am about to put some new injectors in my GTR and want to replace all the O-rings and insulators / seals on the injectors. I've done plenty of forum searching and have found some info, but now I also need clarification on part numbers. The 2 different sets of part numbers seem quite a bit different so I'm not sure if they are the same thing or not.

First set of part numbers -

Injector Insulators: 16635-78A00, 16618-78A00 (assume front/rear, but don't know which is which not that it matters)

Injector O-ring: 16636-V5000

I rang up Parramatta Nissan and Hornsby Nissan for the price of all the above times 6 (one per injector) and was quoted around $220 and $180 respectively in total.

Second set of part numbers -

Rear O-ring - 16412F - $9.50

Rear Insulator - 16603F - $13.35

Front seal - 16603G - $5.35

Total $169.20. I forget where from but the thread was a bit old anyway so prices have probably gone up since then.

Both of threads said the part numbers were for a GTR so I don't know if they are the same thing with different part numbers or if someone is wrong or if there is a difference between 32-33-34 GTR's. I doubt the latter would be the case though.

Even the cheapest option above is a holy hell of an amount for 18 tiny pieces of rubber. Does anyone know the exact measurements of the 3 parts so that I could enquire at a fuel injection place for some after market replacements? This is just due for convenience so that I don't have to pull an injector out before I do my running around to find the replacements. Also are the insulators just standard O-rings as well? They look like O-rings in the photos I've seen but they could be a different shape (squared off maybe) or a different type of rubber.

Lastly does anyone know of a fuel injector place in Sydney that would be able to sell these things at a reasonable price? I

Hey Jim, we looked all over Aus aftermarket and couldn't find anything to suit. Even the rear o-ring took us ages to find something that matches OK, even then it is a little narrow.

front seal is similar to rx7 series 4 but not quite right either.

rear seal is more like a spacer you could run anything that is the right width and a snug fit. But since we had to buy the other 2 bits we went nissan for these too.

Part numbers and costs as follows:

Injector O-Rings	SEAL-O RING		  NI-16618-78A00		$7.40 ea	 x 6 = $44.40
Injector seals	  INSULATOR-INJECTOR   NI-16635-78A00		$10.39 ea	x 6 = $62.34
Injector seals	  INSULATOR			NI-16636-V5000		$4.18 ea	 x 6 = $25.08

All prices are trade. Add a little bit for retail prices.

After Duncan's post I bit the bullet and bought the set (at full retail from Hornsby Nissan for around $167), and also thanks to Sewid for putting up the part numbers he has, basically outvoting my second list of part numbers so I could confidently ask for the first list.

I put the new injectors in last night without a hitch and they are working great!

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
