I am not sure about the rb20 - but you should only need to unbolt the fuel rail.

Before you do this you should pull the fuel pump fuse from the drivers footwell fusebox and start the car a few times until it doesn't start to clear out the fuel lines. Be prepared for fuel to still go everywhere anyway with rags when you pull the first injector off the rail.

Also make sure you don't get frustrated and damage any of the hoses that connect the fuel lines to the rail - otherwise your car will burn to the ground next time you start it!

on the rb20 you only need to take off the throttle body.

an easier way is to unplug the gray looms at the front of the plenum that are connected to the injectors. i think they are gray on the rb20, just follow the injector loom.

Recently had the fuel rail off mine a couple times.

The easiest way is to pull the throttle body off the plenum and remove the AAC (or IAC?) valve. It is positioned between the 4th and 5th injector. Be careful with the throttle body gasket though as it is easy to damage.

Other way, is leave everything in place, unbolt the rail and lift it up enough to wriggle the injectors out of the rail, then pull it all out. Only problem with this way is it is a bit more difficult getting the rail and injectors back in place.

cheers guys will have a closer look at just taking off the throtle body first then.

so there where still be alot of fuel to come out once ive takin off the rail, will defenatly be prepared for that then a fire is the last thing i need haha

thanks again calv.

    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
