Hey,

So I was in the process of putting my Nismo 555 injectors back into my RB25 rail when I came across a couple that are being difficult, any way as I was out in the shed looking for my silicone spray my effing numpty of a brother in law decided to try and force it in with a pair of adjustable width pliers. :rant::rant::rant::rant:

He has managed to push the little cap in the centre of the injector down about 3 mm and then tried to pull it back out. Would this mean that the injector is now stuffed??

Good injector

Bad injector

Sorry about the picture quality I just took it with the iphone

If it is stuffed can anybody tell me if you can buy them singularly and point me in a direction on where to get them.

NOT HAPPY

Umm, let's just say he is no longer at my house and I don't think he will be back for a while.

I hope the pintle is nothing but I wonder if it has anything to do with helping control flow or something? Like does it move up and down?

Pretty sure those act like little valves and move up and down.the injector has a solenoid in it. That controls the injector opening and closing. It controls how far it opens. That thing there moves up and down to let fuel pass through. I think it's rooted dude.

Don't stress. I reckon it could be alright. Like Tazzy said get it tested. Put it in ya car and see if it works. If its broken get him to buy you a new one. Rule number one with assembly: If it wont go then check it, everything has its correct way of going together. There is a thread on injector installation on this site somewhere. All my injectors couldn't be pushed in by hand. Sargerx8 ya wrong mate it don't have no fuel up the top there, hence the term "side feed injector". And that bit aint a pintle fella's. Sounds like some blokes need to read up on how injectors are made and work :D

Spewing you let your brother in law have a crack hey?! Get it in the rail and try it man. It might work??? I don't know if it will or not. At the end of the day its not a lot of money to get a new one and if you have to wait a week to get it well that wont kill you. Waiting for car parts makes it all the more worth it when they arrive I reckon. Let us know how you go with whatever you try.

Didn't really let him have a crack at it, I was putting them in the rail inside (it's warmer in front of the fire) when I got a sticky bugger that wouldn't go in. So when I went outside to my shed to get the silicone spray he took it apon himself to have a go at it.

I spose he was just trying to help but still pissed me off, he is in no way mechanically minded so should've just left it alone but what can you do what's done is done.

Anyway I have some good news, I went for a drive down to UAS and showed the injector to Dave (T04GTR) and he has given it the all clear and said it's nothing to worry about.

Apparently the little metal peice is just something that is used in the molding/plastic injection process to give the machine something to hold onto when it's put into a die.

Dave also said he has seen them in MUCH worse states than mine (snapped of completely, bent & even missing altogether) and they still work fine so that's good to know. I trust his judgment as he has a very good rep and has built some wild engines so he knows whats what.

Oh yeah, 1 weeks wait is nothing ATM. The car has been on blocks since November and will still be for a little while yet ;)

Pretty sure those act like little valves and move up and down.the injector has a solenoid in it.

I asked the same question, they do have a solenoid in them but you can't see it from the outside. As I said above he has even seen injectors with that part missing and it hasny made a difference. If they where a top feed injector it would be a different story.

i just called it a pintle cause i didnt know what else to call it.. :unsure:

Hahaha me too, I just started copying you!

Sargerx8 ya wrong mate it don't have no fuel up the top there, hence the term "side feed injector".

I know they are side feed but they way they work is fuel coming in from the side and a valve moving up and down and the pressure in the fuel system will squirt the fuel through the nozzles. I never said fuel goes in from the top, I said its the top of a solenoid which moves up and down controlling fuel flow, which is correct.

If you disconnect the power to the injector, it wont push fuel out. Sure it will get fed into the side but the valve wont move up and allow fuel to be squirted.

The only part I guessed about is that part being a moving part but my concept is correct.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
