R32 GTST, RB20.

Stock AFM, stock ECU.

TD06-20G

I've just finished installing Nismo 550cc injectors (to suit GTR) as well as wired in the GTR resistor pack.

Before I tow it to my tuner to have a nistune installed and tuned, if I try to start the car will it run on idle?

I just want to make sure there are no fuel leaks and I have wired up the injectors correctly.

Not looking to drive the car just want it to idle..

Car will run very rich (double the fuel it would normally get with the stockers), the spark plugs are guaranteed to be fouled. Depending on the lag time of the Nismo's vs stock injectors, it might not even idle.

It will sit and idle fine mate, you can even rev it a bit as long s you don't get on boost.

Its not till it gets under load it will flood.. I wouldn't recommend driving it. I actually tried driving mine with 650s ,I got around the block before the plugs started to foul, it was spluttering alot and I barely got it home after that..If your mechanic is less than a km away and you drove very slowly, you would make it..

i agree , it cant hurt to make sure its at least idling before going for a tune otherwise you could be paying extra for the tuner to sort out an idle issue if it doesn't when you get it there..

i started mine just cause im a curious bugger and was actually surprised at how well it did idle, i got overconfident and tried to drive it...didnt work :no:

No idea, seemed like the easiest way to get to the injectors and I had to pull the loom out to modify.

Gave me room to replace both rocker cover gaskets and check vacuum lines (worn/old)

No biggie

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
