Hey all I found some info on some american nissan website and there are a few posts which say ethanol will cause nismo injectors or any pintle style injector to fail rapidly. This was the only website which turned such result. Whats the go behind this? I intended to run a new ecu with flex fuel in my car down the track but this is information which could delay this.

Oh no, the sky is falling... :P

Plenty of guys using Nismo injectors on e85, and many other styles of pintle injectors. All injectors these days are ethanol tolerant as they need to be able to run on 10% ethanol fuel anyway. If you want a good top feed injector for the job, grab a set of 40mm bosch ev14 1000's and the black rail I have here. ;)

Yeah I thought so, Ive read plenty of people using these injectors with ethanol fuel. Just when you hear the bad shit, it sticks much better and I gotta clarify. You think 740's are big enough for flex fuel? Whats this black rail? Link me. Just checked out those injectors, hell I think I could sell the nismos, buy those and have change.

Failing injectors probably not, more like the old fuel lines deteriorating quicker and clogging up the injectors. A few of my mates have that issue with their injectors cloggin up with black crap when running purely e85 for around 6 months

Damn, all the easily changeable fuel lines in my have been changed. How much effort it is to change both lines to/from the tank to/from the engine? We accidentally ran E10 fuel in our old boat and I kid you not after a few hours use, the engine stalled. The amount of black shit caught in the carbies was awesome.

If the black crap was from your lines you would know about it. The lines would be hard and cracked. There is plenty of information out there suggesting the black gunk some experience is from the un-lined tanks some servo's are using, not from the car.

Here is the black proflow rail, this should fit perfectly under the 33 gtst plenum if you use the short 40mm ev14 1000's. You would have to run an aftermarket reg with it though. PM me for information.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
