Sorry to dig up an old thread but it's all relevant :( I'm after the same set of plugs, but I can't seem to find any. I tried Coventry's on someone else's advice but they don't have any. I also tried ringing a couple of Mazda wreckers but they had none either.

Does anyone know where I can get them from in Sydney and roughly how much I should be paying? I'll try a few more wreckers in the meantime.

Edit: I'm going to try Findapart.com.au and see what happens.

Around $80 each is around average I guess. $100 isn't too bad. $50 is the "buy it now" price.

Update on my situation: I found a Commodore wrecker that has some plugs (for $5 each) but I didn't have time to get around there today. Maybe next week.

So they're not the same as Commodore plugs? Where do you get the "2 female pins" from? When I had a look a few days ago it seemed the pins on my clip are already approximately the right size and shape, just the clip was stopping them going on. So if I just remove the old clip and push the pins in, then silicon it up, that should work?

I did mine with pins I bought from Mitre10. I am not sure if the plugs are the same as Commondore ones. Use another set of wires approximately 3" long. Connect it to the new female pins. Test the resistance between the new terminals. If ok, squeeze silicon inside the injector socket and wait for it to dry completely. Connect the 3" long wire to the standard injector loom. You can choose to remove the old injectors plug or hide it somewhere. Preferrably water prove it in a tiny plastic bag. It is important to test the connectivity or it will be too messy to clear those silicon out of the way! Good luck

Unfortunately the places im sure will have some are on holidays till the 6th so i may have to wait unless i can find some.

I doubt they are the same as RB25. I have seen those rx7 series 5 injectors. High impedance and top feed. If SR20 uses the same plugs as RB25 then they are not the same. The plug shape is slightly the same as the SARD 550cc injectors (oval). The 2 side grooves for the plug to slide in is slightly off tho.

Damn, I got off work early today and I forgot to go to the Commodore wrecker to see if they fit. I'll try to remember to go this weekend. My injectors look virtually the same as sil21jun's (but from that angle it's hard to tell if they're exactly the same).

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.

      Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
