Injector question

Are all VG injectors compatible? I.E., could I pull some from a 300zx or a Pathfinder in a junkard? Things are fscking expensive new.

Quick glance at a couple of part stores showed Pathfinder, 300ZX, and Maxima VG use different injectors. What are you looking to pay for injectors?

I've noticed that most of the 5sp 3rd gens in junkyards around here have been plundered. I know I'm guilty.

I'll check out the Fenton place on Thursday. Hopefully I dont get chased out by some hoosier with a banjo, a pitchfork, and a shotgun (St Louis humor)

Some say it helps; surely depends whats the problem in the injector. For the price difference, I would give it first a try. How? Buy the stuff and read directions [=me newbie dunno].

Just for reference, I suppose there are still cheaper... Note: remans will not last as new ones.

you want to make him do labor 2-3 times?
remans have an over 50% defect rate on these style injectors!
you'd be better off with used than rebuilt.

I warned, let him decide. The price is for reference, if he goes to junkyard... Labour might be 0$, no taxes (best of all).

I want him to buy NEW from u. But I know u want the money. No money, no shipment, right?
