it wasnt disabled, I changed my email to AOL and the confirmation email wouldn't go through. Therefore, I was locked out by the admin. All better now!

you can find used ones all over the place, but you won't know if they'll be any good.

Okay, for those that want to know............The dots are right there under the connector. I saw them but didn't realize what I was looking at was a "dot" it looked more like dirt that had accumulated over the past 13 years. So basically, if you dont think you see a dot, its probably a yellow dot. It was a 50-50 shot of getting it wrong, and I did! So I have 5 yellow dots and a green dot, no difference as far as I can tell, maybe next time I will replace with the right one.

PS could Nissan have put any MORE hoses on the damn intake? I thought my twin turbo VR-4 was bad, sheesh!

Are these "dots" anything like on a 90 model between the Blue and Black style of injector? Does anyone know the difference in the colors, They look exactly the same to me. Do these work different from each other?

Replacing Bad Injectors

About 6 months ago I paid 350 to replace my #3 fuel injector, and now I need to replace another fuel injector, only this time I dont want to pay an arm and a leg to have a mechanic do it. I think I am going to go ahead and replace the other 4 as well, since they seem to like to go out on me. I remember seeing a link to a very nice instruction site on how to replace fuel injectors. I looked through all of the stickies and old posts but couldn't find it. Can you post any information you have relating to this, I figure at least one of you will produce the same link.

Also, any sites that are good for finding injectors for an 89 GXE

Thanks!

Well yeah but they have different spray patterns. But I mixed them and still had no problem.. as long as it a 259cc and the ohms are right it will deliver
