Now what? I'm stumped
#4443
do you have a spare distributor you could plug in and spin to make the injectors fire w/o the engine running? that way if you unplug all the injectors except #2 you can listen for it clicking.

So one of my fuel injectors died today. I went to start the car tonight and it ran really bad and had a check engine light. It was code 51- fuel injector circuit open. So, I used my trusty DMM to ohm out the injectors. Sure enough, the front center injector was open.
I have searched the forums, and have found that the front injectors are supposed to be quicker and easier to replace. Some say my front center injector can be done in 20 minutes.
My question is: How do I replace the front center injector in 20 minutes as claimed?

axle locknut is 36mm. it's gonna be on hella tight tho so be prepared to strain a muscle or two haha. tightening torque is 230 lb/ft (iirc the highest torque of any bolt on the whole car)
#4451
er, a wrench probably won't fit inside the hub. i used a 1/2" breaker bar to bet it loose. 3/4" and 4ft handle should be better tho. i have broken breaker bars/ratchets on these things before... not on a maxima tho.

probably the stupid question of the day but does the old school VG30E used in Z31 and 2nd gens fit into 3rd gens without alot of work? for when i go turbo i'm wondering if it would just be easiest to get a VG30ET from a turbo Z31 and do a engine swap, it would be easy to get a engine from the junkyard and a fair bit of Z31 pop up
#4453
Help
I have a burned up fuel injector. the wire connector reads a constant 13.43 volts going to that injector. The other injectors have a constant 0.34 volts going to them. If i replace the injector is it just gonna burn up again? what could cause this constant high voltage?

now if it's an older motor, an a/b block instead of the newer w block, then the crank pulley might be an issue. they make a spacer (which i bought for my Z project, for this very reason) to allow you to put an EARLY model pulley on a LATE model motor. I don't think it would work out if you tried to go the other way around though (late model aka 3rd gen pulley on an older z/early 2nd gen motor)... but I could be wrong.
#4456
a short or bad wiring maybe. which position injector? (front/rear, passenger side, middle, or driverside)
#4457
depends on your definition of "alot of work". if it's 87 or newer it's basically pretty easy. if you want a z31 turbo manifold thingy then just take the manifolds and oil feed tube and whatnot and put it on your stock 9:1CR VG.. the reason that the z31 had such low compression on the turbo motor was b/c it had no intercooler.

so i could take the turbo and stick it on my current VG30E? i might just do that then. the reason im fixed on the Z31 turbo is i dont want to go with a intercooler just yet. my cousins friend buys old rusted cars and turbo's them for fun when he's bored so i'll see if when a fresh Z31 turbo comes in he'll go with me and help me grab it all

hey. when my friend and i was putting my new raidiator in my car i lost some tranny fluid. now my car kind of pulls itself foward (just a little, only i knotice it because i drive it everyday). it didnt do this before... do i need more fluid. if so what kind should i get and where do i put it in.
#4460
yeah 5spd swap first, wouldnt want to do it with my auto tranny because i rarely get over 3k rpm
this ECU (for after the 5spd swap), right? http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/cus...asp?PartID=147
i'll slowly gather everything then just go for a modest setup with a intercooler i guess, dont want ghetto crap. most intercoolers will fit with a stock front bumper right?

looks good, i'll see if i can find any Z31 turbo around here
just out of curiosity with a Z31 turbo/intercooler, how much more HP approx. would be gained? i'm looking to get the Max to at least 250hp, but preferably 300

depends what year turbo (or if you swap it out for some other same-flange turbo), how aggressive your tune is, and how efficient your intercooler is but maxpwer's t3/t4 hybrid setup using those manifolds makes over 300WHP. Dunno what PSI and the exact specs of his turbo, but with a stock z31 t3 turbo you can easily do 250-300.. i mean without an intercooler and at medium-low pressure the z31 turbo made 205hp. jack the boost up and add an intercooler and the gains shouldn't disappoint.

I found a guy with a rusty Z31 turbo that has a good tranny and engine, he said the turbo is in good shape and he would take offers on just the turbo or the whole car. pick n pull sells turbo's for $68.99, is $100 a decent offer for a good Z31 turbo (not the whole car)?

It's the front passenger side injector (#2 cylinder). i got the connection off without removing the intake. the plug is getting spark but when i pull the plug wire it doesn't change the way the car runs. this is the only injector connector putting out any substantial voltage constantly whether the ignition is on or off. And about the exhaust manifold, can i get it off to change the gasket without dropping the engine? It's the rear (firewall side) manifold.

i posted a online ad and i found a guy who owns a Nissan only junkyard, he said he should have a 5spd 3rd gen and a Z31 turbo

bish wants to sell it whole now, i would consider taking all the turbo parts and making the Z31 a NA track car but i dont think its JDM so i dont really want it

#4478
seriosly dude? JDM doesn't mean ****......... other than having the wheel on the other side of the car. and in a country that drives on the right side of the road, it's a safety hazard to have the wheel on the wrong side, otherwise cars worldwide would have it on the same side no matter what side of the road they drove on.
the guy with the junkyard says he has a turbo Z31, and he has Z32 and Skylines. Hes 7 hours away from me but if i can get the full turbo setup and 5spd it would be worth it
