Fuel Injector replacement

`sup org. One of my injectors is dead. I'm going to replace all of them. I checked ebay motors and someone is selling a complete set for under $400 New in the packaging and o-rings are included.

I'm a bit nervous about buying them because the part number of the injectors are 16600-85E00 are for a 300ZX, the parts list have a different numbet. From the pictures they are the same color as my old ones, but I can't tell what color dot it has. My injectors are pink with the black dot.

My question is will an injector for a 300ZX # 16600-85E00 fit a 1992 3rd Gen VG motor?

Even if the 300ZX injector can fit/work, will it give the same fuel spray as the original injector or better/worse?

Here is a pic of the injector on ebay

according to this page, the listed number (presumed for the 300zx) will fit the maxima, but not a 300z?

Be careful of that list, bob hasn't updated it in years AFAIK.
it does make for a good page rank in search engines.

a nissan part ending in 85E00 is for a maxima

ask him for a picture of the top of the injector. if it doesn't have the nissan emblem then I wouldn't get them. if it does have them, go ahead and buy them.
