If you had to buy non-oem injectors what are the best choice for replacements. As I am looking for this car to only last me maybe another year. I have green dot injectors and have 2 bad ones that need to be replaced. I am thinking about just replacing them with aftermarket ones just to get me another year or so of reliability. Im looking for opinions on which ones I should go with. Thanks. Motor is a vg30e

The problem with retail refurb fuel injectors is the failure rate. Posts over the years have shown that if you buy a set of six, one will be bad. In one post the guy got three, and one was bad. There is so much work in the teardown to get at the injectors, you don't want to do it twice.

Best Bet: either pony up what Nissan wants for new ones (outrageous), or send yours off to get refurbished AND TESTED at places like WitchHunter Performance (www.witchhunter.com). A steal at $19 per injector. They actually flow test them at a simulated 2500rpm for flow, spray patterns, etc and give you the graphical data. I've had them do 2 sets now and all have performed GREAT.

An Alternate (what I did) - find some salvage green dot injectors, and send them off for refurb before you tear down your car. You can find salvage injectors on Ebay, or by hunting around your local salvage yards. That way you have injectors ready to install when you dis-assemble your upper engine, and it gets all done at one time

rebuilt injectors are crap, you cannot fully rebuild a injector for 3rd gens

honestly if you just need them for a year, get some junkyard injectors
