Bought Injectors of ebay need help

I bought some used injectors off ebay and when they came they are both tagged and labeled 94 nissan maxima. The problem is on is peach colored like the ones in my car and the other is pink. Both are green dot injectors like I needed and have the same style clip as my car. The plastic pieces on the pink injector is different than the peach colored one. My car is a 93 gxe vg30e. Both are reading 11ohms. My question is the pink injector right for my car?

I told you everything you need to know via PM. It's not that complicated. Dot color indicates spray pattern, and there are 2 different connectors. If your car is indeed a 92 or later then it uses an oval connector, if it's 89-91 then it's a square connector. If you replace the entire set, you do NOT have to use the same dot color as the previous set. All of the Maxima's VG injectors are pink, any "peach one" is old and faded.

So basically you're about to mix up your original old injectors with 2 different old injectors. So you can still expect any of those 6 to go bad at any time, it's almost worse than using the wrong dot color.

Far from hopefully being a flake, I have also mismatched injectors but not dot colours, instead my no. 1 cylinder has a 300zx injector in it.. it has a blue top square connector. The car has plenty of power over 3000 revs per minute but below it lacks power on full throttle and the spark plug fouls like a mouldy apple left in a dark, moist corner. I think more than likely the flow rate or spray pattern is different but the killer is I left the car sitting and am only on my 5th tank of fuel to clean the system, the plug doesn't foul on octane booster, the lack of power down low is intermittent and improving with time, and I don't blow black smoke every time I put my foot down only occasionally. How different is the 300zx injector (which was brand new by the way) from a 91 max....
