Where do these go?

I bought this gasket set to change my injectors but i only remember seeing 2 gaskets, the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets. So what do all these other ones go to? Do they even apply to changing the injectors?

Do you have a VE or VG; the (2) metal gaskets are for the are for the upper & lower Intake Manifold. Dunno about the rest. You should have ordered them from the dealer; cuz on the VE you only need those (2) and the rubber Throttle body gasket.

No, I wouldn't say that..... I just don't know where the rest of those go cuz I have a VE. Stay tuned; one of us will know.

Well that set that i ordered is compatible with a few different cars so maybe those gaskets are for the other kinds of cars because i know that i only needed 2 of them for the vg since 2 is all i took off the car. The ones that are pictured must be for other cars. The description said the kit was for maximas, pathfinders, quest, 300zx and mercury villager.

Looks like you got a VG30E gasket kit. Which basically means that those are gaskets for vehicles came with the VG (2nd and 3rd gen Max, Pathfinder, etc). Of all those, I think the two gaskets on the left (gasket that goes between the heads and lower intake manifold) are the only ones useful for our VG.

When I was rebuilding the VG that is in my car now, I got a cylinder head rebuild kit and it also includes all of those gaskets you posted. I still have some of those gaskets leftover that I'm never gonna use.

The metal gaskets go between the LIM and the heads, the long gasket with the intake ports are for a 2nd gen VG30 and the 4 solid gaskets are still a mystery to me...the red gasket is for the upper intake manifold of a 2nd Gen....

Unfortunately that kit doesn't have the only gasket that you NEED. Which is the 3rd gen plenum/manifold gasket.

No it came with the upper and lower intake manifold gaskets for my 91 gxe sohc but i didn't put them in the picture because i already knew what they go to. I simply pictured these ones because i did not know what they were for.

That gasket set is definitely not for the VG30E.......I just bought a similar kit, and the gaskets are quite different - except for the ones on the right with the rubber on them. Here's a pic of what you SHOULD have for your VG30E.

The picture posted by the OP is a 2nd gen kit. Like someone else said, the only ones that are the same are the lower manifold to the heads. You should be able to get the upper plenum gasket separately. Check NAPA. They usually have a good selection of engine gaskets available.
