I took my car to the shop finally to find out why it idles like a muscle car. One of my injectors is bad. So i was looking at it and it seems like a waste of time to change just one so i figure why not all 6? and while im in there i might as well upgrade. I was looking at the nismo 555cc, but i was kinda hopin to find sumthing for a little cheaper(or a lot cheaper) i looked around but im still new to finding z car parts. Anyone have any ideas?

i bet u loved finding out you lost an injetor. One of mie went out a few months ago, not fun. is you car a tt or n/a ? if its tt and your really set on 555's you could check out the classifieds on twinturbo.net, if you dont see some for sale, post a 'wanted' saying that u are looking for some. god luck with the plenum pull and injector swap.

yeah definitely check out TT.net for some slightly used 555cc Nismo's...

there are a few other companies that make or customize injectors for the Z32 but these are just as expensive and usually flow way too much fuel for an otherwise pretty stock set-up.

you may be able to find a shop that can re-do your stock injectors and make them run a higher cc but this is not popular is it isnt reliable.

the nismo's are about the best buy you can get for the Z32.

i think it just depends on who redoes your stock injectors .. i have heard of people that have had their stock ones redone to flow a higher rate and worked out great for them even on a stock setup...

good luck on it

After i posted this yesterday, i went for a drive to the mall. I was driving kinda quick but nothing crazy and as i turned into the mall i heard this like crunching noise. After that it sounded like a gurgly mess and the car was sputtering. I pulled over and looked under my car and it was bleeding green blood! Im dont i cant take this anymore, im selling it. Anyone looking for a TT hit me up ill make you a good deal. I just spent 4k on it in the last 3 months.

did you look to see where it was leaking coolant ? It could be a big deal, or a very small one like a ruptured radiator or radiator hose.

Ok so the unofficial word is water pump again. About 3 months ago i got my clutch, timing belt, and water pump(plus some other stuff) done. About 2 weeks after i got it back the water pump siezed and the fan went through the radiator. So the shop fixed it for free because they warranty there work. So today i called and they hadnt really pulled it apart to much yet but they said that its looking like the pump again, they already ordered more parts and are going to fix it for free again! I almost feel bad for them. They keep getting bad pumps. Im gonna have to see if i can get like 5 free oil changes or sumthing this is ridiculous. Im gonna seel the Z and buy a mustang! LOL j/k

yeah you Better be joking!

anyway, good to hear that they're fixing it for free.. i guess that's one of the up sides of getting a mechanic to work on your car....

how about we arrange a trade, your TT for my T :D

im with probehtr because if someone would do that to a Z purposely that is "Z ABUSE" doing such a thing would be a tragedy not to mention stupidity .... lol
