He guys,
I am thinking of getting a 90 300 ZX na and the seller says it has #6 fuel inj. is bad...

Some research seems to say this is one pain of a job...

I changed a fuel inj on a old 240 SX, no big issues there, but it looks like this job is...

Anyone do it?

I believe the whole upper plenum needs to be removed. If that's the case: PITA!

lol I've heard it's a bitch too man, but I think we can all agree that the zed to 240sx poonanie attractor ratio is like 20/1 ...

i have personaly changed an injector on my Z.....and YES, it is a major pain. so many vaccuum lines and electrical connectors to disconnect on the plenum, and you cant even see half of them. my plenum was sitting half-way off for about 2 hours because i tried taking it off after i thought i was done taking all the hoses off, but noooooo, there was still more hoses connected.

well, you supposedly can grind a little bit off the plenum and get to the screws, but i dont like the fact of grinding into my plenum.

^ I agree, I'd be to scared to fuck something up, but I don't like the overall idea of the action either

Yeah.. that would suck if you grinded a little too deep.

i recommend anyone that is going to do some serious modding or upgrading on a Z32 to do that grinding down of the plenum. this will make your life alot easier when you have a fuel injector fail. i will be doing this with my new motor and i will also be putting GM plugs snap'n'pull wiring harnesses.

i will explain this later. i have learned alot of little tricks from research over the last couple of months. i will share with you guys once i work out all of the details.

Yeah... Removing the Upper Plenum with the engine in the car SUCKS ASS. I'd recommend pulling the engine, and replacing the gaskets, if you're tearing into it anyway.
