> “We’re gonna have to recommend you take it to the dealer, because we can’t seem to find the problem. We also won’t be charging you for anything” Great, abso-freakin’-loutely great. I’d take it to the dealer but I already had Nate (who works at 401 dixie) come by with Consult and he couldn’t figure shit out so I dunno what the dealer is gonna do (and still manage to take my $ even jsut for ‘looking’). Someone come shoot me. ---

Timing is not good for an SR (i.e. cash funds) and no way in hell I’m wasting my time doing a KA if I’m gonna do an SR this winter anywho. Nissan is my option, at least for initial diagnostic and then we go from there. I won’t have enough for an SR till at least September if I watch my $. ---

If they’re still on the rail I probablly have a better chance at taking the entire rail out. Well I’m about to go pick the car up and time for some more tinkering. Man it really sucks to find time to drop car off anywhere working and all. I’m skeptical of taking it to Nissan but looks like I have no choice. Fuck this sucks. ---

I have watched Chris remove/install injectors a bunch of times. You require a pair of channel locks and a slotted screw driver. Squeeze the injector (after removing all of the fastening hardware obviously) on either side of the plug area (after you have removed the wires), and while twisting ever so slightly at first, pry up slowly under the ledge of the injector with the driver. When it starts to move more freely, turn it a bit more back and forth while prying. This is a pretty tedious job, if you don’t have patients, don’t try this. If you do, then just be carefull in the process. Theo ---

Yeah I’ve now swapped injectors a few times as well, I guess once you’ve done it, it becomes a lot easier. ---

i guess shit happens when you have 360xxx km on the motor… in any case, i did use channel locks as well as vice grips, the plastic was quite brittle and snapped/stripped right off. oh well, that motor is garbage anyways, only did it to lend the injectors to g :D. good luck in getting your car fixed ^^.
