600? Wtf you need new injectors/adapters for?

If you think your injectors are clogged get them sent out cleaned and flow tested its like 100 bucks to get done as long as the selonoid isnt fucked the injector is fine…

50 for a rear main? GTFO dont go to nissan get one from someplace else… 90% of the shit is the same as what the dealer gives you just re branded when it comes to seals

It’s the Odyssey PC-680, and it’s more expensive than the $180 he just said.

Deka ETX series would be the cheapest route, but they’re not for everyone.

I was going to buy a red top Optima. I would rather replace it once and not have to think about it for a long time. I’m not sure to what extent the rack/pinion can be rebuilt, I know they replace the seals and whatnot but mine is fucked up from an impact.

The injectors on the 90-92 Z’s are the old pintle style injectors and they start failing around the same time. Mine have about 130k on them and I’ve already replaced one and another is just starting to fail. I have to pull the plenum to get to alot of stuff anyways so I want to swap the injectors while its off, instead of later having to do dremel the plenum to get to the injector caps.

Why? I know you have to pull the intake to get the heads off but not the other way around.
