I've never done one and couldn't advise but I'll come help if you get someone who's done one before coming too.

 

cheers mate

thats cool,hopefully i will get someone who has done this b4

 

I did this a couple of weeks ago, putting on a good barbecue is the trick to it really.

To be honest if you plan before hand and make printouts of all your tech articles you will be fine. As for what you need, it really depends what you want to do while your plenum is off. I did a PCV reroute as per JT's article, a search under his name and PCV will find that for you, I got my injectors cleaned too and replaced lots of old hoses and such. Zed For Life has a decent shopping list on his website. On top of that I would get plenty of fuel line and silicone hose in various sizes (4 and 6 mm I think) get more than you need, left overs in much better than not enough, and plenty of good hose clamps too. I was scratching around for these all day when we were putting everything back together. Don't put any of your old hoses back in, while it is out you may as well replace them all with new ones. This also means that anything that is hard to get off you can just cut.

Another thing we found very handy was to have a similar car parked right near the one we were working on so any time we were not sure about anything we could just go over to the other car to look.

Lots of silicone spray is handy to get hoses on and off, and mechanics gloves so you can grip the hoses to get them on and off once you have doused them in silicone spray.

Have plenty of throttle body cleaner spray and degreaser on hand too.

There was probably lots more stuff but I can't remember at the moment. Feel free to ask if you want to know anything else.

 

I can help AK. Have done a couple of plenum pulls (am in the middle of one right now ).

Just give a heads up when you go ahead

Cheers
Rob

 

thanks rob

cheers mate,
i havent decided the day yet because im waiting for other people to reply and then we can sort out the day,,
what day would be better for u?

 

peter black

thanks mate, for all the info u have given it to me.
i will get all that stuff b4 hand and if u can think of anything else pls let me know cheers AK

 

Hey AK,

P/P is quite easy. You realise you'll need to get your car tuned for the new injectors before you go driving it.

Cheers,
Dave.

ops
no i didnt know that i guess i ve to put it on the truck,but can i start the car tho

 

Can also help

Have done a few plenum pulls on my own zed (gotta love leaking injectors ). And I need something to get me back into working on zeds, mine is so neglected at the moment. Just let us know when. Do you have the right tools? Also where are you located?

 

sabrewolf

cheers mate got lots of tools and got a print out on plenum pull, and it says about all the tools we would need to get the job done so ill make sure that ill get them all,
im located in mount hawthorne,near the pado,,,paddington pub
sat or sunday what ever suit u guys i guess

 

only if you were in syd toook me 3hours to do (aks) PP OUT and IN

 

if its a sunday after 11.00 or so, or sat after 1 ill come round

done 6 0r 7 of these not to hard really, just a few tricks to the whole thing thats all......as always lol
ive never fitted injectors before though, you will need the appropriate o-rings for the rail and also the correct torque settings for when you replace them back into the rail/plenum, to tight and you'll pinch tear the o-ring, to loose and it will leak
give me the heads up and ill help all i can

 

lol,z master

now thats y they call ya Z Master mate

 

jinxed

hi Ross,
thats mate ur on 4 sure ill let u know when is the go date is,
and i ve got the injectors already in the fuel rail ready to drop mate
i bought them with the fuel rail,,,, :zlove:

 

then youll just need the injector o-rings that sit

on the end of the injector and seal between the lower plenum and injector body....

 

cheers ross

where is the best place to buy that o ring maman

 

hey mate.. i am hoping to do a pull in the next couple months... mind if i head along and learn?? and give a hand where i can

 

yeah me too

depending on which weekend, I work every second one

 

not sure i reckon nissan themselves, or try repco or covs or something

just ask for the bottom oring for the injectors, i think they are usually green?
