I have a '92 Q45 (135,000 miles) and am replacing the fuel injectors. The plastic connectors on the wiring harness are brittle and there is virtually no way to disconnect them from the injectors without breaking the tabs. Due to the difficulty of getting to the injectors and wiring harness on this car, I feel like it would probably be a good idea to replace the harness while I've got it torn apart. Does anybody know where I can get one besides paying the local Infiniti dealer 5 times what it's worth?

I imagine a new one is worth at least 5x the cost of any used one.

Dealers pay roughly half of MSRP to Nissan for parts just like any retail business except computers. Clothes/shoes sometimes sell for 4-5x the store cost!

How would you like to pay for a part, keep it in inventory for 4- 17 years before you could sell it?

Good point. I guess I'm just "venting" and, as a small business owner, I do understand that dealers need to make a profit.

What I'm really frustrated about is how hard Nissan made it to change out the fuel injectors. Love the car but this is ridiculous.
