Trying to resurrect a q45 , love these cars but I'm in dire need of the straps.

Looking to buy the aluminum straps/hold downs that hold the injectors in the rail for my 1994 q45 I am in dire need of these.

Could you post pictures of these things?(unless you can't because you don't have them, :rotfl ) I'm curious as none of the Nissans I have torn apart required what I'd call straps for thr injectors.

Probably referring to the metal caps/seats that have 2 screws on each side. https://www.fiveomotorsport.com/catalog ... or_600.jpg

Thanks for the link. Those are interesting, and Nissan definitely got away from them in later years.

Good luck Kevo. If nobody raises a hand to donate, at least g50s are quite common in junkyards nowadays.

Full list on that part from the dealer is $6.90. $4.83 from http://www.orderinfinitiparts.com
Part number is 1661953J00

Assuming they haven't gone non-stock, and I'd be surprised because I think most of the side feed injector setups from that era used the same cap, it might be easier to just order it new. Be sure you're lubricating your injector's o-rings with a smear of motor oil before you try to insert them in to the rail. I've never head of these breaking before, so I can't help but think that if you're trying to force an injector in to the rail without lubrication, that could be causing your breaking issue. I learned how important lubrication was the hard way when I replaced injectors the first time. If you pinch an upper o-ring you have a fuel leak under the hood. Lower o-ring and you're dumping raw fuel into the engine and potentially hydrolocking the engine. In my case, I had a slow leak-down. I never confirmed for sure if it was a faulty "re-manufactured" injector that I was using, or the o-ring, but either way - lube is necessary.

THe injectors I bought said they came pre lubed and instructed they were fine for installation. Yes I was trying to use the cap to push the injector down. Orings on the injector are fine but I'll add some motor oil.

Thank you

They're a tight fit either way... hopefully the oil will help.

You can use caps from a 4th gen Maxima. Just get some new cap insulators from a part store like Advance Auto, polish them up and they will be as good as new.

Wondering why an injector would come "pre lubed" . would be like an oil filter coming pre lubed. What kind/brand of injectors? How much you payed and where you got em? And how did you wreck the metal caps? Prying them off?t he deatschwerks injectors i put in 10 years/300k miles still let engine run flawlessly. Hopefully you payed a fair price
