I always try to tell myself, never expect things to go as easy as you had planned. It seems like it's constantly one thing after another. First, I dropped an injector and shattered the pintle cap on it. I feel like it's impossible to find one for a car that's not even made in America. I'm sure some sort of top feed Japanese injector that we have in the states will work, it's just a matter of finding it. 2 weeks of searching and nothing yet. Secondly, I jumped the gun on trading for these injectors. I didn't realize that they were low impedance. I searched and searched for a GT-R resistor box and couldn't find one. I eventually talked to my tuner Dave Blundell and he mentioned just running a V6 Legend resistor box. Of course, why didn't I think of that? A resistor box is a resistor box, right? Lastly, I had hoped for cracking 400 rwhp on my setup. My turbo is plenty efficient for it, but after doing a bit more research, I can only barely achieve that power with my injectors on 100% duty cycle. I'm not really wanting to stress anything or even overshoot my power goals, so I guess I'm just going to run less boost and deal with whatever I get. ...Or should I just get new bigger injectors?

Frustration.
