ALWAYS.

I was able to find some D21 window channel parts on AliExpress that are no longer available in the states, you may wanna try there. Do you have a part number?

[A proper] FSM-worthy explanation as always, slart, thank you!

Nope, I probably should've done better at studying the online images... and to the best of my searching, can't find anyone who makes the female nissan terminal...so off to splicey-splicey land!

Yep, that's it. They are known to cause problems, but someone somewhere in the interwebs (i'll share the link when i find it), dismantled one and improved upon the design with some readily-available parts. Discontinued from Nissan. I'm not sure when ABS was added, but if it has that doo-dad, grab it, again, discontinued!

- fan shroud - Anti Skid Actuator for the ABS - clutch damper

The harness adapters finally arrived...I'll (hopefully) connect them tomorrow and post an update/pics.

There just has to be that one forum member...

"Known good" always cracks me up, especially when it comes to the ECU. Like everybody has a known good, vehicle-specific ECU just laying around!

For me, it's the fact that it's just that ONE plug! If they made that entire bank hard to get to, maybe I'd only be half annoyed!

Still waiting on the adapter harnesses to get here, supposed to be Monday!

Following this, because I remember one of my shifts being grindy, but can't remember which one...also used MT-90, and thought I over-filled it but it's been so long I can't remember!

You should be pun-ished for that one... I believe the injectors are identical, other than the connector, so once the VG30 supplies completely dry up, the VG33 should be a viable option, other than having to get/make adapters, splice. (I didn't remove any of the VG33 injectors to compare, but the rails, caps, hardware...everything looks nearly identical.)

Well, yay and GRRRRRRR at the same time... Tested the VG33 rail, and everything lines up: However, I lost the #3 cushion in the process: This makes the 3rd or 4th one I've lost! Guess that's one way Nissan makes sure you use new cushions! Gotta order the connector adapters anyway, so back to the waiting game. *** Edit: Finally some good luck! Found a lone cushion in a box of non-car part stuff! That'll teach my wife to encourage my inability to throw things away! (Ok, Slart, so I really wanna try those J.I.S. bits out, but looks like I may not have to (yet), plus they are probably coming from the mainland, so who knows how long that'll be, I was too cheap to order a set of Vessels right now...and I like some of the injector testing methods you described. With these cheapies, who knows if it's a flow thing, or pintle not seating properly, etc. And I did peer at least into the intake runners to see if the cushion found it's way in there, got a so-so look at the top of the valves, nothing to write home about).

Apologies for the novel, I tried to make it more of a novella! I did see that RockAuto carries the VG33 injectors (Beck-Arnley), well, they had 5 left as of yesterday, but yeah, VG30 is unobtainium. The VG33 ones I have ohmed out ok (12.0), but they've just been sitting in my parts pile, so can't hurt. Waiting on my J.I.S. bits to come in, or may order some Vessel screwdrivers,won't be reusing that hardware but wanna see if it makes a difference, using a phillips on the screws gave me fits last go-round. I had timing issues on a 16V VW many years ago, and how it ran reminded me of this Pathfinder, but off by one tooth was not to be. I'm gonna try and get a borescope down the cylinders before I button it back up to see if there's any fuel hanging out in there.
