    Injectors... Where to buy...

    Hi everybody...

    A month ago or so, I did my commute travel with the pathy.. No problem... After few hours the motor still warm and started the truck... I felt a weird wouble vibration at the engine and after turning off the truck some smell to gasoline... one two minutes.. And went away...

    Since then when cold start the engine no weird vibration... On warm start... Vibration and smell to gasoline... A friend told me to use some cleanner aditive for injectors, valves, etc... I used this weekend... When to small trip out fo the city... The way out, no problem, the way back to home... A nighmare... The truck loose power... vibration, etc..

    Yesterday I started again the truck, cold start... no problem... Let it warm for half hour... Turn it down, let it cool for one hour... Start the truck, vibration again...

    I think it might be a stuck or bad injector... Whent to the mechanic, told me same thing, maybe some ultrasound cleanning would work, in case of dirt...

     

    So if I have to buy injectors... Do I have to buy the 6 pack? What about refurbished injectors? Or made in China ones? Recomended brand?

    Over here the price is absurd its like double the price... So i thing i would buy them in the US and send them here...

    Thanks for your advise!

     

    I thought it was going to be easier to find the bushings here (Bogotá)... I only found bushings for Toyotas and Mitshubishis... Pathfinder R50 poly bushings are like a very rare hard to find pokemon... Hahahahah

    I think maybe i cand find some Nissan Patrol bushings... But i do not know cross reference or campatibility with R50...

    Which seller has good price and quality in the US for poly bushings? I need to send them to NY... I will be there next week visiting my sister...

     

    Thanks!

    I think my driver front A-arm bushings are damaged, son I have to change them. So I am planning to change as many bushings I can i my R50 2000 Pathy, front and rear for polyurethane bushings...

    I looked for local manufacturers and found a good one, for really good price (Australian an US were out of my budget beacause dolar TRM vs local peso).

    I talked to my suspension mechanic about the change and he sugeste me to buy original Nissans bushings, not poly. He told me that non Nissan rubber bushing will cause squeezing sound and will not last to much... And poly bushings were too hard to the truck and will cause damage on the upper and lower control arms... He suggested that it was better to change the a-arm instead of putting a poly or generic bushing...

     

    Is that true? I mean, I have read lots of comments about poly bushings, that they are stiffer on the suspension, but to cause damage on contro arms or a-arm?

    Thanks for your comments...
