                        i just got done with a similar setup.. what did you do about the mx-6 injectors? wireing harness has a ovalish plug socket and the mx-6 injectors are square just wondering how you got them to work.. my buddy had a extra set of 440cc or 460's the injectors for the GTR and we threw them in looks realy neat though
                        BP+T = Me happy

                          There's 2 different style mx6 injectors. They are both identical as far as cc size but 1 has a square connector and the other is oval. Mine are grey top oval plug and play style . I think it was the 90-91 that they came on.
