Hey therm, you CAN replace only one FI. I would recommend cleaning the rest of them though to ensure they're operating optimally. That way you don't have a huge fluctuation between cylinders. But generally speaking, you are right. But only if the rest of the injectors can't keep up with the new one.

Everyone's always neglecting the suspension and brakes. Well if Nismo's quotes there are accurate, then you should probably toss some of that into keeping the car planted. Hate to see all that power go to waste cause the car won't stay on the road when you actually use that power.

Before you buy 1 remanufactured injector, check around with some local machine shops or call your local NAPA and see if anyone around you rebuilds them. I had mine rebuilt for about 15 bucks each. If you're gonna take the rail out, and you're already prepared to spend 70 bucks on 1 injector, it may be worth looking into. You may be able to get them all fixed up nice and new like for a just a few bucks more. I know some of the larger NAPA locations have the equipment on hand and at least 1 guy who is really good at doing it. I did mine almost 2 years ago and they're working great.
