A few months ago i got all my injectors replaced by an auto electrician for what seemed like an arm and a leg.
2 of them have major leaks again.
Before i take it back, rage, and get rejected, are there quick ways of trying to patch it up without replacing them?

No. What fuel pressure are you running? We're they replaced with brand new ones or second hand?

Just take it back mate and be polite about it. They will be replaced.

Yeah, most of the VL injectors would definitely be stuffed by now, I had that problem and that's what made me go twin cam, they have a more reliable setup in my opinion and I wanted to make it worth while, the other option at the time (2003 - 2004) would've been to get a VL turbo computer and run brand new Bosch turbo injectors on the N/A engine.
I was getting bored with the RB30E anyway.
These days you can get brand new injectors for them on Ebay fairly cheaply (aftermarket) , they also suit the old L28E motor in the 280ZX & 280C as well,they cost around $88 each (incl postage) brand new or $445 for 6 (incl postage), beats paying $200 per injector through Nissan or Holden if they do still stock them, that's about the figure Holden quoted me on for a brand new "injector" 9 years ago for an N/A VL.
That was ridiculous considering the Bosch turbo injectors cost about $110 each aftermarket & brand new, that was back in 2003.
