What started out two bad injectos turned into a very time and detail consuming project.
Besides the obvious injectors, there were some pretty brittle wires/connectors so I decided to replace all I could without having to purchase new harness and have to pull the motor out (not enough room in the garage for an engine and the Z) as well as the $$$ issues since if I pulled the motor then why not replace the manifolds, turbos, etc, etc which would've turned into a $5000.00 or so project.
So I went and replaced the needed wires, connectors and ran thermo sleeves for the wirings from the firewall area to each connector (no shown on the pictures) specially for the injectors and some other wires that I noticed had suffered worst engine temp damage, so I first ran the wires through a silicone tubing and then the thermo sleeves over them. A bit overkilled I know.
Now doing this polish job besides the wire harness was the most patiences required job I've ever done on this car, If I knew then what I know now, I'd would've just ported the runners, rough sand the external and send it out for either chroming or PC'ing. But at the end the satisfaction of knowing that YOU on your own was able to do it, well too soon to say.
 and this is with just a rough polish, after this it will get a 600 grit sanding to uncover any scratches, waves/valles in the flat surface areas, etc. Re-sand it with 1000 grit, then 1500 grit and it gets a final buffing, so this is probably 1/2 way there. 
It took me a little time to get motivated and needed a little boost **cough, cough (DaveN) and jump back on it, but having fun doing it which besides driving it. It's probably the 2nd thing I've enjoyed about this car.
