    Yep, two years on the street in burwood - not a problem. 1 week in camberwell, the first time I don't garage it? Come back in the morning to find the ignition barrel in 3 pieces on the floor. Thank you faceless Japanese man for fitting an immobiliser I didn't know about.

    Yep, given I was told it was an injector issue, I had it booked to replace. Didn't find out what it was until he'd pulled it all apart and tested the injector to find there was nothing wrong with it, so then he had to reassemble the whole show to troubleshoot it from scratch. Half the cost is in removing and refitting the injector that was apparently busted. So the dealers wrong diagnosis cost me $500, when you include their bill. I'll take it up with them, hopefully they'll be decent about it. Only sure thing is not asking guarantee's nothing.

    So i've finally got her back, and it's not what it seems. Injector - Fine. Coil Pack - Fine. The culprit? The plug into the coil was corroded to hell, and had corroded the wire into the plug away completely. Real pain, and about $800 in labour to fix. Which brings me to my next question. Given the fact that it was misdiagnosed by nissan service, and having them repair it wouldn't have fixed the problem, and the actual cause was something that (according to B&M) should really have been picked up on if a decent look was had into it before deciding it was an injector, and subsequently not testing the injector to confirm it, how likely would I be to recoup some of the costs from nissan service, given they have a three month warranty on their work?

    Verdict's in - $120 for a reco'd piece, or $190 for a new one with a days wait on parts. Much better than $460 and a month ex Nissan, Odium, you're right - I'm looking at a few hundred in labour. She'll most likely be going to the farm in 12-18 months so I'm just replacing the dead one and hoping for the best. Are in-fuel injector cleaners worth using?
  11. baron25
    That's what I thought too, even supported by some quick searching under 'why does my skyline sound like a boxer?', but they tested all the plugs and coil packs and they were fine, compression tested the block and still nothing, then looked at the #6 injector as the source. Took them 5 hours to figure it out apparently. Spoke to B&M this morning, if I were smart enough/had the tools to remove it myself, it would cost $40 to recondition the dead one, or $120 for a replacement.

    So after running around on five cylinders and a boxer-like rumble for a few days, the verdict came back that an injector has died, which Nissan say is an $800 fix with a month's wait to get one shipped ex Japan. Now, I suspect that &450 for an OEM injector is a bit silly, and I could probably get either mine or a secondhand part reconditioned for much less, or a full set of new ones for slightly more. A quick yellow paging has turned up B&M Fuel Systems in Richmond, does anyone know/recommend anywhere else?
