Need help 5 of the spark plugs look ok with the white or gray color tip but there's one spark plug on cylinder 6 by the throttle body is totally black on the tip like its foul. Upon inspection of cylinder 6 through that small spark plug hole is wetness an as I touch it. It smell like fuel. Am I experiencing a fuel injector leak on this cylinder an if so does these v35 250gt skyline use the Same fuel injectors. Car starts fine but idle rough at low rpm, black fire also strong exhaust fumes an lack of power am experiencing

Tiptronic mode ... even if it says 3rd gear on the dash it doesnt mean its in 3rd gear. It is designed to change back to second and first if youre not moving fast enough for the gear to be used. Its not a true manual selection unfortunately.

Ps.. there are mechanics out there with consult tools that will give you an explanation. I know a guy in adelaide who has a consult tool that will read all the diagnostics but still couldnt help me with a transmission fault code. Then i found a mobile auto electrician that had a consult tool which gave me a detailed explanation of all faults. Then i visited a transmission specialist that had even better knowledge.

Unfortunately you will have to visit various workshops until one of them has a tool that works with your car. And it will prob cost $60 per visit if theyre mobile mechanics

only one of the spark plug is foul, the other 5 are good. i found little bit of fuel on my cloth when i push the cloth down the hole that had the foul spark plug. car running rich rough idle an lack of power. where can i find fuel or direct injectors for this v35

ok you guy i am experiencing a rich condition and i have remove all six spark plugs and have discovered that cylinder six below the trottle body spark plug have a foul look black black tip but clean around the threads. the other 5 look like normal spark plugs with the white or gray color tip. anyway upon looking in cylinder 6 hole was some wetness inside. i push a slim cloth in the hole an upon removing the cloth it was fuel. AM I HAVING A LEAKING FUEL INJECTOR ON CYLINDER 6 THATS IS CAUSING ME TO RUN RICH CAUSE I ALSO SMELLING FUEL OUT OF MY EXHAUST AND ROUGH IDLE AND LOSS OF POWER.

Take them to an injector specialist and get them tested if you are worried.

If the injectors are fine, you likely have a short in the wire to the ecu, or the ecu is faulty.

Is there any water dripping on the ecu, or water damage inside it?

Can someone please tell me where is the direct injectors on these vq25dd engine is it in the middle of the lower intake after removing the top am bottom intake manifold or is it under the valve covers were the ignition coils are

I think you're out of your depth here. IMHO replacing the injectors on a Di engine is something you probably should leave to someone who doesn't need to ask these sorts of questions. Why not get your injectors flow tested by an expert in Di? Most of the Diesel specialists should be able to help here. Otherwise you could be replacing something that doen't need replacing, and I believe it won't be cheap based on what I was told. Are you sure the issues you're having in that cylinder aren't due to a coil pack breaking down or something different?

My 350GT will do the same if I'm not moving fast enough, but it will always show what gear it is in on the dash even when it downshifts on it's own. Never had it show as being in 3rd when it's actually in 2nd or anything.

Trust me I know its a fuel injector leaking all six coil packs are brand new. Meet fuel in the park plug hole. Plus this the third time changing single foul spark plug

What coil packs are you using, and what plugs?

The chance a direct injector is stuck open and leaking is slim. You can't remove them easily, they use piston ring style seals around them. They are very hard to remove and refit for a reason, as they need to hold in thousands of psi pressure on combustion. As I have said, get them done by a specialist.

The early 35s only show the highest possible gear selected, not the gear it automatically selects if you go too slow.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
