Hi one of my fuel injectors is leaking

it looks like it's coming from around top of it, it's only a very small leak looks damp around the injector

obviously my first guess is to replace the injector... is there anything else it could/would be to do with the fuel rail or anything?

Thanks

Might just be the top injector o-ring is gone

Yeah, try swapping it, and the other 5 while your at it of course. Its pretty easy. My DIY might help (for GTR but i think the 20s are similar) HERE. I got the seals from Nissan but any injection place should have them.

yeah that actually sounds more likely than a cracked injector..

are the seals on the bottom that go between the head and injector the same size as the top ones?

i just ordered 6 for the bottom from nissan and he said there is a O ring for the bottom and 'resistor' or something to that tune for the top and bottom of the injector or something

didn't say anything about an O ring on top

Edited by mystery_kid

On the GTR the seals at the bottom are not o-rings (but they might call them o rings), its almost a square cross section. They're not that critical. On the top of the injector is a rubber spacer and an o ring. Again the spacer is not that critical, but the o-ring is essential as it makes the seal. I probably have the part number at home...

Also injectors can leak (mine did). I replaced the seals first as i couldnt tell where the leak was from. Didnt fix it so I replaced the injectors.

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
