Covered a million times on here before and i have done a search as well..

But basically my new r33 gtr skyline's injectors are leaking from around 3 of them, 2 being at the top of the injector and the other from the bottem..

One of the ones that leaks from the top (nearest to front of engine) just pours out constantly..

Whats the best solution to curing this? car is stock with stock injectors.

Should i just take it to an injector specialist in bunbury (although i dont any) can anyone reccomend anyone? so they can clean and put new seals on (hoping that they are not cracked) and clean them...

Or should i just buy later injectors off a r34 gtr???

GTR injectors will always leak eventually. If you bought new ones, take them back for a refund. If you bought second hand ones, then buyer beware. If you buy another set of GTR injectors, they will ALSO leak eventually. They all do, there is no way to fix them.

Before ditching them, though, check the top and bottom seals to be sure it is the injectors fault. Usually they leak from the small holes near the top on the side when the car is running. They will not leak when the car is not running.

They would leak when engine is off due to fuel pressure left in the pressure side of the fuel system.

Once the pressure has escaped it should stop. If it's definately not the orings and it is the injectors, might be a good time to get some new injectors (bigger) and a tune to suit?

If you turn the key to the on position and you start getting leaks, then try replacing the o-rings first. Replace both top and bottom. You can get these from any injector cleaning place or mobile guy or from Nissan at approx $1 each I think (I don't know exact price as I buy them in bags of 200)

If the injectors leak from the small holes on the side near the top, then they are fubar and you will need to buy new ones.

For a basic street car, just get some siemens ~500cc and a Nistune or something equivalent. If you are after something more serious, talk to your tuner or mechanic more about the size they recommend and the brand they recommend.

Just turned the key to the on position (without the engine running) and straight away fuel on 3 of the injectors started to leak fom the top down does this mean it will be the o rings then?

If its right at the top near the rail then yeah, probably o-rings. If you're not sure, just change them anyway because they're cheap and its an easy job. Search the DIY - i did a write up. Interestingly, i had to remove my rail recently and just pulling it out and reinstalling it was enough to kill 2 orings FFFUUUUU.... Probably should have pulled all the injectors out of the rail and re-lubed them.

Well today my injectors coem from america..

Anyway used the guide on here to fit em all is well on idle..

As soon as i just drive normally it has a miss like its trying or should i say nearly running on 5 cylinders, put your foot down and that goes away although on full boost boost it does leave a cloud of black smoke which it didnt used to do...

Anyway my question is does this mean one or more of the new to me std gtr injectors aint flowing enough??

Should i just take em all of again and get em flo tested or could this be somat else?

Note it didnt miss like this when the old leaking injectors were in...

What boost are you running? Are the replacement injectors new or used?

Black smoke = rich mixture, which you'd expect on a stock ECU, especially if you've raised the boost.

I also think so.

Just tried this out then and i can hear a leak coming from the first injector, I cant really tell weather it's coming from the top or bottom though.

I cant visually see or smell fuel but just a leaking air sound?

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
