Hey all

I had two fuel leaks on my car. One was the injectors and the other was at the back of the car. I've recently replaced the injectors so now there's no longer an issue there.

I'm not quite sure what is causing the leak near the tank, a mechanic has told me that there's a small hole in the tank but I noticed that the whole tank is covered in fuel above where the supposed whole should be.

The car sometimes needs a bit of gas to start and when it does start the idle starts very low and then slowly builds up also the idle is a bit rough after I replaced the injectors. Also I'm pretty sure the leak only happens when I drive it a bit hard and it doesn't seem to accelerate fast enough and once it was jerky when I tried to plant it so I'm thinking its the fuel pump.

Any thoughts?

sounds like 2 issues.

1. possable fuel pump

2. Maybe the cap at the top of the tank has been removed and not put back on correctly or one of the fuel lines in that area hence the leak.

If you remove your carpet in the boot on the drivers side should be 4 bolts around a plate with wiring going into it. If you remove this you will see the top of the tank where the pump goes in. Have a look to see if you can find the leak.

Cheers guys ill have a look. Do you guys think that the rough idle is tied in with this problem or is it another issue? I gave my car a full service yesterday and the idle does the same thing, when I start it it almost stalls and then it very slowly goes to 1100 and whenever its idling its a little rough...

sounds possible that the leak is from the connection from the pump on the top of the tank +1 to opening the access pannel in the boot and taking a look, if its losing a bit of fuel pressure from the leak in the hose that will 99% be the cause of you're rough idle/jerkyness on acceleration.

also, if the leak isnt the cause i'd be checking for vac leaks/ iac valve opperation (idle air control valve)

    • Yeah that's true, but idk. Only a 6 month lifespan seems a little short. Oh also, is there a preferred way to send images? Like any sites? I'm used to just being able to upload them lol
    • Hey, like MBS206 mentioned; I dropped off my short block and rotating assembly Monday. With a quick verification, he believes he can clear it up with just a hone and new rings but he will confirm once the rotating assembly is out. If I were you, I would either go stroker or just replace the block if it does need to be bored over to next size. Block is cheaper then forged pistons. 
    • live in the UK, and London has introduced a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that requires individuals to pay £13 if their car doesn’t meet the required emissions standards.   The standard specifies that NOx emissions must be less than 0.08 g/km (i.e., the vehicle must meet Euro 4 standards or better, which generally results in NOx levels of around 0.08 grams per kilometer).   I reached out to Nissan UK, and they advised me to contact Nissan Japan directly. Does anyone have contact details for Nissan Japan or any certifications of conformity that show the emission details or NOx levels for the RB25DET engine?   Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    • these guys recommended to me and supplied custom 4 inch mufflers, couldn't be happier. They will spec a muffler to your preferred level of sound and know RB's well.  https://spmufflers.com.au/
    • Yeah this used to happen to me every year and a quick call would at least raise the agreed value back up / reduce the premium, but usually both.    That said for the first time on the renewal this year our agreed values went up or stayed the same over the fleet and the premium came down so that was a nice surprise.
