Hi Guys,

I've had some issues with my 32 gtr. Mods include: GT 2860R Turbos, Cooler, Splitfire coils, PFC. Currently making 275 @ all four.

I've had some severe missing issues with the car lately. It got to the point where the car was running constantly on 5 cylinders, even on idle. I was getting knock levels up at around 105!

I took it to my mechanic and he changed spark plugs, tested coils, changed ignition amp, cleaned AFMs, replaced the wiring harness, comp tested motor. Car was running fine for about 30mins before it started again.

I put in my old ECU, took the car for a drive and after about 30 mins it started doing it again. I put the ECU into diagnostic mode and error 45 came up - injector leak.

So what exactly does an injector leak mean?? Do i need new injectors?? Could it be fuel pump??

Any help would be appreciated. ;)

Cheers

Its means the injector is leaking... Probly one of the o-rings is split.

Im not sure how it would recognise this fault, maybe a big vary in one of the inj duty cycle?

The knock sensors can pick up noise from the missfire and log that it was detonation, And In your case it sounds like the spark plugs/plugs are foulded.

Pull the injectors out replace the o-rings in all injectors, even while their out get them flow tested/cleaned make sure theirs nothing wong inside the injector - I wouldnt think this is common.

Also if it was that bad, change the oil... fuel in the sump = spinning bearings!

See how you go!

No such thing as error code 45 according to the R32 GTR factory WS manual, you'd better re-check. In any event the stock ECU diagnostics aren't set up to detect injector leaks as already suggested.

id be surprised if the ecu could detect injector leak also, it would have no way of knowing. read the powerfc faq in my sig, theres a known misfire bug in the r32 gtr powerfc and it outlines a working fix for it

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
