I just pulled my injectors out of my RB20DET cos a couple had leaky O-rings. Now i've notived that underneath the o-ring there's another rubber seal looking thingy (see picture). I'm wondering if these need to be replaced as well as a couple of them seem pretty shagged.

Cheers guys, Simon.

You wouldnt have had this problem if you practiced safe sex with your injectors :yes:

PSYMON having FRESHLY gone through this... i suggest the following

take your injectors to an injector specialist, get them cleaned up and reconditioned, this shouldn't cost too much, around about the $100 mark for all 6

this is a must while you've got them out, think how freaking old they are, think of all the mineral deposits and other shit going through them, you owe it to your injectors to service them while they're out of the car

and yes, those shagged rings are shagged, no two ways about it, best to get it done while they're out, save you having to take em out again

but the final most IMPORTANT THING

ALWAYS GET YOUR O RINGS FROM A NISSAN DEALER OR A WORKSHOP THAT GUARANTEES GENUINE NISSAN PARTS

aftermarket DO NOT FIT and petrol will be pissing out all over your inlet manifold... DO NOT use a/m parts for this.

it's worth it dude... i paid $30 when i swapped my injectors over for the lower O rings the complete set must be worth $70

think about what they do though man, understand that they stop fuel leaking all over your inlet manifold and thus blowing your car up

REMEMEBER THIS THOUGH

infact just to make sure, check your PM

      Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 馃檮

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
