The fuel smell, that my wife was complaining about, is coming from leaking fuel injectors. Taking it to mechanics on Monday.

Anyone know roughly how much these things cost?

heya mate, this is pretty comon with gtr injectors. you just need to replace teh leaking ones. you dont even need to take out the fuel rail to do it.

A full set will cost about $300 or $50 each. have a look in the for sale section. I have had to replace mine before. it's no big drama, just look at the plenum and make sure there are only fuel stains around the 1 you think is leaking.

labour wise if you are not doing it yourself I would estimate 2 hours max. so around 160 for labour and $100 for a couple of injectors.

Anthony, The rail does need to come off, but its like a 10 min job in your garage - seriously

I had the same issue. Your most likely either leaking from the o-ring (rubber seal on top of injector <> rail), insulator (rubber seal between injector <> plenum) or the small plastic molded 'indent' in the side of the yellow plastic on the head of the injector.

Use some brake cleaner and spray where you think the leaks are. Look closely for fuel leakage.

1) If its the injectors themselves, use araldite to plug the indents, don’t be shy.

2) If o-ring / insulators, buy new OEM from Nissan, they're pretty cheap. Many, (inc me) have had after market, non standard seals not … well, seal properly.

Its Lego stuff, let me know if you need a hand o_0

Hey not to hijack the thread but i have a question about fuel pumps and injectors. Next oil change (1,000km away) I was planning on replacing the fuel pump with a bosch 040 but found a trader on the website here selling 044's for around the same price. Anyway was just wondering would the injectors have to be upgraded with the 044 and for the sake of DIY would the 044 be a direct replacement for the pump in an R33.

Also has anyone had anything to do with the website 'Performancelub.com", they have pretty cheap prices on good oils so was thinking about going through them, just looking for some testimonials

Gday Alex,

Depends on your reason for the pump install. Is it because your running out of fuel, or “peace of mind”?

If “peace of mind” replace with what ever pump, check the base fuel pressure, and you away – no need for any other changes.

If have “fuel issues” your fuel flow is sagging under load (read: dropping pressure higher in the revs) then a pump will help you. If your actually running out of injector duty cycle, then you’ll need to get some bigger injectors (and the resulting re-tune that’s required)

As for what pump. A 044 is definitely not a drop in. For the double the price you can get a Tomie or Nismo setup that’s “drop in”

For the 044 you will need to take it somewhere and get the required fittings. Pirteck and Enzed are rarly able to help my friends and I, so recommend “Aus Hose” in Fyshwick.

You should figure out your future fuel requirements, as Walbro with built in one way valve, is easier to install, so im told.

Im in the same boat. Either fit a 044 into tank, or keep it outside with a surge tank.. decisions.

Hope this helps

Peace of mind mainly :) . I've had a look and its the original factory pump so god only knows how old it is, figured if im replacing it i might aswell upgrade to an 044 over an 040 incase in the future i decided to modify the car a bit but if it requires changing fitments then might just go for the 040 instead which is supposed to be a direct replacement.

Cheers for the help

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
