my first injector is showing a small amount of residue stain around the fuel rail, not wet to touch but enough to give my car a potent fuel smell and leave a stain in the surrounding area....

i called nissan regarding a repalcement injector and the pricks want $360 EACH!!! i was gonna just replace the whole injector if i cant get a seal replacement/fix??

anyone know much about this or recomend a shop?

cheers

There is 3 rubber o rings on the injector - nissan have them and I think a complete set to do your whole 6 injectors (18 rubbers) is around $120. I would try this first unless the injector itself is cracked or something more sinister......

Dude, you're in the same situation as me!!! I had one leaking injector... then 2... then 3! They all seem to go at the same time. Had fuel stains, very strong fuel smell when you turn off the car, you get comments like "Wow it smells like you've been flogging this thing for hours!" etc etc

In my case, replacing the O ring wasn't enough as the injector's were actually cracked from old age, so I forked out nearly $2k for 6 brand new GTR injectors from Nissan.

Why? Because I don't have a aftermarket ECU to control the aftermarket ECU's, and I know you can get full sets of bigger fuel injectors for over half that price. And I really don't want to go down the road of aftermarket ECU's yet.

But yeah, replace all 6 at the same time, as they all seem to go with each other in a period of 1 - 2 months.

Got Boostworx to replace all mine. But prepare to fork out nearly $2k for 6 original brand new injectors or you can get a second hand set for a few hundred, but these are apparently hard to find now as everyone wants to get their hands on it. Or, if you have a aftermarket ECU, then anything goes really.

It's a common issues for RB26's - especially the older ones. They just get weak over time.

You could've used aftermarket injectors for a 1/3 of the price and still used your standard ECU as long as they were the same size & feed.

petroject stock them...alot cheaper

and you can check to see if they are leaking by dripping a little bit of oil around the end of the injector and listening for a sucking noise.

i searched the yellow pages and found nuthing under "petroject" ?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
