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" ?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
