Need help 5 of the spark plugs look ok with the white or gray color tip but there's one spark plug on cylinder 6 by the throttle body is totally black on the tip like its foul. Upon inspection of cylinder 6 through that small spark plug hole is wetness an as I touch it. It smell like fuel. Am I experiencing a fuel injector leak on this cylinder an if so does these v35 250gt skyline use the Same fuel injectors. Car starts fine but idle rough at low rpm, black fire also strong exhaust fumes an lack of power am experiencing

Tiptronic mode ... even if it says 3rd gear on the dash it doesnt mean its in 3rd gear. It is designed to change back to second and first if youre not moving fast enough for the gear to be used. Its not a true manual selection unfortunately.

Ps.. there are mechanics out there with consult tools that will give you an explanation. I know a guy in adelaide who has a consult tool that will read all the diagnostics but still couldnt help me with a transmission fault code. Then i found a mobile auto electrician that had a consult tool which gave me a detailed explanation of all faults. Then i visited a transmission specialist that had even better knowledge.

Unfortunately you will have to visit various workshops until one of them has a tool that works with your car. And it will prob cost $60 per visit if theyre mobile mechanics

only one of the spark plug is foul, the other 5 are good. i found little bit of fuel on my cloth when i push the cloth down the hole that had the foul spark plug. car running rich rough idle an lack of power. where can i find fuel or direct injectors for this v35

ok you guy i am experiencing a rich condition and i have remove all six spark plugs and have discovered that cylinder six below the trottle body spark plug have a foul look black black tip but clean around the threads. the other 5 look like normal spark plugs with the white or gray color tip. anyway upon looking in cylinder 6 hole was some wetness inside. i push a slim cloth in the hole an upon removing the cloth it was fuel. AM I HAVING A LEAKING FUEL INJECTOR ON CYLINDER 6 THATS IS CAUSING ME TO RUN RICH CAUSE I ALSO SMELLING FUEL OUT OF MY EXHAUST AND ROUGH IDLE AND LOSS OF POWER.

Take them to an injector specialist and get them tested if you are worried.

If the injectors are fine, you likely have a short in the wire to the ecu, or the ecu is faulty.

Is there any water dripping on the ecu, or water damage inside it?

Can someone please tell me where is the direct injectors on these vq25dd engine is it in the middle of the lower intake after removing the top am bottom intake manifold or is it under the valve covers were the ignition coils are

I think you're out of your depth here. IMHO replacing the injectors on a Di engine is something you probably should leave to someone who doesn't need to ask these sorts of questions. Why not get your injectors flow tested by an expert in Di? Most of the Diesel specialists should be able to help here. Otherwise you could be replacing something that doen't need replacing, and I believe it won't be cheap based on what I was told. Are you sure the issues you're having in that cylinder aren't due to a coil pack breaking down or something different?

Tiptronic mode ... even if it says 3rd gear on the dash it doesnt mean its in 3rd gear. It is designed to change back to second and first if youre not moving fast enough for the gear to be used. Its not a true manual selection unfortunately.

My 350GT will do the same if I'm not moving fast enough, but it will always show what gear it is in on the dash even when it downshifts on it's own. Never had it show as being in 3rd when it's actually in 2nd or anything.

Trust me I know its a fuel injector leaking all six coil packs are brand new. Meet fuel in the park plug hole. Plus this the third time changing single foul spark plug

What coil packs are you using, and what plugs?

The chance a direct injector is stuck open and leaking is slim. You can't remove them easily, they use piston ring style seals around them. They are very hard to remove and refit for a reason, as they need to hold in thousands of psi pressure on combustion. As I have said, get them done by a specialist.

The early 35s only show the highest possible gear selected, not the gear it automatically selects if you go too slow.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
