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?

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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
