The bottom o-rings dont provide a fuel seal so no point in changing them. The top o-rings which provide the injector to fuel rail seal are the important ones and are not visible until you pull the injector out of the rail. Dont confuse them with the rubber spacers.

The injector bodies can leak, that may well be your problem. I've heard you can get them repaired (but not confirmed it), but its an ideal time to upgrade if you power plans require more capacity, but you'll need programmable engine management to run different sized injectors.

yes all are leaking some more than others,not pissing out but enough to catch on fire. if i do upgrade to gtr injectors would car still run good or would have to get a remap and tune?

Yes you will need a tune, you can't just change to bigger injectors and expect the stock ECU to work fine, just get Nistune www.nistune.com , works out cheaper than getting remaps, and at least you could get away with resizing your injectors without a new tune.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • 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.
