Leaking Injector?

Hey,

I noticed that after quite a spirited drive, the next morning the car was dropping to 200rpm when clutching in to come to a stop and then reving back up to 750rpm. Then once idling the car would feel a bit rough.

Had a poke around the engine bay and saw this :P

Injector no.1 (the one closest to the radiator?) seems to be covered in dirt and I can see yellow stains around the plenum.

Being at the front, it would no doubt pick up dirt coming through the car, but just want to confirm this aint no normal dirt build up? :P

I put in the injectors about a year ago and had them flow tested and new seals.

Would this be related to my near stalling when coming to a stop and then a rough idle? Its not as rouch as a disconnected cylinder, but you can feel it sort of hunting.

Would this be injector leaking? Or the seal? Or not pushed in enough?

Thanks

i think the stalling issue may be more caused byt the IAC than the injector, but i could be wrong. the yellow could be a bit of spilt oil from an oil change or something like that.

ive stripped down the IAC and gave it a proper clean thats why im not leaning towards it.

IAC controls the air flow in the air/fuel mix. Im thinking that if the injector is leaking, thats causing problems on the fuel side of the air/fuel mix which should be similar to a IAC problem?

On the old R31 (injector leaks are common) yellow around the injector was a sign of a leak, and it idled poorly / did not accelerate well.

I would clean it and then see if it leaks again after that...

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
