Hey Guys,

Went to start my car this arvo, since it had been sitting there for a while....

On the first start, it was miss firing quite badly, with a strong Fuel odour.

I switched my car off and could continue to hear a hissing sound, noticed my fuel switch was left on, and when turned off the noise disappeared.

I continued to diagnose and removed the loom's off all the injectors and turned the fuel back on, and the hissing noise came back (sounds like injector 1)

So I have come to the conclusion that my injector is seized open??? Or do the injector's stay open when disconnected (I highly doubt as they would continue to leak when car switched off)

Would taking them to an injector specialist help? or are they pretty much gone once this happens?

Cheers

Your diagnosis sounds right. Injectors are always shut and only open when given a pulse. Try tap the injector cap. Then again when you think about it, it want seized when you turned turned it off last. If its a stock injector just replace it.

The injectors should be normally closed until switching power is applied.

It's probable that some gum has developed around the needle of 1 or more injectors. The cheapest option right now is to take them out and have them all sonic cleaned. This will at least give you an idea of whether or not they are still serviceable or if they need to be replaced. Adding injector cleaner when the injectors are this far gone has the same result as setting fire to a $20 note.

i cant speak for gtr, but my gtsts injectors only open with power applied. you might want to get an oscilloscope hooked up to the loom as the injector might be fine but the loom may be screwed. wouldnt bother sending them to a specialist. its usually cheaper to buy another injector 2nd hand

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
