Hey guys, gf's R33 has a serious fuel leak from #5 injector.

Anyway being a RB20 person, RB25 is a new engine to work on, so I've removed the injectors/rail and was wondering if the "cap" seals the very top (highest point) of the injector? or is it just the "upper o-ring" that would be the upper most sealing point and culprit in this case?

Also a quick research on the interweb shows this being the upper o-ring p/n 16618-10V05. Can anyone confirm this and what our local Nissan charges per o-ring? Highly doubt they will be $2.00ea like FRSPORT (http://www.frsport.com/Nissan-Genuine-OEM-Injector-O-Ring-UPPER-SR20DET-KA24DE-RB25-RB26-VG30_p_60199.html)..

Appreciate all feedback :)

Will double check when I get home, bought a set for one injector and turns out the car had SARD 800cc :(

Relubed the SARD's and no more leak..

If they are leaking its more then likely an injector problem

The fuel enters from the side (Rail) and then goes out the bottom. If the fuel is coming out the top then that injector needs to go in the bin

Taarks also sell OEM o-rings in kits.

The smaller o-ring is what seals fuel pressure from entering the plenum, the larger o-ring prevents fuel from leaking out the top.

I bought a can of silicone spray and pretty much drenched both the o-rings and fuel rail before installation to avoid damaging/twisting anything. Seemed to work pretty well.

I can supply Oring kits for side feeds from the wholesaler, I think they were around $10 an injector last I checked. Not sure if they are OEM, but why would it matter? Nissan didn't make the Orings anyway, and rubber fuel seals have come a long way since the RB was made.

I just found out they can supply 550cc side feeds too, probably the same as Nismo's at a guess.

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
