Hey all I found some info on some american nissan website and there are a few posts which say ethanol will cause nismo injectors or any pintle style injector to fail rapidly. This was the only website which turned such result. Whats the go behind this? I intended to run a new ecu with flex fuel in my car down the track but this is information which could delay this.

Oh no, the sky is falling... :P

Plenty of guys using Nismo injectors on e85, and many other styles of pintle injectors. All injectors these days are ethanol tolerant as they need to be able to run on 10% ethanol fuel anyway. If you want a good top feed injector for the job, grab a set of 40mm bosch ev14 1000's and the black rail I have here. ;)

Yeah I thought so, Ive read plenty of people using these injectors with ethanol fuel. Just when you hear the bad shit, it sticks much better and I gotta clarify. You think 740's are big enough for flex fuel? Whats this black rail? Link me. Just checked out those injectors, hell I think I could sell the nismos, buy those and have change.

Failing injectors probably not, more like the old fuel lines deteriorating quicker and clogging up the injectors. A few of my mates have that issue with their injectors cloggin up with black crap when running purely e85 for around 6 months

Damn, all the easily changeable fuel lines in my have been changed. How much effort it is to change both lines to/from the tank to/from the engine? We accidentally ran E10 fuel in our old boat and I kid you not after a few hours use, the engine stalled. The amount of black shit caught in the carbies was awesome.

If the black crap was from your lines you would know about it. The lines would be hard and cracked. There is plenty of information out there suggesting the black gunk some experience is from the un-lined tanks some servo's are using, not from the car.

Here is the black proflow rail, this should fit perfectly under the 33 gtst plenum if you use the short 40mm ev14 1000's. You would have to run an aftermarket reg with it though. PM me for information.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
