And if you move the injector to another cylinder, does the missfire move as well?

In any case, since you have factory ECU you need either factory injectors or aftermarket drop in replacement of the same flow rate. Also you may find it hard to buy single injectors they generally come in a set

And just because it is not coilpacks or spark plugs, does not automatically mean that the injector is faulty. Could be the loom/plug on either of the injector or coilpack. or it could be a broken ringland, valve seat damage, or any of a number of other similarly nasty mechanical problems that can cause misfires.

Well it’s An all day event to switch out the injectors on the V35.

looks like I need to give you the whole story. Get comfortable.

I bought the car off a work colleague who has bad knees and nearly wrote the car off while at the lights cause his knee gave way.

 I’m in Darwin and the humidity is a car killer in so many factions it’s not funny.

since his knee gave way he parked the car and tried to sell it for 2 years at a rediculous price. He only put 1/4 tank with fuel saver in it. I bought it for 4K after it sat for the 2 years not realising how bad it was. I shouldn’t have bought it.

The tank was rusted the fuel pump was ruined. The other fuel level sensor was also buggered. The clutch slave piston was also ruined (probably why he had so many issues with his weak knees).

The battery died and he never ran it for the whole time it was parked in his carport for 2 years. The drivers window also doesn’t work.

Ive replaced the tank, fuel pump, fuel level sensor, spark plugs and the clutch slave piston. I placed an inline fuel filter as extra protect.

I drove it to work for a week and it ran fine until Friday when it had no throttle response. I had auto electricians look at it and read the ecu and test it and they said it was a faulty ecu. I sent the ecu to Injectronics who said it was dead and sent me a replacement for $1300 (ecu, key sensor and key electronics and bcu). After I reinstalled the new ecu ect I still had no accelerator response.

I spoke to a car guy at work and he recommended the only auto electrician he would use in Darwin. He said he flys guys up from Victorian to work on his cars because all of them up here are terrible. Anyway I explained what was wrong and he came to my house and the first thing he did was go straight for the accelerator pedal and replaced a rubber stop that holds the pedal at the correct spot and all of a sudden the accelerator worked again. Downside I had a check engine light and when he read the ecu it said there was a misfire on cylinder 2. He swapped the coil packs from 1 & 2 and it still had the same error on No2.
Injectronics sent me the wiring diagram so I could check continuity from the ecu to the coil packs and it was 100% good. I checked the signal while the engine was running and the coil trigger signal was being sent as well as 12v + and earth. 
 

So I figured the 2 year old fuel that was still in the lines has seized the No2 injector open (no2 spark plug is wet) and it’s too rich for the spark to ignite it. Therefore the injector needs replacing.

unless someone has a better idea of what it is that’s causing the misfire.
 

I figured let’s replace all the injectors with reliable good ones and if that’s doesn’t fix it replace all the coil packs to make sure.

Yes, so, injectors out, onto the cleaning and flow testing rig. Ultrasonic cleaning while pulsing with solvent supplied through them. If they do not recover - then and only then to buy replacements.

How do you do that at home?

I don’t have a cleaning/testing rig!

or the time to waste trying to do it. I’d rather just spend the money and get better new ones that aren’t a maybe fix.

Generally speaking you mail them out to a specialist who will test all of them and tell you what can be saved and what was beyond fixing. If you cannot be bothered to deal with that you can buy them for a price of ~54 USD per injector from Hitachi which owns Unisia JECS and therefore these should be OEM equivalent: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5428377&cc=1431956&pt=6224&jsn=813

If you want to go even cheaper these are supposedly remanufactured used replacements: https://www.injectorplanet.com/products/unisia-jecs-fbjc100-nissan-16600-5l700

VQ35HR and VQ35DE use different injectors. DE calls for a 4 hole EV6ES format injector that flows 306 cc/min manufactured by Unisia JECS. The HR revision calls for a 12 hole Denso EV14 format injector shared with the QR25DE. The link you show is very likely fake R35 injectors which are not a direct fit and will require retuning. Even if you found another 306 cc/min fuel injector that fits the fuel rail and intake keep in mind that you need identical spray pattern and injector latency in order to have proper behavior. If you want to run higher flow injectors for whatever reason real R35 injectors are only sold through Nissan with part number 1660038B0A which are more like 180-250 USD per injector instead of 260 AUD for a set of six. If you have no particular attachment to Denso EV14 style injectors the Bosch 997.1 Turbo injectors are sold under p/n 62379. Bottom line, if your goal is to just get your car running again for the least money as quickly as possible buy the Injector Planet refurbs. If you want to save some extra money ask if you can send in your old injectors and have any of the usable ones applied as credit against the refurbs. It only saves 7 USD per injector but it sounds like you want to minimize cost.

Is not the actual answer to that....

Injectors come out, go in a bag, into another car, driven to the fuel injection service location of your choice.

for cleaning.

You don't have too send them out. He lives in Darwin. It may not be a big city, but it is a city, and there would have to be at least 3 workshops in town that can do fuel injection servicing, including cleaning injectors. Darwin is a major hub for heavy mining and there would have to be many may places that work on diesel engines of all scales (from road transport all the way up to 2MW Cat stationary engines).

It's not difficult.

Yes Darwin is the major city in NT.

Because of how remote we are everything come with attached Darwin Tax and everything takes longer to get here. There is minimal competition or choice so everyone charges more and does the worst job to get it done. You can’t trust anyone up here and if you find someone you can trust it’s guaranteed they will leave soon.

I got a quote from Yamaha for part for my bike and they quoted me $1k, I got a quote from Adelaide and it was $500 inc postage.

All I want is to get the car running as quick easy and cheap as possible but not a botched Band-Aid fix. I want reliability. Which is why I was thinking aftermarket instead of refurb. Sending them to USA for refurb seems rediculous. But if that’s what it takes!

When it comes to injectors aftermarket isn't really any better. You just need to find the right injectors for the stock tune. Keep in mind that according to the EPC the Unisia JECS injectors are not necessarily the right injectors for your car, it could be a Bosch injector or something else:

Theres a few good places here in Qld that can clean and flow your injectors.

Brisbane Fuel Injection
Longboost performance
Golebys Parts

Pretty sure some Cooldrive stores do injector cleaning.

I feel your pain on remote location tax.
Most economical way is to remove injectors and get them cleaned.
Besides that brand new from nissan are the only other option as anything else may require injector and MAF rescale which in NT is not going to happen.

NT sucks doesnt it, but even in Alice we have a place that does injector cleaning. I usually don't bother though and send to Adelaide as there are heaps of decent places.

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
