Nissan Skyline R32 engine factory workshop and repair manual download

- Safety first (read and follow)
- Wear safety glasses, nitrile gloves, and long sleeves to protect from fuel and solvents.
- Work in a well-ventilated area, outdoors or in a garage with doors open.
- Have a rated ABC fire extinguisher within reach; no smoking or sparks near fuel.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid electrical sparks.
- Relieve fuel system pressure before opening any fuel line (see tools below).

- Overview of what you’ll do and why
- Clean or replace fuel injectors so spray pattern and flow are correct; dirty or leaking injectors cause rough idle, poor fuel economy, reduced power, and misfires.
- Two common cleaning methods:
- On-car pressurized cleaning using a dedicated injector-cleaning kit hooked to the fuel rail (fast, no injector removal, limited effectiveness for heavily clogged injectors).
- Off-car ultrasonic and flow-bench cleaning after removing injectors (more effective for heavy carbon/clogs; requires removing injectors and more tools).
- You may only need new injector O-rings and seals; full injector replacement is needed if flow is inconsistent, an injector leaks internally, or resistance/out-of-spec tests fail.

- Tools (basic tools are assumed; detailed descriptions and how to use each)
- Ratchet and socket set (metric sizes 8–19 mm commonly)
- Use to remove intake piping, bolts on fuel rail, and manifold components. Choose the correct socket size, attach to ratchet, and turn clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Use extensions to reach recessed bolts.
- Combination wrench set (metric)
- Use where a socket won’t fit. Place open end or box end on the nut/bolt and turn. Good for small tight spots.
- Torque wrench (click-type, range ~10–100 Nm or ft-lb)
- Required to tighten bolts to factory torque values (prevents over/under-tightening). Set desired torque, tighten until the wrench clicks.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Remove hose clamps, loosen clamps on air box or intake piping. Hold screwdriver firmly and turn.
- Pliers (needle-nose and slip-joint)
- Remove small clamps and plastic clips; needle-nose helps with electrical connectors. Grip and squeeze as needed; protect plastic parts from squeezing too hard.
- Fuel line quick-disconnect tool(s) (if the R32 uses factory quick-disconnect fittings)
- Special plastic ring-like tools that depress retainer clips inside the fuel line fitting so you can pull the line off the rail. Choose the size that fits the fuel line and slide it between the fitting and the rail to release the clip.
- If you don’t have this, you can carefully use a small flat screwdriver to lift the lock tab — but that is riskier and can damage fittings.
- Multimeter (digital)
- Test injector coil resistance and wiring for continuity. Set to Ohms (Ω). With injector unplugged, place probes on the two injector pins; compare reading to spec (approx 11–17 Ω for many injectors but check R32 engine spec). Also check for short to ground.
- Fuel pressure gauge (with adapter for Nissan fuel rail)
- Use to relieve and verify fuel system pressure and to run on-car cleaning kits if required. Attach to Schrader-type valve or use an adapter. Follow gauge instructions: open valve to relieve pressure into a catch container.
- Catch pan and absorbent rags
- Collect spilled fuel and clean up drips immediately.
- Gloves and eye protection (disposable nitrile gloves recommended)
- Protect from fuel/solvent contact.
- Injector puller (optional, sometimes required)
- Helps remove stuck injectors from the rail or manifold without damaging them. Use per tool instructions: engage puller to injector top and tighten to pull injector straight out.
- Ultrasonic cleaner (tank large enough for injector bodies; 1–3 liters or larger)
- For off-car deep cleaning. Fill with recommended solvent/water mix (per machine instructions), hang injectors in basket so tips are submerged but electrical terminals stay dry, run cycle per instructions to remove deposits.
- Injector flow-testing kit (optional / professional alternative)
- Measures and compares flow rates of each injector. If you cannot get one, a shop or injector specialist can provide testing.
- On-car pressurized injector cleaning kit (can/cartridge, adapter set)
- Includes pressurized canister of cleaning solvent and adapters to connect between the fuel rail and fuel pump (isolated from the fuel tank). Provides detergent solvent pushed through injectors under pressure while engine runs. Follow kit instructions exactly.
- Torque/fastener hardware & gaskets (replacement parts to have on hand)
- Injector O-ring kit (top and bottom seals), intake manifold gaskets if disturbed, fuel rail mounting gasket if used, and any hose clamps.
- Replacement injectors (OEM or matched aftermarket)
- Needed if injectors are out of spec, physically damaged, leaking, or cannot be cleaned satisfactorily. Match part number to your engine (RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT all have different injectors).

- How to use key tools in this job (practical usage)
- How to use the multimeter for injector resistance
- Turn meter to Ohms. Remove injector connector. Probe the two pins on the injector (or injector harness ends). Read resistance. Compare to spec. Large deviation or infinite/open means bad injector coil.
- How to relieve fuel pressure safely (using fuel pressure gauge or by fuse/relay + running engine)
- Remove fuel pump fuse/relay, start engine and let it stall to use remaining pressure, or attach fuel pressure gauge with a bleed screw to depressurize into a catch bottle. Always collect fuel into a suitable container.
- How to use fuel line disconnect tools
- Locate the plastic sleeve clip on the quick-disconnect fitting. Insert the correct size tool between the line and rail until it contacts the retainer, then pull the line straight off.
- How to use an on-car cleaning kit
- Follow kit instructions: isolate fuel pump (disable pump), connect pressurized solvent canister to fuel rail, prime canister, start engine and allow cleaner to flow through injectors while engine runs (often for limited time). Never run engine with solvent alone for extended periods—follow kit time limits.
- How to use an ultrasonic cleaner
- Remove injectors, cap electrical terminals or keep them above liquid, submerge injector tips, run ultrasonic cycles per machine instruction. After ultrasonic cleaning, flow-test or at least run a few short pulses into a waste container to confirm spray pattern.

- Procedure overview (high-level bullets — follow safety notes above)
- Prepare: disconnect battery, relieve fuel pressure, label and photograph connectors and hoses for reassembly.
- Access: remove intake tubing, airbox, and any engine covers to reach fuel rail and injectors.
- Disconnect: unplug injector electrical connectors, disconnect fuel lines using appropriate disconnect tool, catch fuel.
- Remove: unbolt fuel rail, carefully lift fuel rail with injectors attached, then pull injectors out of the intake manifold (rotate/pull straight; use injector puller if stuck).
- Inspect: check injector tips for heavy carbon, check O-rings for cracks/flattening, check electrical connector pins for corrosion.
- Clean:
- On-car method: install on-car cleaning kit per instructions and run cleaning cycles.
- Off-car deep clean: remove injectors, ultrasonic clean, replace O-rings/seals, and dry. If possible, perform a flow-test to confirm matched flow and proper spray pattern.
- Reinstall: lubricate new O-rings with clean engine oil or silicone grease, press injectors into rail or manifold, torque rail bolts to spec, reconnect fuel lines and electrical connectors, reconnect battery.
- Test: turn key to prime fuel (check for leaks), start engine and inspect for leaks and smooth running. Road test and monitor.

- Common parts to replace and why
- Injector O-rings and seals
- Why: O-rings harden, crack, or flatten with age, causing fuel leaks or vacuum leaks. Replace every time injectors are removed.
- What: injector upper (rail) O-rings and lower (intake) O-rings — buy a kit specific to your engine/injector type.
- Fuel injectors (full unit)
- Why: if an injector has failed electrically (open coil), leaks internally, has severe clogging that ultrasonic cleaning cannot fix, or flow rates are out of balance, replacement is required.
- What: OEM injectors matched to the R32 engine (RB20, RB25, RB26, etc.). Use part numbers for your engine or a reputable aftermarket matched set.
- Fuel filter
- Why: a clogged fuel filter can reduce flow and send debris to injectors. Replace if old or contaminated.
- What: inline or in-tank filter per model; check service manual.
- Intake manifold or throttle body gaskets (if removed)
- Why: to prevent vacuum or boost leaks after reassembly.
- What: gaskets specified for manifold/throttle body for your engine.

- How to tell if injector replacement is needed (symptoms and tests)
- Symptoms: persistent misfire on a cylinder, rough idle, fuel smell, poor acceleration, uneven injector resistance, fuel leaks, or black smoke under load.
- Quick tests:
- Multimeter resistance out of spec or open circuit.
- No spray or poor spray pattern when actuated on a bench/power source.
- Flow imbalance on a flow test.
- If any of the above occur, replace or send injectors to a specialist for flow testing and rebuilding.

- Extra tools you might need and why
- Injector puller
- Why: some injectors seize in the manifold; puller removes them without damage.
- Vacuum/pressure gauge
- Why: to check for intake manifold leaks after reassembly.
- Compressed air and fitting
- Why: blow out ports and dry injectors after ultrasonic cleaning; use caution and low pressure.
- Professional flow/test rig or shop service
- Why: accurate flow balancing requires equipment most DIYers don’t have. If you lack a flow bench, consider professional service for testing and calibration.
- Service manual or factory repair manual (Haynes, Chilton, or factory)
- Why: gives torque specs, connector locations, and engine-specific procedures crucial to avoid damage.

- Final tips and cautions
- Replace O-rings every time injectors are removed.
- Label connectors with tape/marker or take photos to avoid wiring mistakes.
- Do not run the engine with fuel-system cleaner solvent alone for long periods; follow kit time limits.
- If unsure about injector diagnostics or flow testing, have injectors professionally tested and serviced—this saves time and money versus repeatedly replacing parts.
- Keep a clean workspace and avoid contaminating injector tips; dirt will defeat cleaning efforts.

- Typical parts list to purchase before starting (verify for your engine)
- Injector O-ring/seal kit for your R32 engine
- Fuel filter (if due)
- Replacement injectors (only if diagnostics require)
- Small quantities of silicone grease or clean engine oil for O-rings
- Fuel-safe catch container and clamps/hose if needed

- Quick summary of when to do which cleaning method
- On-car pressurized cleaning: first step, quick, good for mild to moderate deposits.
- Off-car ultrasonic + flow testing: needed for heavy carbon, poor spray pattern, or when flow imbalance persists after on-car cleaning.
- Replace injectors if electrical failure, internal leaks, or flow tests fail to meet spec.
