Fuel Injector Cleaninig
#16
#17
It usually takes a while of using defective gasoline to build up deposits, however certain driving styles have been shown to be worse.
Like driving less than 15 miles per crank up, then hot soaking for 4 hours, then repeating over and over again.
This style can create deposits in 500 miles and serious deposits in 3000.
I would expect G35 owners to do a weekly blow out the soot weekend drive.
Hitting near redline a few times can stretch out the need to clean injectors.
AGAIN it all depends on the fuel you purchase..........which refinery on which day.
"The fuel requirement for this test is 500 gallons, and the duration is 40 days. The PFI test is a pass if the fouling of all injectors remains 5% or less for the entire test."

I've always just purchased from eBay. You can't beat the prices there.

I've heard of people getting great results using seafoam in older cars, they put 1/3 in the gas, 1/3 in the oil, and 1/3 slurped in the vacuum line, allowing a lot of air along with the liquid. Then you run the enigine at 2K rpm for 5-10 minutes- there should be some foul grey smoke coming out the pipes but it's supposed to. Personally I wouldn't do it, that gunk is partially what hold you car together.
