We study nonlinear random resistor diode networks at the transition from the non percolating to the directed percolating phase. The resistor-like bonds and the diode-like bonds under forward bias voltage obey a generalized Ohm's law, $V \sim I^r$. Based on general grounds as symmetries and relevance we develop a field theoretic model. We focus on the average two-port resistance, which is governed at the transition by the resistance exponent $\phi_r$. By employing renormalization group methods we calculate $\phi_r$ for arbitrary $r$ to one-loop order. Then we address the fractal dimensions characterizing directed percolation clusters. Via considering distinct values of the nonlinearity $r$, we determine the dimension of the red bonds, the chemical path and the backbone to two-loop order.
