I really dont know what it is but my car is fucked

Can someone please help me with my 1996 r33 gtst series 2. I bought it 4 month ago at 290hp with apexi power fc and fmic and apexi pod filter and straight pipe exhaust with some shitty exhaust but still it sounded good still.

ever since i played with my pfc hand controller and dnt know what i did bt it wouldnt start. I got it fixed by hyperdrive they put new spark plugg and and put the setting back.

but what im on about is i got yellowed sticker took it back to hyperdrive found out the head was f**ked got a new one and put poncam in and now it pretty much a piece of shit

From the little bit of that that I can actually understand, is you got a cam installed when you replaced the head and now the car isn't running the same as before?

Did you get it tuned with the new cam set up?

They said they tuned it to get it running. But costed me $3500. 

I paid for a second hand head that they got and cleaned it and that and i came in bought the poncam so they can put it in while it was open and did other stuff

Yerh i got hyperdrive booked for friday. So i gotta wait till then.

but quick question.

my mate drove my car and he said might just be the clutch ? What you guys rekn? Cause i have heard from one person only short solid shifter is bad for the clutch. And i asked what slipping is and he told me that when u go to change gear and you rev it the gear doesnt go in properly so your just pretty much reving and it not in gear properly ?

what you guys thinks? Cause it clould be that and my and timing cause engine vibrate crazy ways to

You could just rev the car with the gearbox in neutral to test your friends diagnosis. I would be willing to bet as stated previously in the comments that you have a timing issue though.  If in doubt always go back to the last repair that was made before the car started running like crap.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
