I had gone for one of my usual drives when suddenly the car began to loose power. I had to gear down so as to give the car more power. This worked for a while but whenever Id boost above 0 on the boost gauge my car would slowly begin to loose power. The idle on the car was rough and when i stopped at the lights the car almost went off a couple of times. There was also a lot of black smoke when i looked behind. When i came to a stop i could smell a lot of fuel. The following were checked:

Spark plugs- found a lot of black stuff on them. Probably un burnt fuel

computer- changed and got a power FC

Intercooler- checked for any holes or loose pipes didnt find anything

Checked ignition coil and module- they seemed to work.

AFM- seem to work well on another skyline.

Fuel pump- checked and seems to work Bosch 044

I havent got a fuel regulator coz i still have the standard turbo and the fuel pump worked fine with no problems for about 5 months. WHAT COULD THIS BE! STRESSED.

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
    • I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.
    • And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.
    • From watching the 6 hour, it seems they've really got the class A2 Ford Mustang sorted, as it was cutting it up in lap times with he X1 cars, which are all those late model turbo BMWs. I have no real idea about either of them, but watching what was happening at the 6Hour, it made the Mustang which is meant to be in a slower class look very impressive.
    • Also Mark, perfect timing for you to offer Fab9 to open an Aus branch for them, where you'll setup all the contracts that basically you're just the paperman, everything goes through Aus for their gear, and you can buy a piece of paper off of them once every 3 months that's really expensive. Tariffs aren't paid on exports after all. And for it, you'll just take 10% cut for your name on the papers. Oh, and a free NC intake setup and air box...
