I might of had a similar problem to you a few months back. anyways heres the story

Just did GTR Cruise 2 and coming home fanging it with the other gtr's (Obvioulsy to the speed limit). On the highway i shifted down to 3rd and boosted it, it felt like the car had dick all power and made it sound like it was struggling for air. Initially I thought the Bov's were seized, hence blowing air out on boost. anyway i "baby'ed" my car home. After a few hours stopping at my girls house, i drove it home, nothing was wrong then, so i let it go without another care in the world.

A few weeks later i was boosting it hard in 2nd, to the h-way speed limit (hahaha), and poooooof!! car gets farked.

anyways to save the rest of the story, my pipe to the INTAKE of the cooler had popped off. seriously.

So at the end i think the loss in power was due to the failure of the worm clamp to the INTAKE side of the intercooler. I bought a new one and never had a problem again. So i think on the GTR Cruise is was loose and allowing air to bypass the cooler and hence loose power.

You shouldnt need a pipe diagram for your car, its pretty straight forward once you take off the front bar.

good luck, pm me if you still have the sh*ts.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
