I have a 1996 series II R33 skyline (turbo) and it has spent almost 10 weeks at 2 or 3 different mechanics in town to no avail. The car will idle hunt...rev up & down irratically...wont sit on 1000rpm and pure like a kitten unless cold or you sit there and be patient and by luck get it to idle normally. The car stalls at any gear change after its warmed up. It also has nothing from 4000rpm onwards...but from idle to 4000rpm its a rocket...coil problem? AFM has been replaced and the engine is a tank...all tests have been done...compression etc and the mechanics told me that the engine and its components are perfect...the car more or less is a tank a perfect import.....i bought a new Garrett turbo 340hp....car has all other normal mods...run on stock boost. the mechanics have swapped computers with a 32....and all other components. The car was fine til the stock turbo blew which was fine...then upgraded to some monsta 600hp turbo which then was faulty....have bitten the bullet and bought a quality garret turbo run off the stocko manifold. have no ide what to do next....my options are limited.....mechanics have checked everything possible....it has to be something small which i may never find which could cost me a great car.....so has anyone had this before or know what to do next? otherwise my r33 will be used for parts.....

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.

      R32 only blows hot air

      The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
