Injector plugs dodgy?

Narrow it down to which cylinder by unplugging one injector at a time until the misfire doesn't change

Elimination.

Say it's cyl #2

Swap the coil pack between #1 and #2 and see if the fault follows the coil pack. New coils can be faulty too.

If it doesn't, remove coil number 2 from its mounted position, put in any spark plug, earth the body with a jumper lead, disconnect injector number 2 (so you dont foul the existing plug) and start the motor. Identify if you have spark.

If you do have spark, the injector could be faulty or the wiring to the injector could be faulty.

If you do have spark, and the injector is firing, check the compression of the cylinder when the engine is cold and hot.

Narrow the fault down and come back with your results.

does it have any problem when cold? How many Km's has the car done? Like it is hitting the limiter? My car had a similar problem at one point around 40 000km mark. When accelerating hard it would be like it hit limiter and the tacho would sometimes jump around like crazy even at 3000rpm, it would also miss and carry on when hot, sometimes when cold anyway after about a month of trying to figure it out a light came on the dash i took it into work and got it put on the nissan consult, i had a code for the O2 senor (which has main effect when car is hot) so i replaced it and problem fixed. In short your problem maybe the O2 sensor starting to fail? maybe?? just a suggestion hope it helps

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
