Yeah, money is no problem is just the booking in and waiting etc I suppose ill have to if i cant track it down.

No one thinks gasket ?

an exhaust leak post turbo would just make it noisy, pre turbo would also be noisy but could cause boost to drop, neither would make it run rich or misfire though

leaky injector?

never heard of them leaking into the cylinder, I guess its possible though.

other thing to check is if you have a rising rate regulator that the lines haven't fallen off, however that would probably make it lean I think, not rich.

Are they all covered exaclty the same? If so that rules out a leaky injector.

Then u need to do a pressure or smoke test on the entire intake system from airflow meter to inlet manifold.

Just for a quick look if u can check on the fc hand controller in settings and airflow make sure its still set on ur current airflow meter. If theyre stock then it should be on stock. If z32 then on vg30 etc. Its an easy thing to accidently change and sometimes will still run but tune is waay off.

If the intake is all sealed up then the dyno is the next best bet. Give ur tuner some new plugs so he can run it up on the rollers with fresh plugs. So let him putt hem i. Just before he runs it.

It sounds like Lean pop to me, if it's only soon it as it rolls on boost, check the fuel pressure after the filter, I'd just replace the filter for the sake of it. Is the car running stock boost?

It never realy got off boost driving, it was just short bursts up and down my street, the plugs were dark but I think that was because I had that stupid fuel tank breather plugged into the TB lol. Once you found that prob, than it was missing just a's it rolled on boost, the main way I found out it was lean poping, was I turned the boost down from 16psi back to stock, and it got alot better. Hardly did it at all, that's when I realised it was lack of fuel, and a during fuel pump was to blame.

But in saying that if I would have changed the plugs after we change the TB plumbing I'd say the plugs would have gotten light coloured.

Haha oh yeah forgot u did that with the breather. I suppose thats 1 way of getting more fuel in the engine without bigger injectors. Haha just let the engine suck it from the fuel tank lol.

Lol we should do that with my gtr next time it's on the dyno.... Save me heaps of cash on injectors. Bahahaha

Yea it was sucking vapour, it was just running mega rich and backfiring when you lifted your foot. Like a big back fire lol 1 meter flames, like a gun going off. Haha it blow the middle muffler from the inside out hahaha broke all the little tac dipple welds holding it together. I learnt my lession there hahaha

I think I may have a couple of gaskets which are pretty much f**ked, ordered new ones from nissan.

Will check the intake.

more about my car, has a new fuel pump. plugs are 1500kms old(not gapped to .8), new oil. and its running a haltech so no afm and on o2 sensors!!

althought i blew a hose and covered the pods in oil and i had a few inlet hoses off the other day and saw alot of oil in there. so looks like turbo to inlet manifold pipes will have to be pulled out and cleaned out from all the oil

i was gonna check th igniter module.

i think i have a bad grounding in the engine but...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
