I think you miss understood what I was saying, I purchase my car 5years ago in stock form, there has been nothing but problems since. I don't think there is many stock parts left to replace.

WARNING - CSH about to begin.

There is a guy on another forum.

He has an R31 GTSX.

He has millions of spares including 2 x GTSR manifolds.

Anyway..

he had this issue with a missfire.

he replaced the coils, spark plugs, vacuum lines, fuel pump, injector seals, filters etc etc.

spent months

Then went to try a different ECU.

The ECU he tried didn't work

Plugged his old ECU back in.

On the drive home, car worked like it was from the showroom.

Basically, he had dust or some sort of crap in either the loom plug or ECU plug.

the removal of the ecu, then plugging in another then the original cleaned the pin enough for it to stop f**king up.

point of my story is it could be something very simple giving you your head aches.

something you haven't touched.

Engine has been rebuilt.

can't be that (well unlikely)

What has not been changed?

Did you get new silicon hoses for the intercooler?

have you made a simple tester to find any air leaks (mountain bike tube, hand pump and 10 minutes of your time can do this)

what is the ECU? have you cleaned the connectors with electrical contact cleaner?

AFM? (cleaned? resoldered? tried a known working one?)

coil packs?

fuel filter?

fuel pump rewired to get full voltage full time?

air intake sucking closed?

oxygen sensor f**ked?

Cat convertor functional? (remove cat and cat back and test drive (bit loud))

to be honest I can't remember what you have and haven't tried cause it's been going for so long now.

All I have replaced about half of my joins, I'm in the process of doing the rest just ran out of hose.

Yeah I made a tester at work with a built in guage.

Nistune. Il clean them when I get a spare couple of minutes.

Brand new z32 afm

Splitfires

New filter

Walbro hard wired

3inch steel intake with an apexi pod

I think I might try the o2 sensor next

It's a gutted cat. But as said earlier it's got a hks cat back so it is restrictive.

I think the exhaust is just masking the real problem, you shouldn't be having boost control issues just because you have a free-flowing exhaust. The surge issue is different though, have you checked where your TP cut has been set to?

The boost issue was from exhaust restriction, what else or other mufflers do you have in the exhaust pipe? have you ever tried a dyno run with the exhaust dropped off before the cat? if you are making 230rwkws now on 14psi then I don't think you should have an issue doing 250rwkws at 18psi.

Running rough with black smoke and flooded spark plugs is not a definition for compressor surging. its got some thing to do with injection, AFM and ignition. Its freaks me out as you can give any thing that goes wrong with you car a name that links to the turbocharger.

I have a Nistune license, I can't give to you but if you wish to send me your tune file and tell me the part of the data you wish to change, then I can have that changed for you and return the updated file. How ever I'm not responsible if what ever I've asked to change makes the situation worse.

Stao - sorry if you miss understood, I'm not saying it's turbo related. The boost is sitting very stable at 14/15psi constantly, the car just feels like it pulls then doesn't then pulls again. As if I'm opening and closing the throttle. It's a really strange feeling, but now that I think about it it's only been since I installed the front shaft, I will do the diagnostic to turn off the 4wd and see if it still does it, maybe there is just too much driveline for my tune to handle. It's very hard to diagnose a particular issue when you have 2 other problems at the same time.

Yeah I've been keeping my eye out for something but I've also gotta have the cash for tyres, as said above I'm due for a new set anyway. I'm almost tempted to just find a brand new set, like all I need is a cheap rim/tyre combo in a 17x8 +6 or 17x9 +30. It's a pretty common size.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
