In an attempt to clean up the top of the shit fight that is the N/A rb25 neo because I now run copper spark plugs that need replaced more often (and just for a better look) I relocated the vacume lines and one heater hose at the back above the cam covers (pictures below will explain) my car doesnt seem to pull as hard?? It idles fine, no engine lights come on or anything, it just doesnt pull as hard. Its got me stuffed, I havent broken or removed anything, just relocated it. Can anyone help?

This could be monitored with a vac gauge but it sounds like you have a vac leak possibly although the rb25de isn't suppose to be a fast car . But that's what I think just make sure all the lines you changed are not leaking and all clamps are secure.

One of the hoses you have removed controls the baffle in the intake that activates for mid-range torque and power. It runs from a copper diaphram on the manifold after the throttle body. It has an actuator connected, that missing plug. with the engine running you can see it open and close when the plug is connected/disconnected. the tube going to it must NOT be blocked or bypassed. It has to go to the intake post-filter

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
