This weekend I changed out the injectors to other stocks one since I was having leak by causing misfire and high EGT. I swapped out the injectors and also while under I double checked all connections.

I went to start the car and it wouldn't start, but it did turned over, dumbfounded I found that the CAS sensor had come unplugged even though I didn't touch it (Damn elves...) anyways I put it in and it started up but I instantly noticed the misfiring and the lack of power. Could this be the main issue?

Car will not boost and it feels like I am driving an NA, I looked over all the hoses for a leak checked the PCV system and cannot find anything. I have a power FC and checked the sensors and the AFMs are showing roughly the same Volts and did a check on those, TPS is sitting at .5V and I'm pulling 20 deg at idle, checked injectors

I check everything and still scratching head, but all help is needed. Right now I need my car on Sat night/Sun Morning but let me know if you can help.

Copy all. That was the thing I was looking at the TPS. Now how would I go about reseting it? I know that the idle voltage should be .5V, but is there anything else I should look at with the TPS.

For the CAS, with my Power FC I'm sitting at +20 deg at idle, but I can advance the timing to 25 and it will smooth it out, I had checked the plugs and they were gapped correctly so I think it might be the CAS as the engine cranked but the CAS was unplugged...damn engine elves...

I'm at work but I will check it out today.

They were second hand out of a running GTR my friend has. He upgraded his and I was there when he pulled them. The car ran fine with them and we just switched them over.

Tried to start it again today and it was still misfiring. Pulled the injector harness for each one to ensuring firing and all cylinders are firing...

Okay, after one cigarette (I don't smoke) and a redbull I cracked into it...and I found that number two injector was dead, like whitney houston dead. Swapped that out and I am still getting misfires, but ran better. Tomorrow I'm going to check the coilpacks and see if one popped on me. Also the sparkies too. Got to love this though. I'm driving around my car sounds like a boxster... :(

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
