It had splitfires in her. Then changed to some ebay ones..they are red.

brand new z32 afm has been installed

ive put in 3 new sets of plugs... 7es ones (colder type plug)

Also had the cooler piping fixed up last week as well. . It was fouling the swaybars etc

Also cleaned the iac valve

checked the injectors and had new orings installed

any advice would be great.... this car is doing my head in

So car hammers when cold? And you hammer it when cold? That's dumb.

Why write any advice would be great after receiving heaps of advice?

Should we take that as you are rejecting advice given up untill that point?

And to clarify. I suggested the three things as they are all likely causes causes of your car running like it does. You are welcome to ignore them but I would suggest pressure testing your inlet.

Ben, I actually thought the same as you....but I then realised that just maybe, giving a little credit to the OP, that mentioning that it goes hard when cold but has a bigger problem when hot is at least a valid piece of information.

I mean, if it were me being the OP I would have felt the need to tell people that I don't normally punt it when cold, just to make sure they realise I'm not an idiot but only did it for diagnostic purposes, but obviously some people don't feel the need to allay suspicion in such circumstances.

Im not trying to start an argument. .. but picking up on " it hammers when cold" and telling me im dumb.. to me is a key peice of information to help diagnosis

as for writing "any advice with a reason for your advice" .. anyone can rattle of parts of a car afm, gearbox, plugs... but why do you think its that part will help me alot more

I didn't say you are dumb.

I said hammering a cold engine is dumb.

I think it's a boost leak or dirty afm because they make the car have the symptoms you are suggesting

I also couldn't be stuffed writing along response explaining my reasons initially.

Just like you didn't bother to write a post that explains your problem and the car history fully.

Might want to check the compression and timing, then put the splitfires back in and check for leaks with carby cleaner. Injector O-rings lubed?

We are assuming the setup was tuned before not just someone elses nistune from ebay with an Ebay special turbo bolted on ?

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
