ok so last year I traded my 07 Aurion for what I think is a series 2 gts-t r33 skyline.

This car knocked my freaking socks off.

The previous owner spent 10k upgrading the engine and I do not know what he did.

I let someone drive me home in it and the result was front end damage. no damage to the engine however.

Recently it was running pretty well.. getting up there like it did when I first got it however it was what I think is called misfiring or topping out at 4.5k revs(bouncing back and forth from 4.4-4.5) Im new to the internal combustion engine.

Anyway I took it to a regular mechanic which turned out to be a mistake.

It took them half a week to figure out that it had an aftermarket computer and what they called a load sensor(acting as a map sensor?)

this load sensor was burnt out and could supposedly have caused damage to the ecu

so $1150 later im back with a standard computer and airflow meter. they also put some new plugs in

of course this wasn't the end of it.

the engine now cuts in and out if you apply too much throttle. almost like bunny hopping.

Thoughts? Am I best taking this to a performance mechanic? Wreckers? Should I find a way to put the aftermarket computer back in or is that not possible without that same load sensor? please help

SHOW US THE PARTS THEY TOOK OUT.

you need to put the computer back in and replace the other part they took out. im guessing a afm. you then need to name and shame the mechanic who has taken you for a mug and ripped you off.

either for that reason, or for the reason he's replaced the aftermarket computer with a standard.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
