My Skyline Needs Help!

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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
