Okay. So I ended up finishing my s13 build and the total build cost from non rolling she’ll to complete and drifted. Only once sadly. Was the same amount. $3390. And due to unforeseen circumstances I had to sell it. Plus I decided I wanted an r-chassis. 
So I sold it for $3000, $500 less then what I was asking. But for what was done I thought it was a very reasonable price.

Later that week. I decided enough was enough I needed a new car asap, well a project at least. So I went out and found my self a 1993 r33 gtst complete shell. With a small spot of surface rust on the roof and a small rust hole in the boot well were the only real problems minus missing all running gear (motor box Ecu fuel pump) and on standard suspension I was expecting much worse but for $800 I was overall very happy with this purchase.

This shell has mint paint a very shitty front bar. So that was the first to go. 
Sold it the night I bought the shell home. And then it was off to look for another one. I picked up a r33 gtr front bar pair of wheels 18x8.5 +32 20mm spacers and a s2 Wing for a steal of $200. So that after noon I fitted the front bar. With minor modification i got it to fit great nice and flush. I’m planning on using the 18 inch wheels I got as skid wheels for when I get it drifting along with their standard 16s they came with.

So plans for the car are to street register it and drive it mainly for weekends and the odd trip to work and home and drifted when I wanted to while keeping it very reliable.

Any advice that can be given I'll take and the same with criticism good or bad.

@mikha1.

Got oem skirts and don't like the look of gtr wings haha.

Eyelids are coming off though. Not what I like to see on cars. But thanks for the comment on the base

Started stripping the engine bay for a quick respray in the coming weeks but due to slamming my wrist against the strut tower and it swelling to the size of a ballon. I've stopped. Any advise on how to remove brake booster??

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
