I really dont know what it is but my car is fucked

Can someone please help me with my 1996 r33 gtst series 2. I bought it 4 month ago at 290hp with apexi power fc and fmic and apexi pod filter and straight pipe exhaust with some shitty exhaust but still it sounded good still.

ever since i played with my pfc hand controller and dnt know what i did bt it wouldnt start. I got it fixed by hyperdrive they put new spark plugg and and put the setting back.

but what im on about is i got yellowed sticker took it back to hyperdrive found out the head was f**ked got a new one and put poncam in and now it pretty much a piece of shit 

From the little bit of that that I can actually understand, is you got a cam installed when you replaced the head and now the car isn't running the same as before?

Did you get it tuned with the new cam set up?

Is the head a second hand head or has it been rebuilt if it's a cam install chances are he has missed a tooth and it is one tooth out a timing put to top dead centre check timing

They said they tuned it to get it running. But costed me $3500. 

I paid for a second hand head that they got and cleaned it and that and i came in bought the poncam so they can put it in while it was open and did other stuff 

Yerh i got hyperdrive booked for friday. So i gotta wait till then.

but quick question.

my mate drove my car and he said might just be the clutch ? What you guys rekn? Cause i have heard from one person only short solid shifter is bad for the clutch. And i asked what slipping is and he told me that when u go to change gear and you rev it the gear doesnt go in properly so your just pretty much reving and it not in gear properly ?

what you guys thinks? Cause it clould be that and my and timing cause engine vibrate crazy ways to  

You could just rev the car with the gearbox in neutral to test your friends diagnosis. I would be willing to bet as stated previously in the comments that you have a timing issue though.  If in doubt always go back to the last repair that was made before the car started running like crap.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
