Misfiring help

I need help. I have a 1991 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR, I recently had it in the shop getting intercooler piping, new ECU HKS Fcon V pro and a tune. Got 579 to the wheels and was running great for about a week. Then one morning woke up and it sounded like a Subaru and it blows smoke out the exhaust. Did some trouble shooting and found that when I unplugged number 2 and 4 coil pack the engine idle didn't change. red out the coil packs and checked the plugs, all good. even swapped coils around with no change. The plugs are wet with gas so I did a old school spark test in the block and getting spark.  ordered new coil pack wire harness and still no change. swapped out the PTU(coil ignitor unit) with a known good one and still no change. Did the self diagnosis and got code 21, Could it be the tune is causing this, I mean it just started one morning when I started the car and it ran fine the night before. Thanks.

Mods on the car

1.2mm aluminum head gasket

tomei pons cams

tomei m8270 turbos

HKS intercooler piping

HKS boost controller

HKS Fcon pro v(no MAF's)

nismo 600cc injectors

Did you check to make sure your CAS is firing all 6 cylinders? May have a dead spot on it. Correct me if I'm wrong but firing order is 1-5 3-6 2-4, so the fact that 2 and 4 are wet would make me lean towards a bad cam angle sensor

Ok so new problem. I was going to take the car in to my mechanic and it wouldn't start. First time turned over and backfired,  after that just cranking, a little bit of sputtering like its going to start but nothing. funny thing is it started the day before no issues, besides rough idle due to my misfire. I didnt drive it, just started it and to go to the store then decide against it. Any ideas? I dont want to pay for a 22km tow bill.

Before you pull it just take a sharpie and put reference marks so when you put it back you no exactly where it was.

So I took my car to my mechanic and found out I have no compression in my number 2 cylender,  and my pistons are burnt on the exhaust side. Worst case senerio.  He believes that maybe the turbos, I have Tomei m7960. He said that he has other cars blow the bottom end using the same turbos.  Anyone else have any issues with them?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
