R34 gtt idle problems and bad running

So basically as title suggests i have an r34 gtt. Basically stock except using power fc with rb25neo, steel bearing turbo tuned to 13psi, and walbro fuel pump (255 i think? Cant remember exactly)

Her idle is running terrible. Constantly hunting idle making it sound like its got fat cams lol, and even worse when cold and cold nights. Tends to surge on cruise speeds (60, 80, 100) as well and a light throttle tap temporarily stops it. Under boost she pops alot on revs over 4k and just found that shes making sucking noises under the hood somewhere, IAC have been removed and no gunk is inside but cleaned and replaced anyway. 

Just today she started getting worse, started making a weird  (soory for the silly description but its all i can associate it to) robotic kinda wirring noise everytime it tried to raise the idle rev during hunting and then stalling not long after. Will attach video link.

Ive taken it to multiple mechanics and all just seem to be trying to drain my money coz ill get the car back "fixed" but its not and all they say when i bring it back is "no idea why its doing that". Its driving me absolutely insane... just want her to run right as shes currently my daily 

 

Any help will be amazingly appreciated, shes due to go into a new mechanic that specializes in rebuilds but even they say they may not find the problem.

Forgot to add a detail about upgrades to car

So just an update to my post. Turns out got a blown head gasket between cyl 6 and the coolant channels. Valves for it are shot as well and the tune done to it was hiding most of the obvious symptoms. Going to cost me roughly 3grand to replace. I live in Townsville FNQ so is there anyone here that may know of a decent tuner at all for power fc?

    • 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
