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?

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
