Car Problem...

Hey whats up. I have been having a problem with my car. I was thinking it was my spark plugs but I just changed them out today and I am still having the problem. It seems as my boost gets to .7 my car supters like there is something wrong with the mixture. I was boosting 1 before. I have a metal headgasket, aftermarket turbine, wastegate, and many others. I also have 550cc injectors and a GTR fuel pump. I have not done any adjusting of the tuning so I dont know what is wrong. The only I have done is used on base gas which made my car run like crap. But since then I have used off base Japan Super Octane and ran fuel system cleaner threw. Any ideas? It seems like this always happens at .7 boost. Thanks for the help...

Well I fixed that problem but I have another one from something that happened last weekend =(

Well this past last weekend I checked all my plugs and coil paks to see if I could fix the spudder problem. Well I sanded down all the igniter plugs in the coil packs so I would get a even contact because before hole was burnt out of them and it wasnt in the middle. I also stretched my springs out to try and compensate for the shorter igniter plugs. Well I drove my car and it was running really good, wastegate was opening and no spudder. Then my friend thought he could fix why my car idles so high and he messed with the trottle position sensor and the idle adjustment knob on the rear of the engine. Well he messed with the idle adjustment and said that it wasnt working right and that maybe the spring inside was gummed up so I tried taking it apart and putting some choke cleaner in it. Before he said he could turn the screw and the idle wouldnt change very much, that is why I cleaned it. One other thing that was done is one of my springs broke in my coil paks so I have a spare R33 coil pak so I just used that thinking it would be alright... Well when I started to drive home after that guy messed with some of my stuff I would drive and my RPM would just drop and I would have to push in the clutch and give it a good steady push on the gas pedal or else it would die.... Even if I was just driving normal it would cut out... So I drove my car to work a couple of days and it would do it everytime I would go to and from work and it would always be in about the same place going different directions to work. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe because 1 coil pak is a R33 coil pak or maybe something else? Please help me.... Thank you =) and sorry about the novel... =)

Also how do I set my idle adjustment right? and the throttle position sensor? Is there a diagnostic I can do on it?

    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
    • Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
