so i was driving to work and all of a sudden it felt like my car just started jerking when giving it gas. its a 95gtst. i took it to my friends shop here in florida and we looked at it and he said from the sound its probably a boost leak. we looked at all the main lines we could see without taking anything apart. we didnt find anything, we tried spraying down the lines to see a leak but nothing. so i came home to try and see online where and on my way it stopped. so i went back out and it did it again as soon as i started the car. i have no clue what else it could be and where maybe a lot of peolpe get boost leaks. if anyone has any suggestions let me know. thanks

i really know how to explain it, its like its not getting the gas it needs or something. all through when im giving it gas and as its sitting still at idle. it feels like i have a bigger cam when im at idle, it shakes the car just sitting there. i was told by a friend that it might be my timing belt(which needs to be changed). and on another forum someone said it might be my coil packs

      Boost level and torque curve

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
