Hear are my mods...(r32 RB20)

FMIC, Full 3" Exhaust. 3" dump/front pipe. HKS POD, GFB BOV, HKS cam gears, and timing advanced a tad.

Hears my prob...

Ive raised boost up to 10psi, tried pushing it a tad further for sum fun ( knowing i could cause damage) and once boost reaches its full potential the car seems to stutter (Misfire) but if i gradually build up the boost it doesnt seem to have this problem?

Any ideas?

take out your spark plugs, use a feeler gauge set [buy a set for around $15, can get bigger better sets for more], and squeeze your plug gap down to 0.80mm, it will be set to 1.0-1.1mm std.

Ask someone to show you how it's done, once your shown its easy, annoy your lawnmower shop or something [anything with a sparkplug], with a plug spanner, feeler gauges, and a spanner set for other bits and pieces, you'd get it done inside an hour or so.

No. Looking at the spark plug there's a bit that comes up from the centre of the plug to the end (the end that screws in). About a millimeter away from the end of that is a tab bent over that comes from the side. Making that gap shorter is this name of the game today. Don't let them touch, coils don't like it if they do.

My bet is that you have a standard ECU which will retard timing and run rich when you try and push boost past 10psi.

You need an aftermarket computer or a Apexi SAFC or similar at the very least.

Was thinking the same thing

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
