Well i know this myt sound stupid but here goes, one day i decided to give my engine a clean i sprayed the degreaser, waited couple minutes then rinse of with water. Well i think i sprayed a little to much water because i think i got it into the pod and the bit where the injectors and spark plugs were, through commen sense i guess when i started it up the engine sucked up all the water that was left over in the pod and got right into it. When i started the car you can hear the exhaust giving a choking noise and i can feel the engine shaking on idle and while crusing but when i rip it everthing feels normal but it laggs when i try to put my foot on the gas during gear 3 4 and 5. I took out the rocker cover and used a air compressor to try clen out wateva got in but still have the same problem so what am i to do?

shuld i go mechanincs ?

you should probably start with a dictionary...

..But..

How much water do you think the engine sucked in?

I hope for your sake wasn't much, you could try cleaning the AFM.. if it's covered in water its not going to read very well, Or pull all the coil packs out and leave the car sitting with the bonnet up, to let everything dry out.

if possible, get a compressor with an airgun, or even a can of compressed air and remove the coil pack cover and blow all the water out of there. this is more than likely causing the issues.

also, next time, cover the pod with a plastic bag anytime you are putting water, degreaser or any other liquid around the engine bay.

    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
