I am a soldier in the US Army and i have been stationed in landstuhl, germany. I bought a 1994 Skyline GTS-T Impul edition sedan from an older local german. The problem the car is having is when the revs reach 4700rpm under acceration (autobahn ) the car feels like it hits a wall, like rev limiter, but if i ease off and accerate slowly with no boost it will break through the 4700 rpm mark just fine.

It seems to me the only time it hits that wall is under moderate acceleration when boost is up. The things on my list to do are ngk plugs, fuel filter, and spaying the mass air flow meter with some brake cleaner. I've ran a tank of fuel with stp fuel injecter cleaner through it since i knew it had been sitting for 6 months but what else should i do? How can i accerlate moderately without hitting that wall at 4700 rpm?

What boost is it running?

If u keep your foot down does it seem like it gets back power at about 6000rpm?

full stock,about 5 psi the only aftermarket is a downpipe back jasma exhaust and a tune job RAZO(who knows)

After 4700 rpm anything more than a granny foot the car starts stuttering

OK if its only 5psi it shouldn't be "rich and retard"

Stock ecu i presume?

U can check all those u listed above and try and get some good fuel in it and reset the ecu

the ecu, i have no idea, it was originally tweaked by impul, then tweaked again by a german tuning company called RAZO, right now its running 105 US octane rating

all gears,but not in neutral, it would make sense it being the fuel filter or fuel pump, its been sitting for a while, my manuel is in japanese so maybe you can help me out on this one, Where is the fuel filter? the only one i ever replaced was in the tank and i could gain access to it thru the trunk, I'm guessing its an inline filter under the hood to the left of the intake manifold but i cant tell, it could also be a regulator of some sort.

Follow the fuel lines back from the fuel rail. The filter should be in the engine bay.

Dunno what side drive you have but it should still be on the intake side regardless.

It's small like a can of beans

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
