Idle Problem On R33 Gtst

Hi Guys,

Got a problem which has reared it's head in the last week. Car idles extremely rough, sorta like a high RPM missfire. hard to explain, but sorta sounds like a WRX (constant pop) and the whole car shakes badly. Car got tuned around 6 months ago.

has Power FC, Z32, 850cc sard's, Splitfire coilpacks, HKS twin spark, upgraded turbo and external gate and Walbro Fuel pump with re-wired relay.

Swapped out the coilpacks with a brand new set as a precaution, regapped plugs to .7 to rid it of any chance of missfire. Changed fuel pump relay, changed Coil pack loom and swapped Ignitor pack.

Checked the Z32 wiring tonight and noticed that going by PaulR33's wiring picture that when the AFM was installed, the signal ground and 12v ground were mixed up. swapped them and the same problem remains. What are the odds of this mix up causing an AFM failure or PFC failure?

Only thing i haven't done is swap the fuel pump over, sounds a little funny when it's priming, but was looked at by a mechanic and he said it was working. another possibility??

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!

      They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
