There may have been water in the fuel, this usually is only a problem if you are filling up while a truck is filling the tanks (the fresh petrol lifts and mixes all the water and sediment in the tank) or when the tanks become very low. I would recommend draining your tank into a few 20l drums and after leaving it to sit for a little while looking for "different levels" in the fuel indicating water.

But this also sounds like a problem i had with mine which turned out to just be a loose / dirty afm plug.

What does it do above 2000 rpm? or does it just not reach it? if it doesnt reach anything over 2500 i would sy check your afm connections and give the element itself a clean using co cleaner or maf cleaner.

I limped home and went and saw my neighbour whos a mechanic. I thought maybe an air leak at first or dirty fuel,

I suspected fuel at first but it didnt matter what gear you were in even neutral & revving it it wouldnt go past 2000rpm. I started to think my ecu with is a z32 with nistune was causing it.

Anyway i started the car up with the mechanicunder the bonnet and it wasnt doing it anymore.. WTF?

So i am at a loss what caused it and I have since driven 40k's or so no problems. I do have an existing problem with my idle revving highr somethimes upto 2000rpm so it may be a sympton of this maybe I dont know...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
