Hey so i have googled and searched through the forums quite a bit and would still like a second opinion. For a while my 34 was having coil pack issues, one cylinder not firing occasionally and sounding like a truck/loss of power. The other day i was driving as per normal and all of a sudden under throttle i was losing all power and felt like MASSIVE drag so i pulled over. At this point it was idling fine and would rev through the rev range perfectly but once in first gear id take off normally and after about 2 meters it would have a huge power loss and drag. I managed to get the car home 2 meters at a time as i didn't want to leave it on the street (really bad area) and then had to reverse up my drive way as it was the only way i could get it up there ( too much power loss in first but not in reverse). I let it sit for a bit and now when i start it it starts perfectly and then dies straight out. If i giver it some throttle it is fine but is spitting out black soot and will stall once it hits idle.

After hours of research i came up with the either AFM was not working, vacuum leak or faulty idle switch. So i pulled it apart the AFM and re soldered it and still no good. My question remains is the AFM faulty or is the idle switch faulty? any ideas? :D

Kinda losing my mind haha

So were 5 wet?

Was it running than you removed them so they could have gotten wet. Plugs that work will not be wet because they burn the fuel. If it was running rough than you pulled plugs than they could have a chance to get fuel on them on the cylinders that are not firing.

I had one stuffed coil pack and it made my car miss fire intermittently. One spark plug looked a little different in the fouling. Because it was only sometimes it had not changed the plugs appearance a lot. I changed all coil packs as my car has done 185000km and I just bought it so I don't know when they were last changed. Either they have done a great amount of KMs or they have been changed once before as they normally last about 100000km.

sorry for the late reply i have been away. All the other plugs looked perfectly fine as i replaced them maybe 4 months ago or so but one was black and dry none were wet. Just before i went away i found a rather big split in one of the main intake hoses and i have just replaced that but the battery is dead so i have to wait for it to charge to see if it changed anything. :)

So i started her up and she started fine and went to die. Gave a little bit of throttle and she settled on idle so i let her warm up for a bit. Revs through the rev range beautifully but now at idle she sounds like shes missing occasionally so i disconnected each coil pack one by one and it sounded worse every time so the coil packs arent the problem. This problem is unrelated btw it was doing this for a week or so before she died.

Went for a drive and she is pulling harder than she ever has been and my boost gauge was only hitting 7 psi instead of 10? Then i popped a hose that i must not have tightened properly but i lovely lady with a 200 sx came running out of her house with tools so could get it home haha

I know im just a little slow haha :)

I believe all my problems have gone away now after i fixed the boost leak and cleaned the IAC Valve. No weird idle and car has alot more power but kinda feels like it pulls back slightly once it hits boost. Thanks for the advice tho Hadouken was very helpful :)

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
