I really dont know what it is but my car is fucked

Can someone please help me with my 1996 r33 gtst series 2. I bought it 4 month ago at 290hp with apexi power fc and fmic and apexi pod filter and straight pipe exhaust with some shitty exhaust but still it sounded good still.

ever since i played with my pfc hand controller and dnt know what i did bt it wouldnt start. I got it fixed by hyperdrive they put new spark plugg and and put the setting back.

but what im on about is i got yellowed sticker took it back to hyperdrive found out the head was f**ked got a new one and put poncam in and now it pretty much a piece of shit 

From the little bit of that that I can actually understand, is you got a cam installed when you replaced the head and now the car isn't running the same as before?

Did you get it tuned with the new cam set up?

Is the head a second hand head or has it been rebuilt if it's a cam install chances are he has missed a tooth and it is one tooth out a timing put to top dead centre check timing

They said they tuned it to get it running. But costed me $3500. 

I paid for a second hand head that they got and cleaned it and that and i came in bought the poncam so they can put it in while it was open and did other stuff 

Yerh i got hyperdrive booked for friday. So i gotta wait till then.

but quick question.

my mate drove my car and he said might just be the clutch ? What you guys rekn? Cause i have heard from one person only short solid shifter is bad for the clutch. And i asked what slipping is and he told me that when u go to change gear and you rev it the gear doesnt go in properly so your just pretty much reving and it not in gear properly ?

what you guys thinks? Cause it clould be that and my and timing cause engine vibrate crazy ways to  

You could just rev the car with the gearbox in neutral to test your friends diagnosis. I would be willing to bet as stated previously in the comments that you have a timing issue though.  If in doubt always go back to the last repair that was made before the car started running like crap.

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
