Need help with what to do

Howdy

I bought my first skyline about 2 months ago. And haven't really been able to enjoy it yet. Basically heres what it came with 

Ive been wanting to purchase a skyline for years but kinda feel like i bit off way more then i can chew with this backyard modified skyline. I have no previous mechanical knowledge but was hoping to pick up a new hobby with this.

Since purchasing, i had a nightmare trying to get it roadied and transfered from NSW to VIC. 2.8k later, exhaust is plugged up so its quiet (pretty restricted) wastegate plumbed back into exhaust.

And its completly thrown out the tune. Its currently in RnR , cant boost as a result. Runs crazy rich, absolutely stinks etc. Its a stock ECU that does have a G1 link chip and a tuning plug. But it doesnt have the hand controller that also has a serial port on it. Basically my next step is to get a new ECU ( or a cheaper alternative such as a pfc or nistune) in an attempt to keep costs down but i feel like I wont be able to do that with the gear its running. I am in country vic and (warrnambool area) and was hoping to get away with not having to work out who/how i can get a trailer to melb. From what i know its been mafless tuned due to having no AFM.

Im wondering what my best options would be, if there are any tuning /JDM specialised workshops that are near ballarat or geelong (south west vic) without going all the way to melbourne that i could take my car to for a new ecu, tune, and a good service. It is driveable but barely, its pretty unreliable, its been surging, spluttering etc so i didn't want to drive it too far (100-150kms).

Sorry for the poor grammar i smashed this out. ill edit and fix things as i go on.

Intropost with a bit more detail

Or should i cut my loses, try and sell it quick while it still has current RWC and VIC rego /shrug  and buy something thats less of a nightmare hehe

Wat?  You buy Nistune brand new either direct from Nistune or from a local dealer.  All you need to do is find an R32 or Z32 ECU.
