Hi! I have a 90 GTR w/ R34 N1 engine, There was a kid came to my house, n somehow he got into the garage, and played w/ the car, and now, it doesn't work probably. The car is still fast, but it feels like sth is dragging. I changed the spark plugs, did an oil change, diff fluid change, tranny fluid changed. it still the same. Any1 have any ideas what I can do next?

He probably messsed up the gain. Try playing with the gain of the boost control to see if it gets better.

I tried to play w/ the gain, and it does the same. I even turn everything to minimum for now to avoid further damage.

It has nth except the boost controller, and the turbo timer in the cabin that he can fu*k with. My car has no stereo, which means those stereo harness is open for that kid to fu*k around with.

I am goin to buy like 30 mouse traps and put it in my car for coming winter. I will leave the windows roll all the way down and doors unlocked. People tends to learn from mistakes.

I change the fluid, because it has been sit in the car through the winter. I start the vehicle once every 2 weeks. It about 5months now, so yeah.......and always start w/ cheap component first, and hope it fixed the problem.

you could have a small boost leak, there are several things too I mean we can all rack our brains trying to figure it out but there are so many things that can cause a car to now be slower.

Could you have old bad gas?

What I really want to do is ask for you to post up a pic of a gtir with a rb26!
