car hasn't run perfect since I got it. all of a sudden there is very very very little power it barely made it up a hill...so far I checked all coil packs and spark plugs and they're fine. ran a diagnostics and says nothings wrong. I'm thinkin it might be a bad fuel injector but I'm no mechanic it also takes a lot of effort getting into 1st gear. please throw out some ideas thanks

Check your PTU (its on the right front of the timing belt cover) and make sure it isn't corroded or beat up. Lots of times on Z32's that's problematic.

alright so I checked that out it doesn't seem like its beat up, however I think its time to get a new wiring harness. anyways...I fiddled around making sure all the wires were secure then I went for a drive and something kicked in and it went back to the way it was before, still not runnin like it should tho

Well then its definitely electrical. Glad you were able to find that it was the harness
