This is where u get off your duff get a multimeter compression tester and a fuel pressure gauge and get knee deep with your investment. I had a very similar if not exact issue like yours. My fuel pump was slowly fading. No real way to test that unless your under the hood while driving. Also my timing was off. Took me 2years to trouble shoot that. I had to learn how the mechanics of the motor and electrical system worked.

My suggestion. Get a 12 pack some buddies that like and know nissans and get to work. Post your findings and we'll help out as well!
No wrench time to read. Not that I think I'm ABOVE it, but rather that I'm just not really qualified. Stricnyne has indeed made me a generous offer though, so that is where I will be next Saturday! I'll do all of the work if I have to, but I need someone that knows what they are doing guiding my hands. I think that is pretty much what he suggested: "You bring the pizza, I'll supply the beer...there will be plenty of 240 headz around my place..." So, it looks like I will be diving in head first next weekend. You're all gonna be so proud of me-lol!

Peace

beer and a buddy program! welcome to the true niconauts and rb gear heads. Your lucky to have these individuals close to ya. They've been on here for at least 2 years figuring out thier own issues. Hope all goes well and if u need some electrical guidance email or call me!

Do you have a place near where you live that I can get parts as we need them? I'm likin the idea of a manual boost controller. Prob the best thing to do with the Blitz Electronic one is to rip it out!
