To De-cat Or Not, That Is The Question ???
general opinion is decatting = more power, more noise & more chance of blowing the rear turbo oil seal.

My RPS experience!
hmm, funny you should say that eric - andyp always said the centre plate was stock, when i bought mine from smithy about 18months or so ago, it certainly wasnt a standard nissan plate!

Stock boost gauge question :-))
the stock boost gauge is pants & shouldnt be taken seriously!! the needle wont hit the end of the scale unless the cars had a boost increase. have you done an ECU diagnostic to see if theres any fault codes? i would also try cleaning the throttle bodies & idle control valve with carb cleaner, clean the electrical connectors to the CAS, PTU, Temp sensor etc with electrical cleaner. disconnect the battery for 1/2hr min while doing this to reset the ECU. HTH :)

My RPS experience!
i know it doesnt help your situation, but i have the RPS street cluch with about 400bhp & find it extremely good. i agree with Jezz, it appears that the centre plate has been fouling on something - did you strip it?? is there any other damage to the flywheel or clutch cover?

injector leads
well if youve cot code 34, then youre in safety boost - 7psi. thats why its lacking in power. you need to sort that out 1st check here for testing & bypass (not recommended!) : http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/detonationSensor/detonationSensor.html

Engine is out! :D Some questions
1 - how much do you want to spend?? personally i would have the pistons out & check the bores, re-ring & hone the cyls at the very least. heads off & overhaul - valves & seats recut or just cleaned up & lapped in. reassemble with a full engine rebuild kit from courtesy. 2 - there not that expensive from Nissan, or try Mike Feeney @ MJP, or the engineering co thats grinding the crank may be able to supply them (mine does) 3 - i would only replace with new TBH. again nissan, MJP, or the machine shop. also, many take this opportunity to do things like water pump, cam belt & pulleys. PCV valves & hoses. EGR removal............. the list could go on & on!!!
