Aaah, that's right, it wasn't a forge actuator... we had fun with that thing, if you look closely, you'll see some washers between the actuator and the bracket to help get the actuator in the right place.
Nice to see it getting some love :)

i'm glad you said that is the one you fitter i was so close to putting my standard one on just to rule it out, i think its getting a little better now had a look at the spark plugs and they are OLD they have oil stains on the insulator and the gaps were off my local motor factor hasn't got any plugs so i re gapped them and cleaned them up hoping i can get some tomorrow :)
it is still on the blue injectors, unfortunately i live no where near a shell garage, the closest i have is esso, but coming to think of it last time i got some super from there is was cloudy as, i put some in a clear bottle and couldn't see through it :/ i guess being such a small town it dosen't get used alot so gets contaminated over time
They should be platinum plugs, and being the case shouldnt be cleaned and re-gaped as this will result in the centre electrode being damaged.
little update on the car for anyone that cares, it is now running great after i had to send my mother out 20 miles to the nearest shell station for some v-power and some fresh plugs :D i had never seen platinum plugs before only having n/a cars previous so i didn't quite grasp how well used the old plugs were until i had something to compare them to the tips were around a mill shorter and burnt to a point! managed to make it out to skeggness last night for a cruise and returned 27mpg which is better than i expected. although my friend following me said it puffs a little smoke out when laboring up hills, hopefully its the turbo and not the piston rings, i have a spare 16t
Good news mate :)
well it seems the guy i got the car off is deffinatly the guy that spews this bull out of his mouth for a living, allow to to preset my skyline which is now back up for "swapz" my mate sent me this last night as i'm too uncool to be part of the facebook group it is advertised on.

the only true thing in that post is the clutch as i fitted that the other week, gtr grill? no thats a standard one that has been cut down because the car had a front end smash, i straightened the inner wing. nismo wheels? "nismo stickers on cheap alloys" would be a better fit. why would you even bother fitting a bigger throttle body and higher fuel pressure on a standard 12 valve 2 litre that originally only made 130bhp and it runs like it makes half of that. just a heads up guys this guy is a king tuner in his head, i feel sorry for the next guy that has to deal with him.
What a tit!
Thing is, you still got a good car out of it, even if it doesn't have the spec he said it did. It's a good thing you signed up here as you now have a good idea of what's really going on with the car and plenty of info to hand if there's a problem :)
yeah i've been a member here for 2 years :) i've just been hiding and i feel i got the better deal regardless it's the next person i feel sorry for the person who may not know any different, and be stuck with a lot of problems i can take the risk because i'm a qualified mechanic and auto electrician. but the next person could be someone believes it all and ends up out of pocket big time
glad to hear you sorted the running issue mate,regards the skyline ad...........................................im keeping quite lmao
don't worry i'm still waiting for the wheels he was posting me :/
Must have seen you coming
