    Dont worry about aftermarket FPRs, the stock ones are fine for pretty big power. Off the top of my head it could be wear on the CAS or exhaust cam splines or overfuelling, particularly if you have a dump valve or just a good old fashioned boost leak.

    FPR won't help and you don't need an aftermarket one.

    Ignition Timing, boost leaks, knackered fuel pumps, bad/incorrectly gapped plugs and boost leaks are more likely.
    Read the ECU fault codes as well to check you've not missed anything there.

    Diagnostics are read straight off the ecu, it has two LEDS on it, one red, one green.

    Robbed from SXOC:

    ECU in passenger kickwell on the left.
    *start engine and allow to idle
    *If engine does not start, Crank engine for four seconds
    *Turn diagnostic mode selector on ECU fully clockwise
    *After LEDs have flashed three times: turn diagnostic mode selector fullly
    anti clockwise
    *check that LEDs flash
    *Red LED indicate LH digit
    *Green LED indicates the RH digit
    *For example. One red flash followed by three green flashes indicate trouble code 13 (Engine coolant temp sensor)
    *Count the LED flashes. Note the trouble codes
    *Switch ignition off


    11 Crank Position sensor
    12 Air Mass Sensor (MAF)
    13 Coolant Temp Sensor
    21 Ignition Signal
    32 Starter Signal
    34 Knock Sensor
    43 Throttle Posision Sensor (TPS)
    55 No fault found

    That isnt a standard Nissan part, its a suppressor to stop buzzing through speakers so it shouldnt stop the alternator working. Pretty sure the wire connects to the earth post though.

    Yeah I thought so... So the alternator is wire up correctly, I think the brushes have gone cos when I spin the pulley by hand it jus spins and spins freely like theres no friction,
