While comments aren't generally for extended discussion, I was merely pointing out that there are more complexities surrounding the highly regulated milk market here in Australia than simple free market economics. If you wish to produce milk for major supply chains, you cannot do it independently.

It should be noted that these dairy farms are contractually obliged to supply milk to the processors at set prices, they do not have the ability to adjust their own prices which they sell to supermarkets.

Bottersnikes and Gumbles
Bottersnikes and Gumbles are fictitious creatures in a series of children's books by Australian writer S. A. Wakefield and illustrator Desmond Digby. Four books were published between 1967 and 1989. The series is considered a classic of Australian children's literature and has sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide. A television adaptation will be aired on Netflix and terrestrial television in 2016. Set in the landscape of the Australian bush the stories recount a series of conflicts between the lazy, destructive Bottersnikes and good-natured, hardworking Gumbles.

They are perhaps the laziest creatures in the world. They eat mattress stuffing (preferably barbecued) and pictures of food out of magazines, and for sweets they like rusty nails and bottle tops.

@SpaceLizard a Bottersnike is a terrible creature that spends its time trying to find Gumbles in jam tins

Drop Bears are just as real as Bottersnikes. You have to be careful.

@MooseLucifer join SAU (SkylinesAustralia) and ask your question there as well. Another thing to test (because of how often they fail and cause dramas) is the coilpacks. These regularly die on rb's.

In that case, I'd be leaning towards fuelling. Can you get your hands on a wideband o2 sensor? That would give you a good indication about what's going on

Also I'm quite keen on seeing this one resolved, I've owned 11 (*running, more if you count part wrecks) skylines in my time, rb's are a shit of an engine but they are also a lot of fun :)

@MooseLucifer have you tested for boost leaks. This sounds like classic pressure leaking under boost conditions. youtube.com/watch?v=atretf9u-Mc

Numberphiles did a great video on the problems with aliens potentially understanding any of our languages, and vice versa: youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=l4bmZ1gRqCc This would be worth considering.
