my headlights when on low beam, use the only outside globes(and the far outside ones), and high beams use only the inside...my question is, is this different to others? are the different models...different? as in, do the high beams use the outside ones aswell?

next question...can you understand this?

:D:P

There's a kit from www.PerfectRun.com.au that allows you to turn on both hi and low beam when the light stalk is on hi beam position, this is to get more ilumination. Brand is East Bear. Kit is pretty pricey I reckon, about $180 plus not including delivery.

If someone know abt electronic, I reckon it will probably just some wiring harness, isn't it?

i realize this...but try tell that to a dickhead behind a counter with his head up his ass...the thing is, when i asked him if it what he was saying was true, he asked another guy there...same answer

You can get brighter globes, I run 130w on my GTR high beams and it makes a massive difference as I think the standard lights are crap with the 85w globes. I do a lot of driving at night and do not like to not be able to see everything. I have been used to really bright lights on other cars and the gtr's just dont cut it for the performance of the car.

In terms of keeping the low beams on when the high beams come on you simply need to run a diod (Sp) in the wiring between the high and low bean trigger wire so that power can run too the low beams when the highs come on. You may also need to run a relay to help boost the high beam switch depending on what condition it is in. This will cost about $2.50 for the diodes and getting somone who has a clue to put them in for you. If I can next week I will give you the wiring colors.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
