o and a tip to all you people. search your boot side 1/4 pannels u will be suppriesd what u find,

(open boot pull carpet stuff off stick hand down side and watch for snakes)

mine has some wierd looking cotton gloves, stanless steal brackets with price tags, some japanese money and bits of newspapers.

*note* i will not be held responsable if u get bitten by snakes.

just a q, since im not 100% sure where to look for the ecu.... where should i b looking and what should i pull off to get to it etc????

only cos the last owner ofmy car sed that he wasnt sure if it had a a/m jap chip in it

Hehe, MotoX funny you mention the rear quaters .... I searched mine about 5 days about as the person who was workin gon the car put the shifter pouch back in there with the jack and the shifter fell out ....

Found Japanese chewing gum (still in the packet), another shifter, misc japanese paper, and a few other goodies .... no snakes .... will have to check the other side :P Also interesting to check inside or the fron quater panels, and inside the doors ....

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
