Clicking Noise From Rear

It might be what I have. My mech said I've got a busted bolt in the clutch near the throw-out bearing. When you have the hold the car at the catch-point in reverse and then 'jockey' it on and off power a little bit (so yes, the car will jerk), the transfer of weight makes a sharp 'clack clack' noise that sounds driveline related. On the little arm that has the throw-out bearing on the end, there are two small wires/arms holding a ball-ended bolt. Apparently this bolt can snap, but the clutch still works fine, it just makes a god awful noise. For me. it is most easily heard in the situation above, but I can also hear it in the changes between 1st/2nd and 2nd/3rd, particularly if I'm a bit rough and let the clutch out a bit too fast.

Issue solved for me, looked like a worn driveshaft on one side.

Replaced with a reconditioned unit. No problems now.

Really worn driveshaft??? Might have to get mine checked out as well. This noise also drives me crazy. I Have a Kazz 1.5 way.

My issue came about after I installed the new diff. While it was getting installed the diff guy I went to called me up and advised me that the kazz diff only came with one O ring clip for one side, its were the diff shafts slid into. Was advised by person I bought it off you have to use the other standard one for the other side. But the standard one doesn’t fit . So I just left it as we couldn’t really source one out. So I think there is a little play on one side as it hasn’t been clipped in tight enough.

Just my 2c

      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?

      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.
