Anyone cruising this weekend? Only had my car a week and a half and want to test it out....... 1993 S1 GTSt V spec...... Only got a Poddy and HKS super dragger exhaust, and front and rear strut braces...... Soon to put boost controller in (when warrranty wears off), PFC, FMIC, and maybe bigger turbo depending on how the stock one copes at higher boost levels...... Got to suss some bigger (wider) rims aswell.

Does anyone know whether the PFC will work with active LSD...... I couldnt get a confirmed answer out of anyone on the other forums. (From what i have gathered some people have had problems and others havnt????????????).

I live in the hills so have a fun drive on greenhill road every day? -- looking for other liners to boot with!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

thats why i dont take the line out. cause i know that if i leave it for a while then the car wont fire up. also, i noticed that when i go to start the car then the battery needs to be completly charged before it would even struggle to start. The alternator drains the crap out of the battery though. btw pete's going to have a word with his electrican friend who will hopefully give a quote on how much a rebuild will cost.

apparently the problem with mine is the regulator, and there is no replacement part. im picking up a 2nd hand one next week. car went on the dyno too but the fuel pump wasnt happy above 4500RPM we think thats due to the alternator problem

when you realised your alternator was playing up, how did you manage to start the car sam? did you clutch start it or jumper start it......??

had to jumper start it, i havent really driven it much since that

    • 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.
