yes this is my final post from o/s however i just wanted to let you guys know what i stumbled across today by total accident. the nismo international headquatres/ tuning house.

it was so ****ing cool, things were so cheap there anyone that buys any nismo product in australia is being ripped off. i managed to buy a few things :D there were so many gtrs around that place it wasnt funny. they sold everything there, i spent 28000 yen there. oh you know the nismo keys that are for sale around the place for i think 100 dollars or something they cost me about 18 dollars australian. stickers were so cheap also, also little nismo badges for the car where cheap, nismo oil caps, fuel filler caps, radiator caps all cheap. gear knobs cheap, cigarette lighters cheap. its a pitty i didnt have more money and space as they had a few nice dash clusters!!!!!!

oh and another rad thing about the place is they had a workshop there where you could watch out the window. i had a galnce and there was an r32 gtr, r33 gtr and before i was about to leave what did i hear i wasnt sure so i turned around and the nicest r34 gtr i have ever seen was driven in. I was like whoaa and the lady who i was trying to talk with was like whoa as wel, a customers car, nice car ,nice...... it was an awesome place.

for anyone that is going to tokyo get of at shimbaya(spelling) station and go and check this place out, have plenty of cash ready also. oh i took many photos of this place including all the cars, so i will post them up when i get back....

^peace

    • 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.
