I left a mates house lastnight in my 32 gtr giving it a bit up the street then was just cruising and the car like backfired and didnt feel right, but the lastweek or so iv had trouble with one of my coilpack connectors the clips broken and it doesnt clip on it just sits there so its been running on like 5cylinders then 6 so its been running like shit most the time, after it done the backfire wouldnt be suprised if it was the shaft comming threw the zorst as i dont have a cat felt like i shot something out the bak, i looked in the mirror into the cars behind me's headlights didnt see any smoke or anything, also looked down at that time and sore that the oil pressure guauge in the dash was at 0 and the red light on so i pulled over and tuned the car off and we towed it home, are these signs of turn failure or is it to do with the coilpack plug or a blow oilpump or something?? thanks

bang + no oil pressure + warning light = not good

if the guage just dropped to zero it could be the sender but if the light is coming on as well then thats bad

Yeh im thinking the same thing, i just looked down and it was on 0 and the light on it doesnt go off, i dont really wanna start it now either, do you think i should get it dropped off at a workshop and see what they rekon?.

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
