On thursday i picked up my skyline, I had the weekend to drive around and get used to it. the twin plate clutch is a bitch but im slowly gettin used to it, and the power too. :)

But when i first looked at the car i noticed there was no cat. however i couldnt remember what the exhaust looked like on the day,but the guy said hel put a cat on for me.So when i picked it up i had a look underneath, and i noticed it has the 3" turbo back but there is no sign of a flanged cat.Now from the turbo down until about underneath the back seat there is nothing then it looks like there are 2 resonators one about 6 inch then just after is another one about a foot long then it goes back to the muffler and out.

SO can it be that the 6 inch one is a high flow cat. because there isnt a flanged one in there? if anyone has pics of what a high flow cat lookes like please post em up.

il get some pics tomorow on the situation. i really dont want to get hammered by EPA for no cat.

cheers

Neil

If it's welded on and not flanged bolted in then theres a good chance they're both resonators. How big is it at a guesstimate in diameter? You said 3 inch piping, so if it's only around 4 inch and is circular, like the foot long one then probably resonators. most of the high flowed cats i've seen have been pretty angular and at least 4 inches and 6 inches across. Get a pic of it if u can but i'd say they both just resonators

thats a nice car, i had one as well. In my opinion the Series II is better then the original. Series one reminds me of a magna when seeing at at the front, where as this one has a sharp look to it. I had heaps of mods on it as well, apexi power fc,intercooler,injectors, sway bars,exast etc etc etc i had it all apart from the turbo,

still i made 203.13kw at the wheels on 15 so it wasnt too bad... trust me man keep the car they are really nice, and congrats once again

      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.
