Andrew & Carl, your desks are too clean, lol................don't you guys do any work.

I'm too embarrassed to show mine, there's paper work & tapes everywhere at the moment

lol i did not show the pile of papers and food stuffs that i swept onto the floor.... its all a facade ;)

Yeah Adrian, it's about 3.5L, make sure you get the Redline Lightweight Shockproof, it's expensive but beleive me it makes a HUGE difference. That's what I ran in that box before and it was silky smooth

haha I took that photo after spending around 5 hours last night cleaning up my office. I had even spray and wiped the desk for the 2nd time in 6 years :( Already sine that photo I have piles of papers (jobs) piling up all over the place and the usual bevy of empty coffee cups and drink glasses ....

i heard redline shockproof for jap cars is rubbish

I cant comment about redline oil, although alot of people rave about it, but with gear oils you need a happy medium between thin oil to help the synchro's and a thicker oil to help protect the gears, so I would suggest run as thicker oil as your synchro's can handle! once your gears have been overheated your looking at big cash to overhaul the box!

There are many who claim the same.

General comments are : it quietened down my box or improved gear selection but ultimatly the box shat its self and the mechanic said dont use redline.

I have not used it so I dont speak from personal experience.

lol

had to do a double take on oil amount for the patrol when i did an oil change. the 4.2 diesel takes 12.5 litres and 2 oil filters, the 2.8 turbo diesel only takes 8 litres and one filter LOL

anyone gets bored, im goin to be pulling the 31 to bits...............gimmie a hoy and come on round

well, i got a msg from damo friday arvo, pretty much telling me he seen

    • 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.
