and ryan i love ur set up :thanks: did u fix the temp sensor thing i told u about months back>

Not yet, I have been directed to see a well renowned retired auto electrician here on the gold coast to do some other work for me too, just need to get him away from his BiNgO ><

I'm in no hurry, she sits in the garage and doesn't get out much, driven her 3 or 4 times since i last spoke to guys. I'm busy doing the reno's to my house.

if youre going to get an aftermarket radiator, probably worth investing in an aftermarket temp gauge too so you cna actually see the temperature of your cooling system, rather then the arbitrary gauge that nissan provided us with that is good for nothing...

PFC works well too if u got one.

Read the first part of this topic....but then got a little bored of the he said, she said, some alien said.

Repairing a STD radiator is expensive and usually a temporary fix.

Replace the STD one with an aftermarket alternative, reuse the clutch fan and shroud.

I have a spare 35mm ARC one for a GTR, for anyone who has drama's with their STD one and wanting an alloy one.

Direct replacement...std shroud and fan fit.

ARC....make the best cores, bar none. $600 no offers.

I have noticed the temp gauge starts to move from the middle position at around 103.

I am going to go with a 40mm tripe core alloy radiator and keep original fan and shroud. hope to have it by next weekend as I am sick of doing 80km/h on the highway to keep it under 95 degrees.

hopefully it is the lost pressure from the crack in the top tank causing the extra heat, and not the engine running lean. a tune isnt too far away, so i guess i'll find out soon.

    • 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.
