Hi guys,

can anyone tell me the different between R32 N1 headlight and R32 GTS (non turbo) headlight?

cheers

Apparently there are the clips to hold the GTR grille on with that the GTST lights dont have. Also it has been said that the glass is thinner to make them lighter and the reflection pattern on the inside of the glass is slightly different. I have never seen a pair in person so i cant confirm this, if you want the N1 spec look then simple little brackets can be made to make a gtr grille bolt up without using the clips on the gtr headlights.

Also the non projector headlights were fitted to turbo versions of the sedan (like mine), the inner light is a fog light operated by a button on the dash to the right of the steering wheel, if you have projector headlights than this button would operate your factory fog lights fitted into the mspec front bar.

Be very weary of anyone trying to flog you 'genuine' N1 GTR headlights on ebay if they dont have detailed photos of the clips and can tell you the weight. Go tot eh wreckers and but a set of non projector headlights and make up a bracket for the GTR grille.

There are more threads on this topic if you do a search.

      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.
