crap thing about r34 with the nismo wing (atila or watever its called) is when you take it off, it leaves a million holes.. looks like you were hit with a drive by shooting haha

you can use metho spirits or general purpose thinners to help take it off as well

Go the heat gun and eucalyptus oil

It's gentler than thinners and wont cloud your paint

a cut/polish afterwards is essential

about the holes, your only lasting option is to spot weld them then bog/paint

careful though, welders like to buckle panels

cameral wheel, its a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill and removes all glues, stickers, and the like without damage to paint. they can be bought at panel beaters supplier's. just remember not hold the wheel in one spot as it will burn your paint

Dragonforce - i got quoted by DT Panels here in vic about $350 for each side (coz the car is red they would've needed to blend the colour over to the doors aswell) + $250 for the bootlid

i'm sure if you look around you can get it a bit cheaper. maybe around the $500 mark.

but if you ask me its not worth it, which is why i'm gonna wait it out till i can go in for a full respray. dont see the point in fixing the holes now and spraying only half the car...

Granthem - did you have the wing too?

this is the only pic i got of the lights at night. while in park, still dunno which ones light up when braking etc lol

    • 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.
