Hey all,

Just a quick update... All the interior parts are back in the car with a new ignition barrell etc, many thanks to Edwin_Skyline for letting me rip apart his interior!! :blush:

Quick question though... Accessories are working and pretty much all the norm however the car still wont start, it looks like a fuse has been blown as I ripped out the computer and all looks fine there. Does anyone know if there is a common fuse that blows if someone tries to hotwire your car? Thanks

Hi all...

Well the car is all fixed, it's back on the road with avengance!! The issue was a blown ignition fuse right up in the boot where the battery is!! So here's a funny little equation much like the mastercard ads lol:

Purchase interior parts off wrecking R33 and ignition barrel- $150

Print out 491 page Nissan workshop manual from workplace- $0

Purchase new ignition fuse- $10

Have your boyfriend who is an electrician re-wire & solder- $0

Not paying $2100 in excess for making a claim on your insurance.... PRICELESS!! :(:D

Through the passenger's side window, they used a flat head screw driver to pop the window out of the seal and pulled it out a little, slid their hand in and unlock the door.

All I had to do was re-sit the window in the frame and it closes snugly again.

I remember reading a thread about r33's and some door lock you should disable.

should definatly check it out hey.

haha i should not be telling you this, but i have hot wired my door handles to give people a zap when my car is armed. you should think of the same. BUT, the downside is, if they are quite stupid and hold onto the handes, it WILL drain the battery but it still does take awhile. its like being stung by a megger at 500V, your boyfriend should know what i mean.

Hey, that fully sux, sorry to hear!!

BUT

coming from someone who is PARANIOD about people doing this to my car, plus the fact that I cant afford s&*t if I had to fix anything, I had Quick Track installed the second my car landed, it gives me piece of mind for a $1 a day, I park it anywhere and feel safe, best money ever spent if you ask me!!

At the moment Quick Track are in the process of being bought out by another company, which have yet to contact me, but I will definatly continue with their services, if you want any more info or just some examples of how it has worked for me in the past PM me anythime!!

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
