The other day I was cruising around all of a sudden, my car started to shake while idleing at traffice lights, and as I was taking off had little to no power at all. The orange error light or whatever it is came on, and so I shit myself and proceeded home. I turned my car off and was gonna check it later, so I turned it back on after and it seemed normal again... this has happened 2 or 3 times since, while driving to and from uni... car shakes while idleing and loses power when it comes to taking off...

anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

I had the exact same problem for months. So I came to this forum and asked for advice, I was told it was the coil packs and after I changed them I've never had that problem again.

When the problem occurs, see if you can park somewhere and turn off the car for 10-15seconds. Start it again and it see if it runs properly.

Yeah I do that, and sometimes it works.... hm what coil packs did u change urs to?

oooww this happends to me in my R33 also... well when i am coming to a stop i will have clutch fully pressed in and whne the revs drop to the idle amount it sometimes drops lwer then comes back up to idle, however occasionly when it drops it goes to low and just stalls so you have to start her up again... it all sounds fine and runs good before and after it just a random thing that happens.... And im yt to figure out why lol

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
