I though it was about time i put something up here about my car.

It started out as a standard GTS4 with only a cat back zorst imported a few month before i brought it in early 2005. first mods were front mount and a set of chrome 18's

I drove around with the car like this for a year or so with no other major mods just a dump pipe, front pipe and a bleed valve pushing out about 160rwkw.

In early 2007 i noticed that my car started to idle lumpy, did a comp test on the motor and found that i had nothing in piston 6. So i decided to go all out and chuck in a Rb26. this is the piston from the rb20

I managed to find a R33 rb26 with 80,000k's with gearbox from Japanese motorsport, i also got some coilovers, strut braces, stainless front pipes and 32 gtr brakes. I also got a Power-FC D-Jectro all installed by Tilbrook Auto & Dyno, the car was tuned by Martin Donnon and made 230rwkw.

Not long after that i got my new plates and earlyer this year i brought a set of 18x8 1/2" Drift teks.

I have now upgraded to R34 GTR rims painted the same gold as the Drift teks and i also brought a GTR interior.

I have now also fitted a GTR bonnet and grill. My next major mods are a set of Garett GT2860-5's, HKS dumps, Nismo pump and Sard 700cc injectors which i hope to have installed in the next week or 2, when there on and tuned i'll post of the dyno sheet, it should be around the 300rwkw mark :cheers:

Amazing work!! love the engine colour, did you choose that or did it come with it?

I painted it myself before it went in, its just spay can stuff with a clear coat, colour is Cyan Metalic you can get if from Super Cheap.

Damn this thing is awesome, a Sleeper and a half!

You couldn't even tell, unless you can recognise the exhaust note and you probley freak the crap out off ppl trying to drag you off at the light.

BTW you said you have an APexi Power-FC D-Jectro installed, but I see you still got the air flow metres in one of the pics... I thought you did not need air flow metres with the D-Jectro..?

is your gtr bonnet Black as well? looks gunmetal to me

Yeah it is Gunmetal, will get it painted when i get some other bits and pieces done, just dont have the funds atm.

Make sure to post up your dyno result in the forced induction sticky, i'd like to compare against mine as we are using almost exactly the same parts.. 'cept for the d'jetro.

will do mate.

The air flow meters are there to keep the street legal look, but they have had all there insides removed to increase flow.

Here's the dyno graph :)

This is my latest mod to the car, cold air box. Helps keep the hot air out and it also hides my boost controller solenoid :P

I also went out and brought this little kit the other day, just need to find the time to put it on.

so.. where does the air go? I can't see any venting to allow flow through so does that mean that it will just be a dead pocket of air around the cooler or am I missing something? Other than that it looks very nice, trying to figure out where and how to mount one in my car.

I have got hold of a R33 front left inner guard that i will cut the vent out of and rivet it behind my cooler :domokun: i just ran out of time.

    • 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.
