Driving like a grandma delibrately, 2500rpm. Generally about 2800-3000, pushing it i only go to 6500 usually. Stock turbo & stuff arent pulling hard after that anymore, so its pointless revving it harder really.

Ey just a quick questiOn,

how high of rpm do u change gears?

i change about 3-4 but people say skylines are meant to rev at 5-6..

opinions?

Mine is and auto and the cahnge happens at about 2800 to 3500 if im driving it har 6500 to 7500 id recomend the same in a manual as no one knows better than the computer in the dam car how to shift

In my last car (Charade with full exhaust/pod/camshaft etc) my mates wouldn't get out until I had bounced it off the limiter at least once. Thing used to pull like crazy for a 1.3L (the torque curve was dead flat from 5k->7.5k redline it revved its t*ts off!).

R33 still has standard exhaust but I just love the sound when you touch the limiter. Not one for every day though, and certainly not bouncing it off all over the shop got far too much mechanical sympathy for that.

when cruising I generally shift around 3-3.5k.

    • 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.
