hey there'

so my car is going to try getting rid of shuffle (RB26, garrett -5's) going back to standard BOV, dirtgarage said that the HKS balance pipe did a good job, but cant be bought anymore, and expensive around 1k?

my mechanic suggested making one up??????

any suggestions?

try the stock bovs first i do not get any shuffle at all :P

yeah crap, i have read so much stuff about this, but my tuner insist on not going back to stock because of the leak?

i dont really want to 'tell' him to put them back on?

they are ment to be good for like over 600kw are they not?

i only have 300kw atm on 15 close to 16psi but yeah no shuffle so far....

ill let you know how it goes once i rewire this fuel pump and add some more boost :P

what mods do you have?

hey, custom made dumps, custom made inlet (prob half the problem there!) injectors, pump, G4 link, profect b, etc etc running 18lbs 310 RWKW, stock internals, cranking boost to 20lbs soon.........

Stock GTR bov's leak?

Yes

@ Idle they open and this helps avoid the comp surge.

same as the stock rubber piping etc etc.

Nissan made the RB26 setup perfectly in that respect. You have issues only when you go hard pipe kits, take off the stock BOV setup etc etc.

I have -5s, HKS hard pipe kit + Drag Cooler, standard exhaust and inlet manifolds, 20psi, NO BOV, NO SHUFFLE.

Many people have recently had this problem, its related to the turbo intakes, BOVs, and a few other things I cant remember.

Id be looking at your inlet. Its the only thing different.

any ideas ?

i have stock intake with pods stock dumps stock bovs stock cooler and air flow meters

my guess would be its your bovs... are they adj?

maybe try differnt setting harder or softer?

yes they are adjustable, my mechanic said he would try a softer spring.......

What R31 Nismoid and femno said :banana:

I have the same setup and no shuffle either.

As nice as it looks, I'd scrap it and go the standard bov's too.

dam i couldnt bring myself to scrap it, i didnt ask my mechanic to build it like that, but thats what he did, i dont want to through more money away too, might just get that BOV done, then live with the noise, just would like to here those ol' -5's spool up, rather then 'thomas the tank engine' on crack

cheers robbie

i get the same issues with my setup to the cchh chh chhh

i have std rebuilt turbos w steel wheel on ss manifolds, full hard pipe kit and no bov and pfc with afm just shy of 300kw but i recon its the manifolds not being tuned lengths or the hard piping not being the same length from turbos to intercooler. what i was going to do is run a 2 into 1 intercooler and make the pipe lengths the same from the turbos to the intercooler?

what do you guys recon? and im not giving up the the hard piping kit lol

nice intake mate!

leave it and try the stock bovs first

hey thanks for that,

yeah going to try a softer spring first on the HKS BOV, then will prob leave it at that, may go back to stock if i ever have anymore spare coin :)

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
