at 115 this morning i left work to come home and being a nice cold morning i decided to drive rather fast (or as fast as my stagea can i guess, its not that fast). anyway upon flat to the floor acceleration i notice my steering wheel turning right hand down. or rather falling right hand down. and now my steering wheel sits cocked to one side, at 60kms it sits pretty straight but at 100 it sits a long way around.

my car is stock except for just jap dump, hks high power, gutted cat, just jap stealth intercooler and h&n panel filter. ive also got a turbosmart boost t cranked right open. so 10-11psi

anyone have this problem??

you could be onto something there, when i first got mine i took it for a lash out country and came to where the tarmac stops and turns to gravel, thought i would try it out on the gravel rd and noticed the same thing ( only went about 50m). The torque gauge was way up near the 50 mark and i noticed a slight pull in the steering wheel, Mine has only done 50,000km so i doubt it if any thing is worn out

    • 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?
