I'm taking it to the mechanic sometime this arvo.

Two weeks ago I had an idle/stall/jerky acceleration problem the mechanic cleaned the AFMs and it was all good... now the jerky accel thing again I read the AFM post on this forum about dry solder joints being the problem. I was about to open up the AFMs to have a go myself, but dad said his mechanic friend can have a look first... so I'll keep u guys updated hehe

I didn't trust the local mechanic so went ahead and did afew things myself. Cleaned the AFMs, opened and resoldered the joints, changed spark plugs (they had iridiums already in there doh). Ryco air filter. Still same problem.

Where the heck is the gtr battery located? lol

Took it to CRD today, man they have a tonne of skylines there! An R35 was being dyno'd the sound of that thing is SWEET!

Will keep this updated, hopefully it isnt coilpacks lol

Problem solved thanks to CRD.

Had a vacuum hose to ?regulator split causing lean running replaced.

Knock sensor gave error codes, wiring upgraded, timing reset... they power ran it on dyno and it was all clear.

A bit pricey but I am very happy with the service and will gladly give CRD my business next time.

Cheers,

fibbo.

    • 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.
