Hey guys, just bought an R33 GTST, now 2 questions that I really should know the answer to but I don't, anyway.. AFTER driving for 30 minutes, there's a light below my speedometer (HICAS) I was just wandering if I should be worried because I don't know what it is.. Can someone pleaseeee tell me what that is? And also when I bought the car it comes with a turbo timer and turbo controller (hks) and everytime I boost it to around 5/6 it makes multiple beeping noise, should I be worried? I'm worried that the engine would blow or something.. Sorry bout the noob questions guys, it's my first turbo.. Please help!

the beeping is probably a boost warning level or overboost reminder

check what controller model and brand and find its manual

the HICAS light may come on if the speed wire (53) on the ECU loom has been cut (to avoid the 180kmh speed cut)

either ignore it or check the ECU wiring and look at wire 53, its probably cut

As Paul already covered the likely issues,

If you click this, you will find the forum index, Try forced induction for the EBC issues, suspension etc for the steering/HICAS. search them and see if others have had the same issues... What EBC is it? Find out, find a manual, and work out exactly what it is telling you.

Well the Hicas light could even be becuase the hicas is cancelled with a hicas lock bar.. If thats the case then its a good thing.. Check under ur car if u have a bar near ur diff or is there a bar with a motor kind of a thing..

The plain bar without the motor is a hicas lock bar

      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?

      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.
