how big was the chunk? to be honest with all that compression n shit i recon it would just burn that crap out thinking its a small piece.. on a larger scale good luck with the rebuild not gona sit here saying why did u start it.. the past is the past if she needs a rebuild just enjoy it :D i know i would:D

funny thing is i drove it for the first time in 7 months after my accident and this happends

it wasnt clicked over for 7 months cos i had a front end colision

ony drove it 100 kms grr i misss it lol

well i did the whoe process and its not as loud but still there

ionly started it for 5 seconds

i dont know weather to let it keep running and let it crush up for to leave it

hmm this is giving me the shits

i just did some reasearch on the ngk website and the dumbshit at autobran has given me the wrong plug i think

the codes are different too what i got so it might be the answer

Check part numbers in the shop, where possible check inside the packaging too. Nearly had wrong oil filters a few times and been handed the wrong fuel filter before. Same goes for plugs, everything really.

if it screws in fine, the fault is yours. i havent used the specified plugs in my car for 4 years.

it sounds like you're dead-set on running your car without checking anything at all. although i think its fcuking stupid i'll give you some tips on how to do a bit less damage than you already have:

pull out the CAS and injector looms, pull out ALL spark plugs, pour some oil (around 300ml) into the bore through the plug hole of the cylinder you dropped the crap into then crank the motor for 5sec. do this a few times.

this may not fix your problem but at least this way you have more of a chance of success than the route you're taking now. keep in mind that you should get ALL of the oil out before starting the car again otherwise you may cause the car to hydraulic lock once the plugs are in. its not as easy as it sounds so if you dont feel comfortable doing it - dont!

when you turn your car on you will get a fair bit of blue smoke out of the exhaust from the oil that is now in there - give it some time to burn up.

again, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK and i HIGHLY recommend you rip the head off or at least get a bore scope instead.

LOL @ the people saying it'll crush up/burn...

1: It's the end of a spark plug. It won't burn

2: While it's being "crushed up" it's being slammed into your bore and gouging the f**k out of it...

3: When it reaches the head side of things and gets to the valves... Even more trouble...

I have a piece of piston come loose and "crush up" in my motor... It took everything out, lost compression through the bottom end, and also smashed valves... And the only sign? Masses of blue smoke on throttle, and a lumpy idle.

The noise you are hearing wouldn't be a sticky lifter would it?

If you haven't started it for 7mths you might hearing something that is unrelated to dropping the porcelain in there....if you are lucky.

Security I thought of that today and u got a point

my friend contacted me and he said he had the same prob and he said. Could possibly flush it out and hope it hasn't scattered around the head. Bt if I still hear it I'll take the head off and go from there

thanks for the help ts been stressful

what if i tightend the spark plugs too hard woud it make a clunking sound?

impossible unless you fitted the wrong plugs (projected type), skyline plugs MUST be BCP type.... we use BCPR7ES, i see alot of BKR plugs in rb's and they are also WRONG.

The porcelain makes nice divits in the head and piston which in turn cause hotspots and promote pre ignition (pinking)

nothing wrong with BCP7ES :-) who needs that damn resistor anyway

    • 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.
