Hey everyone a mate put me into an MR30 hatch last weekend i was going to buy for spare parts..anyway i got a mate to go pick it up through the week and finally has a look at it last night. and am very happy with parting with $650 cash it came with 2 VG30 turbo motors minus turbos, a wolf ECU, The rear end has been modifyed and now runs a Z32 LSD diff and drive shafts that were all rebuilt before selling it has RX7 calipers and larger slotted discs, as i am in the middle of a complete rebuild on my MR30 sedan i think there parts will be very handy my brother is taking the VGs and we are going to put them in he's old hilux!! do many people run a short nose diffs in there R30s?

I will have have it completly striped by the end of the weekend will take pics as i go.. its a sliver hatch was apprentlly used as a drift car? judging by some of the enngeering work that has gone into it i would say it was a backyard job ill post a pics over the weekend, ecpescially of the engine mounts before i take the motor out they are good for a laugh!! only got it cause it was ment to have an open wheel R200 long nose but ill take the LSD short nose conversion if i have too!! the only thing i think i will have to change is the tail shaft, i run a sedan with an RB25DET and matching gearbox and this had a VG30 and VG 5speed, seeming as its a car nothing ever goes smoothly! but im happy to get a new shaft made. ill take some pics of hatch and ill post some pics of my sedan while im at it..

Cheers Alan

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
