Had mine done at Boostworx ! took a while but great job

i would things take a bit longer to be done and be done properly instead of rushing someone to finish it to only take longer in the long run

Well I left my number at Boostworx waiting for them to call them back, but I think they forgot... Might give it another try next week. (I won't have my turbos soon anyways, probably 2 weeks away)

When I'm getting the turbos put in, is there any other fittings/bits & peices that I would need? perhaps the turbo gaskets? ($275 from Just Jap)

Also I dropped by AM Performance today and had a good chat to Andrew, hopefully getting him to put on a full exhaust system for me (dump, front pipe, cat, catback)

Saw Heslos car under covers getting some work done. Looks mint, would sound mean with the new exhaust for sure!

Cheers mate, not getting any exhaust work done, Andrew took care of that long ago. I took it there to use his hoist to rip the head off for a port/polish. Should get it back mid next week, looking forward to it. You can't go wrong with Andrews work mate, simply awesome stuff!

you would need a bucket load of coolant as well mate.....and gaskets for sure.....also copper washers would be good investment and braided lines if its not coming with the turbo

+1 to getting the AM treatment....he does awesome work for the price you pay.....and has awesome customer service as well

fingers crossed it doesn't but ill let you guys know on how it all goes tomorrow night (hopefully).

did anybody know that there were two types of nistune? and one cant be edited or something like that.

according to jaustech they cant remap jeff's nistune.

can anyone explain this for me. i would have thought he'd tell me that his was a different tune

I can't see how you're gonna get a turbo install for $350. Esp in a GTR. Are you changing any gaskets? Any copper washers? Any studs? If not, poor choice, you'll probably have to take it all off again when you realise you have an exhaust leak or snapped stud

not a gtr unfortunately, i just hacked the other guys thread haha.

the guy said inc all that stuff, guess ill find out tomoz, ill replace nething that needs replacing, the old turbo was working fine and holding boost nicely though

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
