Glenn: As per last night, won't have car back. Will probably come along to lend a hand. Will bring my tools and stuff anyhow. Might do something to the r31, dunno.

kinda looking forward on working on your car though :D

seeya tmr then.

that one is around $250..

a bargain basement one will just bother me.. i might be keeping the r31 for a while as just a thrash around car. Even that one i'd put in another car. It'd actually be better than the model i have in my r33 (which was the older model)

yeah :D i'm a bit pissed over it too.. but panel beaters its one excuse after another, and then one day when u least expect it they say "hey, your car is done".

The main concern in the r33 is the brake fluid.. up nebo the other time i was getting brake probs on the way down.. bit of a worry. Gearbox and diff is fine, but time they were changed. I mean i've done 30,000km since i've had it, and they have never been changed.

Oil, sparkplugs and the filters i've changed regularly.. but not the other more longterm stuff

this indicate i need a good rub-down...

any recommendations? :D

Warwick told me of a good place the other day. YOu need to book in online before you turn up though. http://www.squizzlovepalace.com.au

apparently the first inch is free, and they offer a "full service" whatever that means. Or so warwick tells me.

    • 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.
