Changed my Spark plugs, put NGK PFR6A-11 in it.

Old ones where Buggered! Might explain the misfires and Flames out the exhaust. :whistling:

Flames.....flames.....flames are AWESOME!

Edited by Jetwreck

You are dumping air out of the system that has already been metered and had fuel added for, excess fuel in to hot exhaust = flames (especially when you give the throttle another stab and it gets hot gasses rushing up behind it).

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

ohh i didnt realise you sent me a faulty one back. awesome!

I presume you are joking.

You were going to take it apart while work with your mate to see if you could adjust the signal/response to hopefully get rid of the throttle restriction.

As such it "didn't matter" that it was causing a high idle as it was just going to be pulled apart anyway.

Hence why we swapped my TB with the V35 TB you had.

If you are joking mate, I have missed it (just had an "interesting conversation" with my boss :mad: )

not joking. anyway too late now and dont want to get into it in a public forum.

Despite it being (in my opinion) a hard hit, the air bags didn't deploy, but it was a side swipe impact afterall. So I guess on that basis, it will be cheaper to repair now that I don't need replacement airbags.

Here are some pics ... warning, the following picture may offend.

The image doesn't show well, but the fender is concaved right in and the plastic shroud rubs the wheel.

If I haven't mentioned it already, was an old guy who pulled out of a side street into my lane. I really had nowhere to go and not enough braking distance. Tried to get around him, and almost made it, otherwise it would have been more front end damage and airbag deployment.

:down:

ahh damn! glad youre ok mate

i think they need to do annual testing of older drivers from 70 now.

i got taken out by a 74yo lady who said she had a green arrow to turn. except she wasnt at that intersection.

OK so I got my new grill today....sprayed it up and fitted it.

Thoughts!!

P.S. I just figured out my bonnet is out of lineblush.gif

Thats fairly impressive, you managed to take two photo, minutes apart & from an identical position, with your finger over the lens both times :P

Looks good !

    • 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 👌
