Had a 70% (?) tune done on Saturday.

No a full tune as we had fuel failure, either filter or pump :(

On the plus side, no more "boost/fuel/air flow/whatever you wanna call it" cut and a different throttle feel.

Throttle is a bit soggier at the moment, but at least I know it can definitely be modified :whistling:

Good stuff matethumbsup.gif

Looking forward to hearing the end result! Hope all goes well.

Deatschwerks 600cc, about $100 each when shipping is added on.

Wow, not cheap. I could have gotten you ID 1000's for that mate. Do these have the stock denso plug though? Im guessing thats why you bought them?

Gave the car an oil and filter change..

Whilst there also installed with the help of Craig (or should I say I helped him) a replacement actuator with spring tension..

This is a great mod... :)

Had to turn the boost down as was holding 20psi to red line.

The improvement is very noticeable with the motor being less peaky and drives much more linear from a stop to the top end of the rev range. :banana:

Grab a Nissan genuine filter and I use a 10w-40 or 5w-40 oil, the brand is up to your liking as this question starts world war 3 on forums, along with asking the frequency of changes.

Too true. The above is the general concensus, you want a minimum Group IV oil. I go for Motul 300v and Im fine with Ryco filters (445 I think is the specific model/size)

I've always found Ryco filters overpriced for average quality. I've got a Nismo filter on at the moment, which seems fine, and about to change it for a HKS one when I do my oil change. Going to try the 300v eventually, not sure whether to do it this change for the track day or use the leftover Valvoline first.

So I finished fitting the intercooler today. Not a great idea to do while you've got a cold/flu thing, but I needed to get it done and the car mobile again.

While I was at it I threw all the black clips on the front bar in the bin, and replaced them with brand new ones I bought on ebay. I also soldered the pins on the factory boost sensor at the same time, so the boost gauge works again (finally!).

Only thing is I've now got a bit of white smoke. Not sure if it's burning off the excess WD40 I used on the silicon joiners or what, but hopefully it goes away after a bit of a drive.

Paint not to your standards? :nyaanyaa:

Haha smart arse.

If you're going down the Ryco route though, there are other people who produce filters cheaper which are just as good if not better.

And if we're going to have a discussion on paint I'm not sure I'm a fan of the bright pink HKS filter :P

$50-$100 gamble over a potential $2,500 loss!!!!spank.gif

BTW - NEO is $112 delivered to you door for 5LT's!!!!.....the only other oil I would use would be Royal Purple....Motul while good fall's short of both the NEO and Royal Purple IMO!

LET THE OIL WAR"S BEGIN!!!!!!! BAHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAA

He runs the NEO oil.

I'm trying to work out what physical difference there is, and I can see the Motul 300v is more viscous than the Royal Purple, but haven't worked out any other significant differences.

I can't find the NEO datasheet - their own web site doesn't even list a 10w40 anymore...

I sent a snapshot of the tin to Cam recently...I'll post it up next time I remember...I also run a Nismo Oil filter......$10-$15 extra doesn't bother me either.

Are these M35/V35 specific? Is there a long wait time on them? I was really hoping to change the oil this weekend..

    • 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.
