Don't forget the filament inside the AFM.

You'll need to remove it from the intake and physically spray the heating filament/element of the AFM until its clean of all oil/dirt/dust.

Cleaning this will be more important than just the contacts on the plug.

Should your AFM have no mesh on the ends (unlikely), try not to physically touch the filament bit.

I gots a strange feeling your economy will jump 100ks or more with just AFM cleaning and new O2 :)

So I'll have to clean that with the contact cleaner as well? I know its got mesh at one end, not sure about the other.

I will be very happy if it does haha

Yeah...electrical contact cleaner on the filament/element as well.

Do not use carby cleaner. While this works good, it leaves a residue*** and you will be back to square one LOL

***subject to debate. some say it does, some say its all good but why risk it when for $13 a can at repco this week, you can get electrical contact cleaner :P

May I also suggest new spark plugs...your current ones should all be sooty from the over fueling. Best to do all in one hit so wait for your O2 to arrive.

Lastly, wet weather = car stays safely in the garage ;)

Went to work myself.

The show's over-rated and very expensive nowadays to get in...unless you love dagwood dogs and $10 cans of coke.

True, I haven't been to the show since I was in grade 3/4 and no real desire to. Work public holiday and get a free day off in July for the Nissan time attack day at QR= WINNING

  • 2 weeks later...

Details for Sunday please :)

Not sure as of yet but would like to know anyways.

Wife says as long as we don't get up to anything stupid, I should be OK to go if nothing comes up..... :unsure:

    • 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 👌
