hey guys just need some advice i just got a r32 gtr 93 modle in very good shape pretty sure hasnt been wounded back 108000 original kz

i got a full service and got all the oils changed, and we noticed the engine oil was very thick n gooey we changed it to a 10-40 turbolight.

after we changed it i drove about 30kz and noticed a knocking noice at about 3000rvs, i herd it when we first got the car but very faint and just though it was the engine as a rb26 normly makes a ticking noice.

it got worse the next day i took it to 3 workshops and they arnt 100% sure what it is most ov them said its the lifters but im just scared it something worse, i changed the oil to a 20-50 and that quieted it abit but the noice is still there.

Has anyone had this problem and if use could please share info with me.

Thanks.

If three workshops that heard the noise didnt know, then your chance of getting a good response from people that cant hear the noise isnt good. Were the workshops familiar with RB26s?

Are you familiar with how other GTRs sound? Lifters and injectors do make a lot of ticking noise, but since you said knocking it sounds like you're hearing something else.

Rb26 does not have lifters

If the noise occurs around 2500rpm it will be a worn out big end bearing and unfortunately this means u need a rebuild or a 2nd hand motor.

U could just get the crank tidied up and a new set of bearings but for the effort it takes to do that u may aswell rebuild or replace the motor

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      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?

      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.
