Hi guys havent been on in ages... havent had access to a pc been using my iphone but only going as far as uploading to facebook to get my pics since the site doesnt have the ability to upload pics via mobile...

Well ive come a long way since my last post ill give a quick rundown on whats happend thus far.

My racepace built sump arrived and was a work of art ! loved every bit of it, the sum was installed btw was a prick of a job :D

turbo / hot side was complete with all factory lines running thanks to the NITTO head oil drain which i was glad to be the 1st public owner! and it does wonders for people trying to maintain factory lines.

Recoed my alternator only reason was it looked like shit on the motor so i decided to sandblast and paint the housings but everything fell out (never pulled one appart) so i decided to replace bearings etc and it turned out amazing !

the intake side consisted of drilling holes on the intake runner for the D-jetro using all the tomei gaskets supplied... recoing the AAC unit and replacing every worn out hose with silicone ones also using awesome hoseclamps that dont tare into the silicone

Cam covers turned out sexy as with the decision to go polished manifested in my head thanks to my dads gorgeous jaguar engine bay i was then convinced i had to !

The oil filter housing / cooler / heat exchanger needed a new oring which was not supplied i had to find one at work that worked LOL but its all good fits perfectly i wish i had the cash to get a oil relocation / cooler now....!

im at the point now where i have the entire fuel system minus injectors... but i am not going to install the system as i wont be able to chek for leaks / problems by running the car if i install it... the d-jetro will want to learn idle.. there for i am not installing the ecu just yet...

as i cant let my new baby idle..

standard ecu / injectors will be installed ( injectors got tested for $165 and i will sell the injectors for $250 later on after initial run / test is achieved) . after testing is done ill install my fuel system and tow to my tuner ( trent @ status ) to see what she can do :)

now all thats left is time... and some front drive shaft boots and were getting there :D

Pics below .

Hi guys,

Im happy to let you all know that the install and first start / run was a success everything worked out well, as my first rebuild i think i did a decent job on it and learned a shit load!

at the moment the cars running but we have issues and i suspect its the fuel delivery but also can be something to do with electronics, whats happening is ...

cylinders 3 / 4 are not firing spark has been checked and is working to both 3 and 4... and using noid lights injector cables were tested and seem ok...

igniter and ecu were also swaped and checked all seem ok...

i took it to a trusted mechanic / specialist on gtr/s and they also swapped over injectors to see if they fault in other cylinders but it just seems to be only 3 and 4.....

diagnosis will continue on the 24th of this month as hes away overseas for business...

to add we did a comp test to make sure it was not something i installed wrong or fkd up... all cylinders have 160 psi ( without being run in yet)

at the moment im really happy the cars running and ok mechanically and small issues can be fixed

to be honest im really proud of myself and i need to thank sau for providing alot of the info i needed for the build and the books i spend like 200 bux on lol!

ill upload dyno results when i get it on there and all issues are attended to...

Just a small list of the shit that got done prior to the drop in...

drive shafts were re booted, nismo mounts installed etc p/s hoses replaced whole engine bay got cleaned / polished best as possible .

Had to stick with my twin plate clutch which isent to bad atm works great may invest in nismo cylinder and clutch line to make it better..

waiting on R34 gtr center badge for valley cover and new twin turbo logo as i sprayed the inlet pipes black .... went for a neat look ..

running 15w40 Penrite running in oil (mineral based) took 9 litres engine ran / warmed up and did a quick oil and filter change after like 10 mins running atm running another sump full of running in oil ..for the next 1000klm

any tips on running the bastard in would be great im planing on just keeping revs varying and taking it on the freeway to do that... is 1000klm enough i also herd more like 5000klm.... but i dont wana run the oil for that long...

anyway pics below ill post up new info when cars ready for dynoing

oh oh! i got my injectors btw :D id1000s :) (not bosch )

and scored some 2nd hand cusco coilovers !

    • 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.
