Hey guys. Yesterday I was driving around, parked the car and came back. Drove for 5 mins when I started to hear a loud knock/thump from my rear right corner. Almost as if my tyre is flat (and it isn't) the noise only comes when in not on the throttle but is silent when I'm braking it on the throttle..

Whats going on?

the noise only comes when in not on the throttle but is silent when I'm braking it on the throttle..

Translation / clarification please

Meantime, check:

wheel nuts loose

wheel bearing shagged.

+1 for wheel bearing, have you checked the wheel for movement side to side?

just on the weekend i had a wheel bearing go on a boat trailer, when your accelerating the wheel seems to straighten up, but when breaking or cuising the the wheel wobbles and that makes the bang noise,

try throwing some water on the wheel after a drive and if you get a big cloud of steam then you know its about ready to fly off the car, i think you might be close if your hearing that noise anyway.

Be careful of doing this if your brakes are hot, not good for them

Possibly drive shaft?

CV's, Handbrake on and put the drivetrain under load (first gear, slip clutch) listen for clicks

    • 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 👌
