i have just had a huge sub fitted to my gtr but it looks crap as the box doesnt fit under the shelf. i need to know what the three electronic devices are attached under the parcel shelf. i believe one of the square ones is a hicas computer if so can it be relocated or does it have to stay exactly as it is. the middle one is circular and has nothing plugged into it. its round and labelled panasonic 4ohm. i believe this is the stock amp and can be discarded. what is the third one and which ones which. any help would be really appreciated. oh...off topic i never know if somebody has replied to this unless i find the thread again and check myself is this normal or am i being retarded

HICAS, Amplifier,ATTESSA.

anything is possible if you want to move them. there is enough slack to drop it down but not to move them totally out of the boot. make a box to suit.

not 100% positive but isnt there a G meter in the Hicas box and possibly in the attessa as well ? moving them would cause issues if so ? same as a roll over sensor on most cars that shuts the engine off if it senses a rollover ? I got caught out on a 5.0 mustang once by moving a sensor in the hatch area , looked like a simple relay and it was a rollover sensor , car wouldn't start once moved and facing the wrong way

    • 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.
