I'm getting bout 270km max TAS roads so short trips got nistune, cooler, walbro pump, splitfire coils no exhaust... 194kw@ the rears. Is that normal??

Nope, I used to do pizza deliveries in mine, in tas

I used to average 12-13l/100km

Changed o2 and cleaned AFM. Nothing still 17l per 100. Reset ecu. Mm could not notice any change but on the same tank of fuel disconnected boost gauge and teed in greedy boost controller of previous owner. That was taking vacuum from hose between plenum and fuel regulator. Connected boost sensor of hks evc to this line. Now all of a sudden fuel consumption drops to 14l. But had done some long freeway runs on that tank too. Will see on next tank fill. So I dont know if it was ecu reset or the mucking around with hose connections to the fuel regulator. Could long hoses teed off there be causing the fuel regulator to be increasing fuel use?

450 is not bad for that power

but it could be worth asking your tuner if he could lean it out on the cruise parts of the map

i get around 500kms from a tank not on the highway with the stock tune which is super rich

Its just wound over 50,000 Kim's on the clock. Is this normal for a M35?

They seem to do that a couple of times in their life.

I would be replacing the o2 sensor, cleaning the AFM and changing the spark plugs if you are worried about fuel economy.

    • 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 👌
