Yesterday; pulled down the ke55, found out that it has a 3k head on a 4k block.. was consuming a lot of water too.

Today; finally finished off my ebc installation, holy crap I've been missing out! Massive improvement in boost ramp/response and still the same power/boost setting :) I will have to spend the next few days tuning it a bit more. Cannot recommend enough if you think your wastegate is opening too early!

Todays Post brought me a set of Front Brake Pads for R31 and a Spare Pair of Headlights.

More tinkering under the bonnet to eliminate Sputtering flatspots. (I think it's fixed but then find it's not) :( But after cleaning up some electrical connections and swapping in my spare AFM I may be onto it... Maybe. :/

See how it goes tomorrow on the commute to work.

First day back today... Need a holiday already.

good luck rob! mine was spluttering before I changed the plugs (around 3.5k 4k) flat out, havnt driven enough to find out if I fixed it yet, tomorrow when I go buy a claybar will find out :P

i really hate fault finding im having a strong cut when i accelerate heavily after changing the clutch. Might buy a new fuel filter,injector cleaner and new sparks. As for coilpacks will have to buy a new set, is there anyone with 34 coilpacks known working that i can use to test out if theyre the cause.

nah i swap them out every 5000kms when i change oil but ive done it more frequently of late coz of E85. Im thinking of getting these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230640250253?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If you are still looking for them when my car arrives, I don't mind lending them to you

Perhaps even the Tune/ECU. some form of boost cut under hard/sudden boost pressure

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
