Hi everyone.

I just bought myself a 1995 R33 GTS-T skyline.

Had a couple of problems with it as soon as i got it home :( I'm not very good at buying cars.

Passenger door doesn't wouldn't lock, so i took the door trim off and played with the lever parts, and managed to get it to lock using the button. Doesn't work with the remote or key though

Has a touch screen cd player, which doesn't open ("Do you want to get your cds out?", 'Nah mate, you can have em')

Just hoping i don't find to much more wrong with it. It has a few mods.

- Boost Gauge

- LED Skyline Backlights

- Power AFC

- Blitz V2 Electronic Boost Controller

- Lock Bar

- Exhaust system (owner didn't know anything about it, was on there when he got it, I don't like it much, pretty loud + drone)

- Front Mounted Intercooler

- Dual core radiator system

- Brake stopper

- Sard fuel pressure regulator

- Walbro 550 fuel pump

- H&R Coil Overs Green fully asjustable damper/height

- 18" rims, don't look too bad, but i want to get a set of nice black rims

- HKS Pod Filter with cold air induction

- Turbo timer

- Blow off valve (i feel as though the noise is going to draw a bit of unwanted attention, especially seeing as though i'm on my p plates

- sway bars

- alarm system (no idea what type or brand

    • 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 👌
