Hi all

I have a clunk coming from the front, to be more specific its either right under the pedals or its in the centre. Quite hard to pin point the exact location.

Now i have the car booked in for a inspection. Im making this thread to gauge what it could be.

Time for some symptoms.

If I drive say 60/70km/h and get right on the brakes, there is no noise, maybe the faintest noise, but it could just be me being paranoid.

But if im going 40 or below and brake hardish, I get a clunk clunk and if i dont stop during this part and start accelarating i get another clunk when the weight has transferred back.

I can replicate this quite easily in my driveway,

Go forward - brake - clunk as the car stops

Reverse - brake - clunk as car stops

There isnt any noise over bumps, in saying that, i went down a real bumpy road (downhill) and was making the same clunking noise. Other than that one incident it hasnt occurred whilest just driving.

Some say castor rod ends, some say control arm bushes. Im sure the tyre shop im taking it to will find something. I hope at least

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
