Hey guys. Ive done pretty much all I can to my R33 GTST. as far as bolt on mods go. Its currently putting down 250rwkw. Doin the last little job next weekend and then I gotta retune it. Pretty sure ive gone as far as I can with standard internals. Im expecting around the 270kw mark after I retune it. Is there any other uselful mods u guys can advise me to do, not for power gains, but just to make it run a bit better? (help the thing live for as long as it possibly can). I dunno if io posted this in the right place, but im open to suggestions anyways. Thanks guys

My tuner advised me to replace the exhaust housing my hi flowed one. He rekons most hi flows should get about 250rwkw, but with the GCG the standard exhaust housing is a lil restrictive. I got another for it. Im gonna replace that and retune it. He rekons hes tuned cars that got 290atw from that turbo, so I went that option for now just coz its cheaper and easy

E85 is about the only thing to make it last longer.

Imo 250 is prefect for the street, why not just leave it and enjoy it? Since my car started making 260kw I've actually gone "you know what? this is more than enough power for the street" The turbo comes on like the stock one but makes 260kw with no lag, what more could you want?

    • 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 👌
