Thought I might start a thread on my BNR32 that I purchased about a year ago.

Details:

Black r32 gtr

Came with a forged motor (which didn't last)

Stock everything else

Added some defi gauges to monitor things, then one night going up the freeway dropped down to 2nd and BANG!! Rear turbo blew and managed to putt home making no boost. Put some HKS 2530's on, power fc, 1000cc injectors. Made 313kw on low boost ( actuators needed adjusting) then a month after that the motor let go and lost compression :(

From there the motor let go and decided to do a full rebuild

JE pistons

Stock rods

New rings

Grex oil pump

High octane sump

Tomei poncams

Tomei valve springs

Mines baffles

Brain crower valves

ARP studs throughout

Then had some parts arrive and had the front hubs aqua blasted. post-38653-13983380344768_thumb.jpgpost-38653-13983380500416_thumb.jpgpost-38653-13983380684357_thumb.jpg

And that's where I'm at now. The motor should be back soon. Front diff is getting rebuilt with new shims, ordered a haltech platinum pro with eflex sensor, and will be getting new wheel bearings and ball joints throughout the front end.

Front support all painted, now to finish off the RHS wheel arch texture coating, clean up the BOV's then replace the rusted clamps.

Paint stripped my cooler and gave it a decent clean but not 100% happy with it so might grab a ARC item :).

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
