This is his second ad i did contact him 2weeks ago as i wanted to see it no pick up calls no email no sms.... just 1 you got to see it in person some magazine wank off bla bla bla copy and paste from his ad...... no sms after that. Made several attempts of contact.

I love the vspec 2 n mspec as there r the only one i would consider.

Manne so what tool did you end up using?

I always find this handy as the straps never work or the metal band crimps.

But this guy at a tool shop once showed me this wired tool the looks like long nose pliers but with metal spikes that bite in he said its messy and last resort sorry can't find a pic for that 1

I like the chain wrench

They've only got 1.1's I don't know how to gap. Unless u go iridium. What gap am I meant to have?

Go 0.8mm

Up to 1.1 may be ok for your car for the time being but will be more prone to missfire and you'll lose nothing by dropping them a bit but everything to gain.

I tap them gently on the side of a hammer and check with feeler gauges.

About 6-10 gentle taps gets me from 0.8 down to 0.6

So considering I don't drive much at all (probably 10,000kms per year) I should just get platinum/copper?

Also, morning all, nice, cold and wet this morning!

I'd never go platinum personally. Copper are cheap and on standard car should do 20-40k km's or more. Iridium might be good for double that

I use coppers (same as skyline plug) in my work car and just changed them last month after 200 000kms so on non turbo they are good for ages

For those wondering, Ellie said she's tired aha.

I need to re-seal my seal job, as this cold/warm weather created small gaps on it :). I'm also going to gap my spark plugs today and throw them in the car.

Thank you for the translation [emoji28]

You're always tired. Supplements?

Hahahahahaha My day is pretty full on :) , up at 3.15 am and won't be home until 7.45 in the evening or later than that , depends on how busy with the events / meetings. and top up with Daily workout at the gym at least for 1.5 hours :) loved my cardio !

    • 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.
