Hello all,

So as the title states I’ve been a long time User of this forum. I purchased a salvaged GTR in April of last year and have slowly been working on it to get it on the road. I’ll post some pics of where I started to the point I’m at now. There is still a decent amount of work that needs to be done and I typically get a few hours a week to put my work in. I am still learning and by no means a car guru, just a grown kid who never lost his love for GTR’s. I appreciate the read and any suggestions!

Welcome !

Wow, I hope you have assessed how much money you are about to part with to restore that, let alone modifying it (if you want to)

Good luck with it !

Thank you! 90 percent of the time its never a good idea to throw money into a car, period. But I’m in it for a humble amount and have been pretty lucky so far in the journey. On the flip-side don’t be surprised to see me in these forums asking for advice more often than not ?

Hey everyone, been awhile since I’ve posted. Been pretty busy though. Heres some pics. 
 

also, would anyone suggest something about my cams? Is it normal to look so “cooked”? Thanks. Happy New Years.

Wow, looks like you've been extremely busy.😀 How is the body coming along any pics?

Body is straight, was able to get that done before covid. Its the “little” pieces which has been time (and money!) consuming. But I’m taking my time

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