I just did a service, changed spark plugs, oil and oil filter and flushed out my coolant 12 times before it came out clear.

but now when I took it for a drive, the rpms go up and down between 800-1000 when I switch the headlights on, constantly going up and down. 
 

what gives? Why am I always unlucky like this

Apexi power fc and OEM injectors. Injector 6 is right below the AAC valve hoses, and I had them leak onto it before. The injector is dirty on the outside. I think either the nipple on the AAC valve is corroded as hell or the hose is leaking. Could it be when I did it 12 flushes it would’ve forced more out and leaked onto injector six?

also I’d like to add that when I was changing the spark plugs, a part of the coil pack housing plug broke on cylinder 4, but it is still clipped in sitting tight. But I think this is unrelated 

im just saying this happened straight after the service

99% it is the IACV.

Hmm, did all the sludge block the IACV you reckon?

so taking off the whole unit, what do you recommended cleaning it with? Contact cleaner, degreaser or carbi cleaner? How, just lace the insides with the spray?Also can it simply be removed and put back on without having to readjust anything?

I'd also consider wrapping that broken part of the coil plug with some insulation tape....to be sure to be sure!!!

Too late I already put it all back together. It’s a pain to get to the spark plugs on RB’s. Hopefully it holds out for the next six months. Then when I’m changing the spark plugs again I’ll get a new plug. Don’t know why I just didn’t wrap some electrical tape when I plugged it back in. I was thinking about it but didn’t do it. Only after I put it all together I thought that I should’ve . Sometimes when something is done you access your work then wonder why you didn’t do a particular thing. Is there a word for that sensation?

on the other hand,I took off and cleaned out my iacv . But I haven’t started the car yet, so it got dark. I’ll see if it worked tomorrow 

Well cleaning out the iacv valve didn’t change anything. Could the plug on the coil pack be related to my issue? Is there any fuse or relay that it could be related to?(r34 gtt 25detneo)

also I noticed a ticking noise coming from the coil pack cover area. I think it may be arching? If you look from the top of the plug, only half of the top part of the plug is broken

I still haven’t solved this problem and it’s driving me crazy. I can’t even take my car out at night. Here are some things that I had a look at:

- IACV. I cleaned it. Didn’t fix the problem

- changed the broken coil pack plug. Didn’t fix the problem

- checked the maf wires. Nothing broken

- checked CAS wires. Nothing broken

- was told it could be a faulty water temp sensor. Disconnected it. Didn’t change anything

Like I said the idle fluctuates when I turn the lights on only, rpm fluctuates and voltage keep fluctuating between 13.5v-14.6v. When I turn off it sits at a healthily 14.3v

Can anyone please lead me to the right direction?could be alternator or reg be on its last legs?

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
