Other than the fact it's under finance, that's what I love about the van - ridiculously good on fuel (~1000km from ~57L), can carry heaps of shit and you can sleep in it.

Shame about the expensive part haha

yeah that is frustrating. I can connect the Leaf but neither the Cube nor Cima work, they must be too old for ODB2. PITA

Speaking of the Cima it finally arrived on the weekend, drove it down today (goes great, it's like cruising on a lounge chair).

But...there are 2 problems:

* check engine light is on (goes fine though)

* front brakes need machining

Is there a workshop in Canberra who aren't afraid of imports and have a consult 3 or similar tool that can turn the light off, and can machine discs? I'd prefer to get both sorted this week if possible.

Is it just me or do you have your lefts and rights confused. :D

Consult (Grey Plug)

My Bluetooth adapter is OBD and with an adapter cable will plug into my Consult port but won't connect.

It would be worth a phonecall... I've only dealt with National Capital Motors in Belconnen (mostly for Parts) but they do have a service center there too.

I should imagine they would have the appropriate Technology. :)

all sorted now, turns out a lot of the Nissan dealers think they can't do imports :blink:

just got a local guy back home to do the discs and turn the light out at the same time. it was an AFM warning but I am 99% sure it was only because I unplugged it while f**king around with the headlights

BTW is it me or did winter just start again?

    • 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.
