thanks dude!

I will take a closer look but I have a funny feeling it isnt there....the car is still getting the aircon sorted out... Im sure I am going to get murdered for the 134 conversion and the second hand compressor.... :)

could it be somewhere else? its 11/92 R32 GTR......

I never really noticed or felt the ATTESA working on mine. My bro thinks its what makes it squirm around in the wet when driving over standing water, but I keep telling him that its aquaplaning cause the rear tyres are too worn :roll:

Well they didn't find the prolem today, they did work out that it comes on after about 4km of driving. But they couldn't get the HICAS ECU to do a diagnostic check, so it might be the ECU. It's going back in, in acouple of weeks, and it'll stay there till it's fixed this time.

4 wheel steer @ high speed and only up to 1.4 degrees i believe

Nope, not just high speeds. While parked, get a mate to yank your cars steering wheel to full lock (left or right) and watch the back wheels.

Jordan: You wouldn't experience ATTESA unless you own a GT-R or GTS-4. :D

sav man: have you tried getting in to HICAS diagnostic mode yourself? Its not all that hard: instructions are in the FAQ forum. Actual understanding the codes is a bit difficult though :rofl:

    • 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?
