I have gradually lost the fun of driving my skyline, and need some ideas to get it to kik me in the arse again. Most of you know my car has 250rwkw and right now i found that.. well... boring. I think it may be the fact that im used to it and it doesnt surprise me anymore. What are some cheap ways to squeeze power into it, keeping in mind that it has stock engine internals and is running a GT-2835

How long have you had your licence:) Seriously, rather then spending money on another 20-40 rwkws and never having anywhere to enjoy it. Better of spending the money on going to the track and having a ball.

The track with 200rwkws in a GTST is awesome fun...so with 250rwkws it would be tip top. So dont spend another dollar on power, spend it on enjoying it in an environment where you can actually let the 250rwkws loose:thumbsup:

Or go grifting...that seems popular and fun too:)

Ive been driving the skyline since it was bought it Aug 2003, first i was driving it on my L's and now on my P's

Yeah i wanna go to a track day, belt it around a bit :( Would be fun

Drive a festiva for a week, then get back into your car...easy fix!

LOL that would work very well. Think ill settle for Roy's suggestion and go to the track :P

Chris you need to drive harder, you must drive like a granny :(

Track is the answer!!!

100% agree.

I was much like that myself with my car previous to doing all my mods.

Whilst im not on the track at the moment.

Lately i've been doing some runs late at nights with another group of boys that's really brought the fun of driving my car back to me.

I really should be taking it to the track i know. And when i do i expect that i'll enjoy the car even more again to be honest.

Also, i have a dialy... a FORD KC Laser. Whilst not running the past 6 weeks.

That piece of sh|t really gives you an appreciation after a few days of ot driving the skyza.

There is one other way. Let someone take you for a spin. Its soo much different in the passenger seat.

Mate of mine took me for a spin about a month ago in my car (i know he can handle it)

And i swear to god i was sh|t scared. He wasnt being silly. Just flat acceleration but by god i can now respect why some passengers of mine get a bit worried at times.

    • 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?
