I was looking for a pair for my gtr as well , the best i could do was $1000 a pair new from Nissan , someone had a used pair and wanted $1000 for them .

In the end i converted mine but took the balasts and the globes out and kept them .

I made my own brackets to fit the hal globes , it took me a few hours to do that .

I get my plate tomorrow and i'm gpoing to put the zenons back in , if you were in Sydney i would lent them to you .

Sounds like a neat idea but i doubt my compliance guy on the gold coast would go for it looks like i might have to go for a new pair from nissan cause its better than getting my xenons hacked at.

cheers ed

Mate thats what they do but they cut the globes and use the fitting as a holder for the halogen globes then they cut the ballast and keep it .

Like i said if you were in Sydney i would save you the $ 1000 for the new hal lights .

Thats preffered trade price including gst , if you just walked up to a Nissan dealer would be around $590 each + gst .

Hmm do you currently have the Xenons on the car ???

I have the standard Halogens on my car, I will be willing to do a swap and pay a cash adjustment :)

haha yeah man i have xenons on and i want to put halos on for compliance and rego and then put my xenons back in :D

    • 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.
