Ill make this list a bit more convenient for you..

1 engine oil. any Fuilly synthectic, i used a semi synthetic and it worked just as well, and is cheaper.. its your call.. change every 5,000ks

2 tranny oil. no sure, get a good rated oil, doesnt HAVE to be nissan brand.

3 rad coolant. make sure you get a good coolant for performance engines, alot of coolant is just coloured water

4 brake fluid. get a high temp rating fluid.. DOT4 possibly? not 100% sure

5 p/s fluid. any power steering fluid will do

6 sparkies. ngk coppers, you can buy them pre-gapped at 0.8m

7 brake pads. bendix ultimates (front caliper is same as 300zx, rears are same as 200sx I beleive)

8 oil filter. any brand, get the same one that fits an RB30 ( for VL, or R31 Skyline)

Just some prices from my last change I did over the weekend for those interested

1. Mobil 1 is about $55. Semi-synthetic ~$32. Check your oil, if its showing any sign of going into oil colour (black) change it.. turbos don't like black oil!

8. About $12 for oil filter

Kmart isn't a bad place to grab oils and the filters cheap. If you can get 20% off auto stuff they have sometimes you're set :)

    • 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?
