Hey guys both my front washer nozzles aren't spraying any water out. Well they are, but only for about a second then it sort of just dribbles out the nozzle. I went to a mates house with an R33 and put my nozzles on his car because I thought they might just be blocked and they sprayed out fine, so we are thinking it might be the washer motor? Thing is I can hear the motor working but is it possible that they can slowly die out therefore not causing enough pressure to push water out the nozzle?

If I spray the water without the jets on water comes out of the hose but it's not really a strong stream, it maybe shoots about <10cm upwards. Also if I keep tapping the stalk to use the jets it will spray properly for a second but stops as soon as I hold it.

Any other tests I can try before I pull the washer motors out and find replacements? Anyone got a part # or should I just get some second hand?

switch the hoses around on the washer bottles eg. put the front washer hose onto the rear washer motor and see if it works. If it does you can always just keep it like since the rear washer is pretty pointless.

I will also add my rear one doesn't work also haha. Stopped working well before the front ones started playing up :D

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
