nizman, unfortunately whenever i organise a day out cruising my partner decides that i should also do something with her(fair enough i guess) on alternative day and as i already have 3 dates in my cruise calendar something will undoubtedly be organised for that weekend

of course it is mate,

i saw the photos from "running of the bulls" last year in the states and when you get more than 5o cars of the one type in one area it looks absolutely awesome

someone has to come along with adigital camera though cause i aint got one

can you imagine a collection of skylines 10 wide and maybe 5-6 deep it would be awesome

I'll be bringing my camera, and I'm sure they will be others.

Speaking of good shots, MarkO took a shot on the last cruise when we stopped half way down tamborine mt. It was three seperate shots merged together (by the camera!)to make the all skyline panoramic scene. I think its about 2100x800. I hope he brings that tricky camera again.

Well I would love to help up here, but i've usually got shit all time to do anything. (Through the week anyway). But Definately up for the Mad Mountain Run, but i'm still waiting for the compliance plates for my car (32 GTS-t) I've been pretty patient but it's really starting to get my fired up.

Well as far as I can gather, the plates are still somewhere between Melbourne and The Gold Coast. The car was signed off by the engineer Tuesday or Wednesday two week ago, then the report/papers were sent to canberra to be approved before being sent on to the compliers in Melbourne. Then from there sent back to canberra to be reapproved by the stupid ****in government bastards. So all in all they're just screwing me around. I'm gunna make some more phone calls on Friday to find out exactly what's going on.

    • 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.
