The Ben Simpson Memorial Cruise - proceeds to Youth Suicide Awareness

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...eb-t210902.html

Hi all, this is my first time posting up a cruise event, so bare with me

This is a very important event, its a cruise for a special cause, that cause is Youth Suicide Awareness.

Basically on Feb 4th (please look at link - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/BSM-Cru...b-t210902.html) a large cruise will be taking place, clubs from all over S.A will join and unite as one to donate money to help support Youth Suicide Awareness. A stuffed toy in the car on the day would also be much appreciated for those whom we've loved and lost.

The meeting place will be in the north eastern suburbs and venture into the hills, no speeders or show offs will be tolerated as this event has very special meaning to alot of people and cars crashing or being stupid will be kicked out. General rule of thumb.

If you arent a member of NS.Com, im sure the oldes Mark and Jules will come on this forum and pm those interested the final details. Police are being notified so therefore there should be no trouble.

Im hoping many of you attend, it will be great for some members of SAU to show there compassion, and there fine vehicles.

Thanks for the thread & your support Nathan.

We will try to be brief, on the 1st Feb 07 it will be 2yrs since we very unexpectedly lost our only son Ben (aka dr1ft_pig13)a 19yr old drift and import fanatic to suicide. How it all started Ben was also heavily involved in NS.com ....as we have been since he he left us. We have used all our time & resources to raise awareness of youth suicide & how it can happen to anyone. You may have seen his memorial stikas "RIP dr1ft_pig 13 always remembered" on imports around town.

On the day of his funeral the guys had a cruise in his honour and because he loved teddy bears they had a stuffed toy on an empty seat in his memory....so this will be the third memorial cruise.

You are MOST welcome to come in any type of vehicle...a gold coin donation to Youth Suicide Awareness & if u have a loved soft toy, please let it ride on an empty seat, with you. Hope you are able to make time & join us.......see you there.

    • 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?
