hello

so yea havent been down chapel st in over a year mainly coz of being defected everytime i drove anywhere near it and was just wondering is it still as bad these days?

is the cop attention still as tough or has it died down? or is it even worse? if i was to go there on a friday/saturday night would i see any imports/modded cars at all like in the olden days or is everyone playing it safe and taking their mum's shitbox?

just curious is all...

thanks

on my occasional retail shop down Chapelle i still see A LOT of hero's... WRX's seem to feature heavily, or maybe it's just the distinctive boxer rumble... either way, over the years, it's always seems to have plentiful supple of retards

I go down there some times. Lots of Commodores and occasionally a few imports.

Safeway car park is full of idiots ripping burnouts.

Not too many people around in Winter because it's too cold.

It will pick up in summer and you'll start seeing people showing off their cars, especially convertibles etc.

yeah you still get the muzzas rolling through Chapel St. but it's not as much....Definitely in summer it will definitely pick up and cops will be out in force again.

I still find it funny the amount of heroes doing silly crap down Chapel knowing cops are around and me laughing at eastside kiddies on their P's driving mummy/daddys Merc S Class trying to be cool. The last time I was in Capel for dinner with mates, I saw a P1 driver (Red P's) driving mummy or daddys Merc AMG SL55 with his friends...

Last time I went down there, about a year ago, very quiet, lots of cops, 4 cops on each side of the street patrolling.

Clubs were quiet, and the streets were quiet due to the police presence. Its not the same as it used to be...

    • 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?
