Anyhow, I may as well use this thread to wish everybody a final goodbye to VIC SAU. The last year or so I've owned my 33, and over that time each of the events I've attended has been great. Its what owning a skyline is all about. I've got to make some good friends, and learned so so much about skylines and turbos in general. You're all legends! Hope to catch up if I'm in Melb, or if you're up at the GC or Brissie..i'll be glad to show you around.

Best of luck organiser people for the official SAU club in future (you know who you are!). Anybody else who has a keen drive, I urge you to come along to as many meets as you can and put your name forward if you want to help the future running of the club. Just about everybody i have met in SAU has been a top bloke - and that what makes SAU so great!

And for those "lurkers" who frequent this forum (i know you're there) :), don't be shy, post a thread, post a reply, come along to an event, don't be scared! We don't bite! It takes a going to a few events to get to know everybody, but the results are well worth it. We've all been the noobs at some stage. Its true there hasn't been a whole lot of official events going on recently, but each one that has occurred and I have attended, they have been awesome. This will hopefully change over the summer, and more and more will be happening, so keep an eye up and sign up ! (should be just a few weeks away now!)

So well, guess its time to finally turn this ol' computer thingo off and get her into the 33.. and tomorrow I hit the road! and for Noof: ROCK!!

:headspin:

p.s. Smooth and Kamikazee, see you guys sometime soon!

    • 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.
