hmmm yeah we'll rip it off and get the pro's to look at it

Heh, I spotted you doing this for Trozzle out the front of his place. (well I assume it was your work van parked near by)

I also drove right past Trozzle and waved at him but I was in the black beast which probably explains the weird look I got back. :devil:

bahahaha yeah man was sitting there going "Why doesn't it feel weird that some random in an EVO waved at me...?" I knew that I knew who was driving, just couldn't think of where or why :)

14th Oct my son God_speed's GT-R got rear-ended at 6pm by a Porsche

18th Oct I took his car to Nepean Valley Smash for a quote to go to Guild Insurance

18th Oct The panelbeater says he saw all these R32s coming down the Gt Western Hwy about 5pm on Sunday 10th Oct - ACT plates - & well-behaved!!! :)

Geez Terry,

I hope Matt's R33 is not too badly damaged, but I hope the Porsche is :D

Thanks :( Mick,

The Cayman ran up the back of a Commie which went up the back of a Suzuki which went into the back of Matt's R33 GT-R.

It looks like minor cosmetic damage only. Reo/bever panel will need replacement as well as the bar. So not too much.

Matt will probably be offloading the GT-R soon, as he's buying my R34 GT-R. I'm committing myself to a Bayside Blue VS2.

Nissans are under my skin a bit more than Matt, as he's still quite keen on Beemers too.

What comments (criticisms as well as compliments) did your boys have about the 21st? Different hairstyles back in the early 90s eh?

As if you were going to sneak that past me!!!!

I do indeed like blue although I try to keep as much colour out of the engine bay as possible these days. I do still like to try to aim for semi stealth and stock although that is getting harder and harder :)

    • 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.
