That's a very good question.

It harks back to primitive man, when we were not only the hunter, but also the hunted. As you all know, eating carrots improves your eyesight. Well, carrots were not readily available tens of thousands of years ago, so man evolved to synthesize carrot in the pancreas. This gave us better night vision to enable us to hunt at night, thus avoiding the apex predator: the sabre tooth tiger. (It also allowed us to hunt wooly mammoth much more effectively)

Of course, the prduction of carrot must be very well regulated in the body, and excess carrot must be discarded, otherwise it can cause other complications (ever seen someone who's taken too many tanning pills? It's a derivative of the same chemical that gives us night vision). In order to rid the body of excess carrot, the body would periodically purge this excess (as well as other toxins).

As manking evolved, he learnt that these toxins could be expelled from the body by ingesting other chemicals which they brewed from fermented vegetable matter. This also had side effects, such as making said men do strange dances, and engage in group hugs with members of other tribes they had never before met. Unfortunately, excessive exposure to these self made chemicals had the effect of diminishing their night vision to such an extent that they almost lost all vision entirely. This was later termed as "being blind drunk", and fortunately is only a temporary affliction.

Of course the meaning is still with us to this day, and so are the carrots.

Even if one has never eaten a carrot, those pieces of carrot still manifest themselves whenever the body has to rid itself of harmful chemicals and toxins.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

geebus......what a thread....lol

what no one mentioned is that third party...covers the persons and thier hospital bills. you need to make sure you get third party property to cover other peoples cars........and no. you cant claim existing damage to a car. so just getting insurance then claiming wont work at all. they will want dates etc and details and you wont be able to talk your way around it.....lesson learnt. get insurance straight away. there is no reason not too, it takes a few minutes over the phone. if you cant afford the insurance on your Liner then dont buy one in the first place.

your gonna have fun chasing that cab driver up and making him pay...sucks to be in your shoes.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
