There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

Hmm you went to school with birds didn't you?

lol you go missing on the regular anyway...

Congrats dude! Take me for a ride? Still waiting for our red 86 to come :D

Yeah you're right, I do. Not as much time for forum whoring these days. Cut right back.

And sure, if you're there at the Dyno Day/Renewal Day on Sunday I'll be there. It'll be a sedate ride though, will be running it in.

And wow, fatherhood has turned Hamish into an angr(ier) man! It's okay, I won't try and infect you with my auto driving ways. Hey I had/still have auto FWD's and I'm female. All the stereotypes at once.

do people still run in new cars?

Definately subscribe to this school of thought. Beat on dat engine yo!

What uni man?

SAU Daytona meet.

Monash Clayton man. Although majority of that time was when I was in first year. IN for SAU Daytona meet though, brush back up on dem drift skillz. + I'm always at Uni :P

Realised by 'hard' I think I meant 'advanced'. Ain't nobody got time for Expert :P

Yeah I would probably go and beat on a new engine, all the mechanics do it when they rebuild engines nowadays too

Worst case scenario is it needs a rebuild, and on a BRZ that can only include forced induction :P

Yep, warm up your engine and then rev it out (dont limiter bash though)

That's what I did with mine and the tuner said it was making some really good power standard and I must of worn engine in well

Just drive it as you would if you bought it second hand...new cars are designed with the lowest common denominator in mind, who wouldn't consider running in periods. They couldn't afford to warranty new cars if they would break from driving it with a bit of stick. Think the engines are fairly run in / tested from factory anyway.

    • 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 👌
