Dang it, I was just about to message you Nick to see how you are getting on and if can make it Nick.

Get well soon mate .... we will have a few for you :) ... and you will be spewing even more - we are going to drop in and hang out with Munro afterwards at the Walkers Arms and you were invited along ....

Oh and Matt, be at my place by 11:15am mate - but I am sure you assumed that anyhow.

Haha enjoy your bus ride :P .... I have booked a cab for Matt & I ..... but I am seriously considering heading over to Whiplash's place now, waking him up, punching him in the ovaries, and making him come .... mind you they say an exploded (or near enough) appendix he had earlier in the week feels a lot like being punched in the ovaries anyhow :P

Haha they are good mate .... not a single bruise :P

I, however, feel more than little second hand! MattR and I kicked on at the Walkers Arms with Munro for a few hours and a few more pints of Bulmers .... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo seedy today and I am supposed to be typing a heap of valuation reports (while watching cricket - spewing it has finished so early).

haha, i had started to sober up purely for time between drinks (and the length of the queues didnt help either). by the time we got the cab back to mine i was fine............and still didnt get home till midnight after pickin up Mel's car from Para Vista

I think i wouldnt have long left anyways, was starting to get a bit feral. Apparently 60 odd people got kicked out yesterday

was good to catch up with everyone, first time in a while. We headed to the casino after and i was drinking pints of bulmers out of my stein while playing blackjack and than poker :D won a $300 pot in poker which i was f*kn stoked with!

See you all next time.

    • 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.
