I believe that funky is sri lankan and at the moment is in NSW. I know that his mum and dad?? are in NSW so heopfully this wont be a sad holiday for him or his family or anyone else on this forum for that matter.

It truely is a tragedy and one that should really have been a lot less severe if the countries other than Sumatra were warned as there was a 2 hour gap between the time it hit sumatra and the time it hit Sri Lanka and the other cournties.

Thats why we have a news section. Theres allready a thread in there. Anyway was 24,000 yesturday, sure its more by now.

when I heard penang was hit I was soooo thankful to god that my gf had left from penang with her family a few days before as she was holidaying there a couple of days before christmas... she rang me to ask me if I knew anyone affected, and all I could say was "thank god I've still got ya".

As for me n my fam its been a good christmas, no one that we know are directly affected. Apparently there's been a bit of mild flooding on the street outside our old house in colombo. My fam is mostly based on the western side of Sri Lanka which wasn't so badly hit.

Was wierd tho, we were all pretty amazed how ALL the lankans were workin together, disregarding the civil war that just seems to have passed. I guess it takes an act of nature to point out how small we are in the grand scheme of things and that its pretty stupid to be in a civil war over such a small island. Hope the feeling brings together all its people.

that's unbeleivable 100,000?

I'll be heading down to the Maldives mid Feb for my honeymoon, Just got news from the resort that it sustained no damage...thank god...My future in-laws just made the payment last week, there was a great chance that he wouldn't of been able to get a refund, if the resort had been destroyed.

Now I'm a bit worried if somethin happens when we're over there, cause we'll be in the huts that or on the water. Hopefully it'll be sweet I just wanna enjoy my honeymoon.

my heart goes out to the people who are suffering :D

they werent originally.... i think they were given some persuasion cause at first they only donated 10m.

bloody america... had to dip into the kentucky fried make'n everyone fat fund

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
