i am pretty sure their were more but thats all i got :D

Yup, Cops are setting up license/vehicle inspections on the way into canberra. "according to the newspaper" anyway. Wouldnt believe it all.

Spotted so many sweet lines last night, i couldnt find many SAU members though, where abouts were you guys standing leech? Spotted Nath's r32 though... was good to see a decent amount of imports out:D

Dayne

Most of the cars coming for the nats are already here... there was massive police presence on the border yesterday, nothing there this morning. Id say youre fine coming into Canberra (going out on Sunday night there will be RTA as well though).

It was pretty quiet today yeah

not as many cars, probably (partly) due to the weather

I'll be out there tomorrow though

Tell you what though..... VLs EVERYWHERE.

I lost count of the different onces I saw

I arrived at Goulburn (parents) at 8pm. Seen about 3 cops cars Sth-bound and 3 cop cars Nth-bound all around the Marulan RTA station area.

I was gonna head to Braddon tonight (then back to Goulburn to stay the night) but meh i'll just drive down in the morning for the Nats then go to Braddon at nite.

spotted 2 R32 GTR's in the super cruise last night just before the stunt show (that went horribly wrong) a nice black one (TUFGTR) and a dark blue one. at least skylines are getting some respect at the nats now

We were standing near the Shell servo gate yesterday when this burgundy 'line with NSW plates smokes the tyres a bit on his way out of the car park/camp area.

This fluro wearing official bogan nazi then proceeds to stop him, rip off his wristband and everyone elses in his car and kicks him out. Not 50 feet away an endless procession of cruising commonwhores smoke their tyres as much as they like, not a damn thing.

Either this f#*ktard doesn't like (a) jap imports or (b young guys of middle eastern descent, or both.

Oh, and then there was the expert"driver who plowed his "drift" ute into the fence and parked on top of some spectators last nite.....

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
