Hi all you good folks in S.A. Hows the life down there? Just wanted to find out the goss of the area as it looks like me and the missus will be moving down there in the near future, well maby not to near but this year some time. Looks like we will be moving to the riverland though so that will suck as far as the import seen goes, but will have to see what i can start up and will deffinatly be down in the city for some events. Will be looking at buying a 33GTR V Spec when we get down there.

So anyway if there is anyone who wants to chat and let me know what is going on down there, that would be appreciated. Or you can just chat in general if you like. Im open to anything.

Ps if someone knows a good shop for import work and where is the best place to buy imports that would also be appreciated.

Hey Hey Hey..... we may be a little slow here in the Riverland... but there are a few imports up here.... Thanks!! :):(:) :lol:

I know there are a few 180's, 200's, couple of 33's, heap of 32's and 1 34... mine! hehehe Some Sil80, plus a good selection of WRX.....

But generally we all make the trek to Adelaide.... Quick 2 and a bit hour drive (speed limit) :(

Yeah we have Capa up here... nice blokes.... plus great weather most the year round and open roads.... did i mention that most of the po-po stations close at 11pm.... meaning fast and great boosting times atfer that!!! hehehehe

The country is great!

Mr Sniper911

Yep, im from the riverland too. i like the fact that there arent many imports around... makes my car more unique.

i can do the freeway - adelaide in a bit over 1/2 an hour on a good day (speed limit too)

Azza - make sure you come on one of the sa cruises, great bunch of people, and really good way to get to know the import scene here.

as for workshops, i recommend Boostworx for mech/tuning work.

thanks for the info guys, thats much appreciated. Am looking forward to coming down there. Only problem is that i will be without a car for a while as im currently selling mine to finance the move. But hopefully will be looking for my GTR beginning of next yr. then its time for boostin. And i know what you mean about the cops i used to live there, was all good until one night the old man (a copper i might add) busted me and a mate playin cat and mouse through the streets of Renmark. Was not to happy after that........................still its all fun. Will have to keep in contact with everyone

    • 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 👌
