I am truly sorry it came to this Erin. I know how you feel and now I am at an age where I can afford these types of cars, I won't allow anything to come between my goal to own a car I am happy to drive to work in but can also be taken out and spanked every so often. You are more than welcome to get a fix now and then with my car if you wish.

shotgun wedding car at your wedding. speaking of which i should come get my picture off you.

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :worship:

And yes, it's sitting here and I thought that the other night, I should go meet you somewhere to drop it off.

Hey Erin... So when is Andrew going to get rid of the VL?

In the next few weeks the VL will hopefully be gone. Theres a bid on it at the moment so I guess it sells when the auction finishes.

Thanks Dave :D Out of all the people on SAu, I'm soo glad we met Andrea and yourself :D

Sinbad has bought me many friends and foes over the years, but to those friends of ours, thank you for being you.

...Say goodbye and I'll miss you, tomorrow I'll kiss you, remember to always be true.

And while I', away I'll write home everyday.....

</singing>

And so ends one chapter, and so begins another.

Like compressed air through an intercooler, so are the days of our lives.

Goodluck Erin!

bahaha.. GOLD cyrus.. gold..

Good to see you got a sale Erin. Hope things go well for the wedding and whatever else in the future. Not a bad time to be selling out of the performance scene to be honest..

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :mad:

Good stuff with the VL hope it goes. Shame as well not instead of.

And Im glad I met you off boostcruising not here, otherwise Id feel very hurt by that comment :P

I hope your not going to dissappear on us now. And farewell cruise for the skyline???

Going from a HKS 2510 300rwkw 4WD GT-R to the 1.6L laser was quite the jump and can be pretty frustrating at times.

haha, lets race gaz

but seriously, yer, i feel your pain erin

we've just bought a house and atm the skyline stays (its our only car), but im nervous as heck especially with petrol prices on the rise and my horrible fuel economy

our baby is gonna want to not break down and be a very good car to hang around

luckily i got the wedding out the way earlier, so its just the house to worry about :P

im terrified that i wont be able to get what my baby is worth if i have to sell

"whether I really did need 200rwkw to drive to work and back."

You're right Erin...you need more powah!!!!

Well sad to see it go, but good luck with the house etc etc, I've heard that you get more plaesure out of owning one?!?! :D

Hahah..

Looks like we might have found a car, we are off to look at it tonight.

Sometime today I gotta also get to the bank and deposit the cheque :S Sometimes I hate being a fulltime employee..

Hang on, what am I talking about, I hate being a fulltime employee all the time.

Thanks Patrick :)

We purchased our new car tonight, pick it up on Friday.

It's not much, but it's what we wanted.. Mitsubishi Mirage 2001 model with 70,000kms.. all the mod cons.. blue. Will have very dark tinted windows and new mags soon enough :D

Cheap small car is the way to go!

    • 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.
