last but not least!

Yeah see what i have to put up with Dark - thats why i have two too even the score around here! You think whats under the carport is bad should see the shit they keep in the house with holden all over it!

nah my folks - im an only child. We also have a 356 porsche with wide body kit. But didnt get any photos of it at the time. I have two cars mum has two cars and my dad has the HSV and a go-kart haha

Just a family of car enthusiasts! Been dragged around to car shows ever since i could walk.

yeah when i just had my 300ZX and worked for caryard - the wife of the guy that imports cars comes up to me and goes "thats a really nice supra you have" and im like .... what tha? you import them you ought to know it aint a friginn supra!!

Anyway on the new 350Z ad - it starts off with one that looks like my Z31 evolves into the Z32 and then the 350Z.

yep thats right - at one point dad wanted a motorbike but thats was until mum gave him her permission to have one - he lost all interest after that! haha.

Yeah we've got the room to garage them even tho u can only see one carport which is where the two HSV's go in the picture. We've got one beside our house and we can squash another 5 cars down there.

Its like tha tlotto ad where they go "can you move the porsche so i can move the lamborgini to get to the torana - y eah alright but move the holden to get to the ....... ahhh you get the idea but it gets a little like that round here sometimes!!

to tell you the truth my Z31 can eat my skyline for breakfast! which means theres a lot to do on the Line to get it up to the standard of quickness im used too! Althought the Z31 handles like a dinosaur which makes it a little dangerous - in fact its almost become my coffin a few times!

to tell u the truth its gone on the dyno to sort out a fuel prob but i dont really know. Most mechanics dont even want to look sideways at it because its a total speghetti factory under the bonnet! got pics of that give me a moment and i shall post the spag factory.

I would like to plug Rotomotion tho for fixing one worskshops mistakes - i took it in this workshop fully working with a slight fuel smell after 3 weeks my ex marched in there an demanded it back - the guys were so lazy that rotomotion found manifold bolts just chucked under the windscreen. They fixed the whole mess up - and what a mess it was! They are great mechanics!!

V6 Turbo. haha Joe u think my Skyline sounds like V8 you should hear this car - its as loud as - its one of those wonderful cars that you drive close enough to another car it sets off the alarm haha i used to have so much fun doing that!

Skyline does have more power in the top end but this car the boost almost send you thru the windscreen - but it kinda gets over and done with early one where the skyline you still can access more power when you're doing 120. dont know whether that makes much sense but i know what im talking about at least :) haha

heheh my yeah I know what you mean setting off alarm heheh...

I used to do that at my place car park...

late night back from partying, at least set off 5 car alarm :)

it's fun until some one complains to the landlord hehe :D

but then again you can not beat the sound commming from 7000 rpm rev limiter ;)

cheers

    • 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 👌
