Joe your lucky you never lowered your car - because your place is absolute murder for lowered cars took me about 15mins of very slow driving to get down that ramp of yours in the Line!!

But i used to work in this place that had a highrise underground carpark and i was only privledged to bring my car in if i had to work til 6pm. I hated that job - but anyway on the way down i used to set off every alarm i could in the ZX (plus ive left black marks in that carpark for them to remember me by) hin the hope that their batteries would be flat when they left - did i mention i hated that job haha!!

Dont take the line into highrise carparks often as i find that the ramps constantly scrape my kit because its lowered aghh! I did once when i had job interview - and never again because every ramp was *sccccraapeee*

Who said I never lowered the car... well you are right I didn't lower the car but my car already been Lowered... but not as low as your or Angel's car.

yeah I know my place is very very bad for any lowered car!

even my mate's VX SS commie touches his exhaust on that ramp... :D

hahaha speaking of highrise building car parks... under cover car park at bank west is shocking when I drive my car the exhaust is sooo loud due to echo factor sets off the all the alarm of BMW, Firrararary, Jags.... you name it I set off their alram... heheh.

Not a problem.

Don't forget I have owned a couple with two more cams , one more turbo and a LOT less room to work under the bonnet.

Aussie delivered - yes it is which gave me a shock when i found out because it had to have gone up to hong kong first then come back down here in 95. Been with Ash Farlay for all of its lifespan til it came into my evil hands in 2000.

In really good nick.

didnt happen to go up my street yesterday arvo did ya? haha mum was painting the front lounge and i get "Lauren, Lauren come here quick before ya miss it" but i was too late - apparently a white skyline was doing a slow cruise of the our street and since skylines are a extremely rare sight around here - she reckons it was somebody looking for my car haha.

my cars around - its usually parked down the side - or quite often im out. I dont exactly spend much time "cruising" around high wycombe haha you'll often see the car parked outside the liqour shop picking up something haha

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
