slowpoke. yours is probaly +100,00kms too u just dont know it.

yours is 90,000km for a 93 car. which equals to about ~7000kms a year or ~500km a month... do u think thats right? or...

yours mates 190,000kms for a 94 car which is ~16,000km a year.. and ~1300km a month...

which seems more realistic? winding back clocks is a major thing wen importing a car! but either way u shouldnt be look at km's. condition is wat your after!

hmm.. the car is stock except that the turbo has been changed but im not sure to wat but its runnin at stock boost 0.5 =.= it does not have a fmic and injectors has not been changed as well.. the previous owner from my car when he imported it he did not drive it for like 2-3 years coz he was workin outstation at a mine... so... maybe i got lucky and bought it at tat price.. his engine has not been rebuilt.. and the boot is missin a part that covers the small area where the battery is.. that piece of grey thing... its like he only bought half a car =.="

you spent 50k on your line ? man i dont wanna be rude but i said "STOCK"..

phuong got his impul r33 for 14k, with tonnes of decent mods, i still think its stupid seeing all these dealers selling stocko lines for anything over 13k.

theres a guy near my place who's had the same 5 r33's for years now for sale, they are all around the 20k. its fkn stupid.

why?

If someone is willing to pay 20k for an r33 then why shouldnt the "guy near ur place" sell them for 20k?

there is a big difference between a thrashed out import and a nice clean, non-accident history one

thats my point, obviously if they have been sitting there for so long and no one has bought them then its a rip off :).

dispite what people think, i belive all imports are thrashed, no one buys a turbo car not to thrash it. or at least drive it hard.

clean, is ok, i was suprised when i bought my r32 at how damn clean it was for an r32, made me feel good when handing over the cash.

Car was 23k, the other 27k+ are mods and stuff.... :( It all adds up :(

i do 400ks a month in mine :( still be brand new in 5 yrs haha

I don't even do 120k's a month in mine I WIN :D

    • 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.
