Just throwing an idea out there.

I know this is different to almost all other car specific forums, but I think that we need a Stagea off topic section to ourselves, or for our section to be more loosely policed.

I find that I feel very comfortable in the stagea section and I really like the crowd we have in here. I think many people agree with me and that is why sometimes we get OT topics, because we dont want comments from general dicks in the real OT section.

The alternative to another section (like the classifieds) is just to be very loosely policed about what discussions go on in here.

Anyone else got an opinion on the matter?

I'm all 4 it. I also like our little community - almost like a family!

However, I've noticed that many of our threads are read and commented on by outsiders (ie the GD's that we are trying to avoid).

So how do we prevent them taking over the OT Section?

Man, are we cliquey or what?

Hey Dan/Ska are you able to make this idea a bit like a Members Only section?? Like the SauWA etc members sections...how they are hidden from non members... perhaps we could only open it to those with stagea's ??

I don't really think it has to be "exclusive" to us, it's alright to have the opinions of others once in a while too... If they do start to act like idiots and start causing trouble, then we could then deal with that appropriately when it occurs.

haha, good to see that I was on a winner.

we couldnt make it members only, unless, we start a "Stagea Club" where we all pay to be members, but then I doubt that because uhh, we are australia wide and organizing cruises would suck.

either a wasteland thread or another section, either way I think it could be the go for us.

I reckon it is a good idea, seeing as not a lot of the stagea guys here even know or look around the other area's of the site.

I think to start with a wasteland thread would be good, and I'll sticky it, and go from there? If a single thread is not enough for any OT disscussions, then we can look at making a new section?

Personally I think a wasteland thread will suffice, I mean it does for all the state sections, and NSW & QLD do have some post whores!

      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?

      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.
