so yeah i am a bit of a know it all.

stu knows everything............:shake:

I cant believe this shit, maybe it was my fault coz they were comin to my place for dinner :)

I just hope that they are ok, the car doesnt look in good shape.They gave me a message and told me they wern't coming coz they were in an accident, although Vicki stated in the msg that she was ok and it wasn't serious. I would have assumed it was a lil one and told its ok, although after seeing the car it looks pretty bad.

:D

hey dont worry makaveli they were going into the city to get something for sniffy, then they were gonna goto your place, so they werent on their way there. hehe vickii asked me twice before they left if i wanted to come....lucky im a lazy prick and told her i couldnt be ****ed and didnt go with

i dunno sniffy called me pretty casually as though nothing happened, he was like yeah dude, we hit a tree im sitting in the front seat waiting to get cut out...i was like wtf.....so i went down there and then i saw the car ......it was pretty freaky

anywayys im gonna go back down there now see whats going on sniffy will need a ride home...so yeah bbl

Sniffy is ok as well, according the doc, he got a few stitches but should be fine in the long run

    • 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.
