Hey guys,

This 180sx with the massive power run - could someone steer me in the direction of a list of engine bits? Thanks :P

AWESOME looking stand there - why is it almost every pic i see of you guys there's alcohol? :)

most people have taken shots that I have...but I selected a few that would be good for the ones in the shot...except berin cos he has 1000 shots of himself with chicks!

Archies car spearheads the stand..although the datto was the most popular for sure.

Who did win the best club? SAU would have been the biggest there surely?

Any 1 know what trophies the "PHATASS" R32 won?

My rx8 is the red 1 with MISSSK.

EZZY plates on the orangy RX8 belongs to Ezzy Astina's owner

Yep yep, hes my best mate. He couldnt make it this weekend, hes back in Syd, so I had fun with his car. His astina still exists... in bits and pieces in his garage

Good stuff! I probably saw your car also in the pics, and thought they were one and the same.

Pity bout the stina, know if its gonna get rebuilt or is the RX8 the new project?

Astina got defected big time, turbo has been sold, along with other things also, so basically wont ever really be rebuilt i dont think..... Erics keeping his RX8 pretty low key (well compared to ezzyastina!!)

/\/\/\ pffft, low key, isnt that what we all say at the start :)

With a base like that u could go NUTS so easy!! Must be hard 4 u too eh?

U wouldnt believe how many times this year I said I wouldnt do more mods. its an addiction lol

    • 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.
