Hi All,

After the SCC06 QLD Skyline Cruise on Sunday, I had a look at everyone's cars and heard some stories etc... And thought, how good would it be for people to be able to publish their story of how their car got to the stage it is now.

So, yesterday after a bit of looking around and not finding anything other that personal sites people have set up to show the world their unique and individual machine, I registered www.mycarproject.net and plan to make it into... well, a lot of things really. You would be able to blog (I hate that word, but thats essentially what it is) the entire history of your car, document your mods, upload pictures, journal its path from how you got it, to how it is now, comments / mini-forum - topical discussion. Another way I think of it is like a myspace for you car without all the gay yuppie shit (Not that there is anything wrong with being gay) .

It is in no way limited to a particular brand or model of car, although it would allow searching for a particular make/model/year/engine type/size etc... And I want to give people the ability to show and express their interests in their own car. It is not an open forum like SAu, however it should have the ability for other people to express their interests in other peoples cars etc...

So, I'm just after your thoughts on how you would think this would go and what idea's you think would be good to incorporate. I also emailed PranK about creating something similar for SAU only.

Let me know what you think,

Dave

Yeah, I was thinking more of a structured modification history / blurb about each thing you put in there. So you talk about what was done at the latest tune, what things were found / what you tried and the results. Not just. Tuned to 200rwkw.

That way you can sort of timeline the history and changes made to your car. But anyway, I will just turn it into my personal 34 project site.

Cheers,

Dave

    • 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?
