sorry Duc, my photography skills are pretty shite - I am a point-and-shoot camera guy.

I think the GTTs put out about 140rwkw standard. Mine with pod and cai box, zorst, bleed valve @ 10psi and SAFC II should be making around 180-190rwkw I would guess.

yeah I might have to ask Donnon if he kept all the write-ups they did .... I didn't follow it at all, but now wish I had!

you would have found it very informative andrew. i only caught bits of it. i think it made around 200kw with only an exhaust, fmic, and an AVC-R. it might have had more stuff than that, but thats pretty impressive.

Its just costing to much and too tempting to spend all ya hard earnd cash on cars. doh!

sure is. ive intentionally stopped keeping reciepts, because if i added up all the $$$ ive spent on my car it would scare the hell of me.

yeah Sam, when I added up the reciepts for my S15, parts alone cost over $20k, and have spent well over another $10k putting the bits on and servicing. Scary really.

I went and saw Batman Begins on Friday night - bloody awesome movie!!!!

batman begins...

hm i heard from somewhere that its a very dark side to batman thus more about him then the villians he fight such the previous bat mans.

the gf's been nagging me to take her to see a movie and i want to know whats good out there. For her to of couse. =D

yep that synopsis of Batman is quite true .... it really is a well crafted movie too!

An interesting movie preview is saw is 'The Island' .... has Ewin McGregor and is futuristic .... looked very cool - not really a 'girly' movie though

I took Carolyn to 2 of them, and to this day she swears she would rather have her eyes poked out by red hot pokers, than watch any of the LOTR movies again :) .... they are doing the rounds on Foxtel atm, and she hates it that I always want to watch them :)

likewise Ann will not tolerate sitting 3 odd hrs again on any of the LOTR's. But I love it so i can at least now it will be on the sofa instead of hard uncomfortable cinema seats. "FRODDO!!!!". hehe

btw has anyone sat in those gold/1st class, cant remember the name exactly, seats that was offered by one of the cinema's - where youre in a recliner and decent meals. Andrew? I though it was just a marketing scheme as its adds doesnt appear on tv anymore.

im posting so much crap tonight.

I went to Gold Class with a bunch of people to see the latest Star Wars, but after knocking back some food and a bottle of wine with the chick next to me, the comfy chairs and company distracted me from the movie. I can't see much point in GC and probably wont bother with it again.
This is very sad .... The same avatar !!!!!!

dw mate, mine changes all the time.

DOH!!

btw sam, i went to protec @ gillman today. Im very impressed by what they have and their customer service - the guy who served be was a champ. I asked if he knew you but he said no. :confused: hehe

yep, that's why you pay crash repairers the big bucks .... manual labour to the extreme!

Ash - I'm surprised you didn't like Gold Class - I haven't been yet, but am keen as - comfy chair, wines, movies .... mmmm

Ah, and I dug up my old HPIs and it turns out I have almost all the R34 project car write-ups :( yay!

    • 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.
