I've had to drive about late at night the last few days and i must say - definitely looking forward to winter.

Or at least the car is. Wastegate lets off that much louder, boost is just a smidge bit bigger, car is that much more responsive.

Mmmmm, cool weather.

my tyres dont like the rain today :) im getting super happy SCAREY slides everywhere...

i should take a defensive driving course... anyone done it?

Steer into the skid.

Buy decent tyres.

Do a bunch of motokhana's.

be happy and merry :P

Loving the weather, gave my car a fair bit for the first time since owning it, love my car even more than before :)

Not liking the wet though, crossing Barton Hwy from Murrambateman road to the next street at peak time is a bastard as it is but crossing in the wet... I pooed a little.... im still not over crashing my old car in a slide

I've done a defensive driving course with Dereck from 5th gear. I'd advise everyone to do one, he really explains stuff well and it's good to know how to drive safer. It also teaches you a bit more about how your car handles in unepected situations.

mmm.... cool weather is good. my car hates the heat so mush that it mis-fires and idles rough every time i drive i drive it. as soon as the temp drops to mid to late 20's, car works fine and goes like hell... ;)

Done the same as well, from memory around 225$ or so, some skidpan work and how to brake in emergency situations. Good day.

    • 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?
