i drove my 260 stagea back from brisbane to perth and i think it cost about 650 in fuel but that is doin 130/140 most of the way, running it on bp ultimate and payin $1.68 and $1.63 a ltr at two stops. It was about another 500-600 for two people for food/accomadatuion etc. and this was in march 07

"scootypuff jr"???

wtf? Sounds like a illicit drug smoking implement. :huh:

And don't let the lack of a stagea stop you from cruising, you won't be the only one!

(Yes Heath, I am talking about YOU - you are coming aren't you?)

haa. the " scootypuff jr " comment was taken from an Episode of futureama.

Basically Fry has to escape the aliens mother ship on a wind up childs toy.

thats about as much power as My partners Daewoo Lanos has.. hence its name :D

But its as reliable as the day is long.. so we are not bothering to upgrade it.

well . turns out the stagea arrives in Brisbane TODAY .. so . it apparently gets cleaned for 5-7 days.. what do they clean it with ? a toothbrush? then it needs to get complianced ( 1 week or so ? )

then get on a boat over here.. ( WA )

but .. who knows it MIGHT get here in time for the cruise..

we will be coming ( I think) wont be in Mitchy's skyline thats for sure >_< (see WA section)

Yaeh saw that last night, pass on our sincere condolences Kylie.

RIP ARRRH 33 >_<

we will be coming ( I think) wont be in Mitchy's skyline thats for sure :D (see WA section)

Kylie i feel for you and Mitchy...that was an awesome R33 and to see and hear about everything he has done to that car now completely gone i cant imagine what he is feeling :( Give him a hug from us ok :(

    • 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?
