Its a sad day, yesterday I listed my GTR for sale. (see below link in my signature)

The bad news is, in the short term I wont be looking to replace my street car with a Skyline. I have 2 kids now so I will probably move for a 4 door family car until the kids are out of prams and car seats. An XR6-Turbo is the most likely choice at the moment.

I think out of all the cars I will miss the Black Beauty the most. The R33 GTS-T was my fist Skyline after owning a NRX. The white R33 GTR was a great work horse, but the R34 is such a great car I am already getting sad about moving it on. 8+ years with top rides I cant complain!

I will be keeping the R32 GTS-T TRKBCH, I will still keep some GTR heritage with the 3lt GTR motor, but it wont quite be the R34.

Anyway if anyone knows anyone who wants my car please let them know.

Thanks

:thumbsup::happy::/:D:(:yucky:

Leasing companys wouldn't let you get a Stag as they will be too old - oldest the car can be is 5 years when you go on the lease, than you have to get rid of it by 7 I think..

Oh well.. all good things come to an end eventually.. Maybe start putting some R32 parts onto your XR6 lease :(

oh noes :( so sorry you're selling! I never even got to see you out on the track!!! (Maybe once at oran park, but not sure if it actually was you!)

:cry:

Hey its not sold yet, I still plan to do the L2S OPGP day on the 16th.

man that sucks :wave:

i just hope to high hell that whoever buys it loves it as much as you did...

also, tell them they have to sign up here :(

I hope once it sells it does go to a good home.

Paul, Screw the XR6, get a TYPHOON

All the power and space for the family. May be a bit more of a whale on the track than the GTR, but they can crack 11sec 1/4 with only $5,000 worth of mods.

Sorry to see you selling the beast, it would be good too swap, but I am abouts to have my second kid.

    • 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.
