grrrrrrrrr......GREEN EGGS & HAM steve?????

Now look what you made me do!!!!!

pete i was down talking to George Vidovic on the weekend, he's got a few nice choopers down there. Only had a quick look as i was more interested in his cobra

looked funny though in the driver car park area, there were Audi R8's Ferrari's, Porsches and a nice big matt black chopper in the middle

Thats right your in Melbourne now. Does George still call himself "Python"? He's got an nice blue Cobra & an old white FLH Harley thats been on TV shows a couple of times.

My bike is always on the back cover of 'Heavy Duty' & 'Chopper Australia' magazines and Western QBE ads these days so George may know it from there.

haven't moved anywhere yet just went over for a race event, and the people in melbourne have been screwing me around so i have been speaking to someone up on the gold coast trying to sort something out up there *better Jap racing scene*

George owns a company that builds cobra kit cars as well (damn good ones he is currently building 1 for Mr M Schumacher), which is why he calls himself the python. His helmet is painted in snake skin, looks different to everyone else's basic patterns

i was going to say something about yours but they was busy trying to set up the car. It wasn't to happy with 18 lap races and second hand tyres cos non of the suppliers there on the weekend had any the size he needed. Oversteer isn't the best when you need to rely on getting the power down fast to hold the porkers off down the straights

Cool.....good luck with the job prospects Nick

i'm bored so i going to share a "secret" with those of you who don't

know just yet hehe.

well about 3wks ago i bought a car from a family friend

i over heard him talking about how he wanted to get rid of his car

he told this guy he wanted $250 for it, but i only had to pay $200 hehe

could've gotten atleast $3000 for it but i'm glad he didn't want that much haha.

so anywayz all i had to do was get it registered and get a new fuel pump

coz the 1 on it was screwed (atleast that's what he got told), so i rego'd it

and got a fuel pump and well still waiting to get it home LOL.

it's not running properly and it's not coz of the fuel pump so my dad is

gonna get some1 to look at it or something.

got insurance on it aswel, it's only costing me $21 a month wooooo

ah yeah i haven't mentioned what it is :(

it's a 1987 Nissan Pintara GXE

    • 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 👌
