Male ........ The most prized source of entertainment, with burning rubber and spent fumes an aromic byproduct.

Female ..... What? :P

Hey Luke (Heslo) :kiss:

I went and spoke to John Keen tonight and I reckon I may get him to do the turbo swap & tune over the next few weeks unless something better comes along in the meantime.

He's got his hands full with the Sniper 32 GTR at the moment (engine out)

That's better Luke :kiss:

No rush at all Pete! Take your time honestly, I still have parts to get myself and get my manifolds ported (have to get them off first!) So when you are ready you are ready, it's as simple as that!

Took a carload of rubbish items to the Wingfield dump today .... after I unloaded came back to the weighbridge and came in at 1,640kg - so minus me 87kg the 4 door comes in at 1,553kg with a full tank of fuel and fully wet. So around 1,480kg dry by my calculations.

I have always dreamed of having an SAU drag/dyno day at AIR where we corner weigh each car, then dyno each car, then run them down the strip. We could then graph weigh vs power vs 1/4 mile times .... how much fun would that be? Might consider organising it if AIR ever opens again.

an sau drags day would be awesome if air ever reopens, im down for sure!

does anyone know how good it is to actually get paid and have the FULL amount sit there >_<

no car payments, no mechanic repairs, no petrol costs, NOTHING!

ahhhh...... i feel a whole lot better bout selling it now :D

    • 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?
