Back from the World Superbikes at Phillip Island. Got back home at 3am this morning ... still feeling the big weekend. Working from 6.00am thru to 6.00pm. Got positioned at turn 1 for "recovery" (of crashed bikes and riders). Did anyone watch the National Supers race and see the 3 bike pile up into turn 1? I was there. 3 riders down, 2 out cold and 1 very pissed off. Good thing it was on the last lap, so the race had ended anyway. Took a while to clean that one up. Biggest highlight of the working weekend.

Biggest highlight of the non-working moments was the big FAIL to Vic police who capsicum sprayed half the pub when a fight broke out. That shit is nasty :P

Anyway, might go to bed again and catch up on more sleep :P

BTW the rear tyre on the Brutale got trashed :P

hahaha thats funny as about the gtr stuff.......

thank god i own a non turbo tho :P so much easier but i must admit there was a dude in the N/A... section who said his car was non turbo but he had the Red/White GT Badges and on the rear bar he had a GTT badge..... i have to admit it was quite confusing until he said that the car had a non turbo engine put in it before he brought it. nfi why tho.

Went down to Michaels new shop Carline today. I recommend him, he did my exhaust at Aussies and really knows his shit. Plus he had a few 2jz's laying around, asked if I wanted to throw one in... Has really got me thinking..

ive only rally found the Do Luck ones and the ones that Viva Garage have got...........just spewin that i wont be able to fit GTR fenders on unless i change the bonnet and front bar :P

why does life have to be soo cruel in that way? :P

yeah gtr guards are basically for gtr front end conversion, unless you spend a mint getting them moulded onto standard fronts.

i want something a little wider with a vent, i love the look of the vent.

im not worried about spending the extra money on fitment cause the car will be going in for a full respray next year and ill get them put on when that is getting done....

krishey - u gonna come to loxton for dinner are you??? :P

and nah muirsky not getting new rims - i got them last year lol im really happy with the 19's anyway they look really good especially with this years graphics design :P

    • 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 👌
