would the workshops insurance cover your car Mitch?

it should as there was no waver or anything that had to be signed stating cars are left at owners own risk or anything to that effect ?

gotta wait and hear from either the shop or the police and go from there :P

Great to see ACA just didn't have time to run the drifting story, seems the crazy garbage ladies were more important. but then again by the way it looks the media spin doctors will be at work

i was never expecting a good story about it, i wasnt at all surprised when they opened with the word hoon and pictures of the magill road accident.

Your car will be covered by them, its their responsibility.

This is why I refuse to leave my car in workshops. Not that I don't trust them ... I don't trust thieves!

Just remember some workshops have one of those lovely little signs, normally hidden in a dark corner that say "vehicles stored and driven at own risk"

Those signs mean diddly-squat.

do the not have good enough security in that workshop or something? being that this is like the second time they have been broken into :)

Well we'll find out soon enough when the CCTV footage is used to apprehend the thieves. If not, then I don't understand why they wouldn't have something like that in place. I have it in my own home, and I'm a simple 8-5 paid worker.

It'll be a case of: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.

Thats why I don't like leaving my car in someone else's premises ... not when my home security exceeds theirs!

CORRECT...........I still laugh everytime I see those signs, you'd think businesses would've learnt by now.

Wooooooooooooooo the Yen just cracked 80 to the A$, and the A$ cracked 84c US. Kinda makes me regret buying the $500 or so of bits I bought for my new car over the last month .... good news is the next few lots of stuff will be at 15% cheaper than the previous bits .... go the A$!

    • 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.
