reminds me of the FNF, where they dude in the skyline is listening to a scanner and waiting for cops to be busy with real crims before starting the races???

only ass backwards here, the real crims wait and listen to the scanners for the cops to be busy with Defecting Skylines and other imports before they do real crimes agaist people and property!!! ....lol

GO FIGURE!!

My understanding is that if a car has a defect you are breaking the law...

im with you on that one, but...

what if your car gets defected for something that isnt defectable or even there? are you still breaking the law? :D

The other week I had a cop thought my cable for the subwoofer remote was a boost controller cable - the cable connection on the subwoofer end broke so I remove the controller out and left the cable there - it looks similar to an ethernet cable - pretty sure no boost controller uses an ethernet-like cable - argued about it for about a minute - received no defects.

I was once questioned thoroughly at an RBT about the cable for my GPS (which was not in the car at the time).

The cop noticed the mount and cable and was almost certain it was a piggy back ecu or boost controller.

After I showed him the (power) cable ran to the cigarette lighter he didn't push it further.

: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?
