me like the volley ball chick, and peterbuilt one... but so many to choose from...hahahaha

lol my mums got vp on gas. i reckon thats about what its worth. pos is the most unreliable car our familys ever owned. we owned is since 98' so fair while now laundry list of probs, mechanics have mentioned to em a few times its the worst car to have on gas.

aside from that what i always thought was crap with em is the power steering becomes super light suddenly at 3/4 lock, making for jerky steering.

get a dato man, mines got tow bar :P towed a broken down vp with it b4

some f**king scumbag asshole kids shot a ball bearing/slug/rock through my brothers windscreen as he was coming down the McIntyre rd hill towards Bridge rd last night, leaving a 3ish mm hole in the window with excessive spider web cracks. :P

his friend said it might have been from an older model pajero, but not sure. f**king scum.

yeh but y are they so bad..?

They were made in elizabeth nuff said, cant remember all the probs it had but as far as im concerned it had an easy life. gbox blew, power window buttons dont work half the time, used to overheat alot, rear suspension went on it. the only thing in its defence was it has done something like 280,000k

o and bogans n old ladys drive them :P shopping trolleys handle better. had good torque though ill give it that 1 :(

n damn damo thats some messed up sh*t

Man those fit chicks remind me of my SASI days. f**k me the chicks were good back then.. and always willing on the long road trips too :P

Anyone know any tire places in the Port Adelaide area that will stretch tires? CBF driving to sinergy or wheelworx

what would vs berlina 1996 on gas, lowered, rims, CLEAN be worth?

i dont know alot about commys

if its a 6 no more then $3000 in top con, if its a 8 no more then $6500, Iv got the 6 that i use as a tow car/daily and the thing is strong as f**k takes a beating by my fat foot.

if you want ultimate car detailing stuff...

permagard reactive polymer. full stop.

shit aint cheap tho :whistling:

yeah but its good shit...........ive used it before.....just cant afford it right now ;) but when i can ill be using it again :(

lol. whenever i wander through all i see is talent. and i dont have matty's (low low) standards, so thats saying something.

f**kup bitch :whistling: wait till the dinner at the ale house, you'll see my taste has quite improved

what would vs berlina 1996 on gas, lowered, rims, CLEAN be worth?

i dont know alot about commys

dont waste ya time adrian

even with a decent trans cooler the turbo 400 trans is a piece of shit

lowered car will be a piece of shit to tow with too, as the trailer will dump the IRS smack on its arse

get yaself a decent 4wd (yes, you dont wanna spend 9k on a patrol, but you'll probably spend 9k fixing the dunnydore)

either that or get a BA falcon - ideally go a wagon as they're live axle and leaf spring

    • 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.
