sunshine is great imho its the best around not sure of the address but its just near the tattoo shop/old ford holden shob on the HWY opposite side to Hyperdome/Fitzys Go over the overpass from fitzys(bryants road) turn right at the new round about and its like 50m down street on right

sunshine is complete self service at night - 3 manual wash bays one automatic, vending machines, coin machine, 4 vacumes, 1 tap

they charge $3 to chamois the car dry during the day!

you used to be able to do this sequence on the buttons (presoak>foambrush>presoak>presoak>presoak) and get 5 min free car wash - they worked out someone leaked the code and changed it!

I work for a Sunshine Auto wash (not logan but I know the guy) but i dont car about ppl useing buckets and that just as long as u dont piss fart around like ppl when its busy. As for the foam brush I use them all the time when I wash my car and its never scrached my car as longs as they have good amount of car and u rinses them I rinse mine ever hour if possible. as for the hose they should be soft rubber but that not always the case. I recomend holding bout 2inchs and then going from there

I always take a bucket with me, but I'm quick at washing my car as well, much quicker than people bashing at their car with the broom lol

The way to fill your bucket is put the sponge in first, then put the pressure sprayer hard into the sponge.....the water just permates through the sponge without blowing everything away. Make sure you use the hot soap setting :thanks:

Wouldnt that screw your sponge though after a while :S

Can we not wash our own cars at home anymore???

Even if its on our lawn and on certain allowed days?

Or is it completely banned now?

Dont quote me. But I think its just buckets, filled directly from the tap. Technically you cant even use a high pressure cleaner with its sucker hose in the bucket.

Double check it tho, as that might have been level 4.

And before anyone complains toowoombas level 5 its illegal to lay new turf. Our level 5 is near on pointless.

Yeah you can still wash it with the bucket, but not for long, level 6 is just around the corner and that's a whole new ball park.

Its a total ban on washing cars in Brisbane with level 5 dude....u can only clean mirrors, headlights and windscreens...

Sorry yeah thats it.

Its something stupid. Like lights, wing mirrors, front and rear windscreens. And front door windows. But not the rears. But you have your bucket of water anyway...

do what im doin and bypass the whole water ban crap and move south of the border!! i used to wash my car everytime i stayed over at sals mums place but now that im saving for my holiday back to ireland were moving there until i go so i can wash my car everyday if i want, with a hose!!! (cept for big water bills which i dnt wana pay lol) no fines as theres no restrictions and its only 5mins over the border!!! hahahahaha pwned

    • 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?
