as some of you may know, about 3 weeks ago i road off my r33gtst on the gor cruise. :) the time has come and so has the insurance money, to buy another car and am now in a position to buy an r34. Write off was a good excuse to upgrade. :(

Car 2: 99 R34GTT. grey, nismo kit (factory kit) other than that standard.

thanks in advance for some help with my decision.

ive test drove both, exactly the same. the have the same handling setup and sae diff and gear ratios. neither have been molested before by the looks of the interiors and engine bays.

+1 for yellow

every second car on the road is silver and you can always get a kit for it later on

there are a couple yellow 34s in my area and both look pron! eventhough both have chromies...

silver's just too boring.

kthx

EDIT: thats the japcar in fawkner yea? wats the cheapest GTT they got? :(

yeh its jap car in fawkner. i bought my first car off him so went back and hes doing me a good deal. price wise the grey and the yellow are the same, 22k approx wit on roads. so for me its just a colour choice.

My cousins good friend owns Jap car, are you dealing with Dennis?

Some very good cars have come out of that yard, inclduing a GTR that was posted up in the VIC section not to long ago that made close to 300rwkw.

Owner didn't know it had high flow turbos and a chipped ECU, thought it was stock with an exhaust. :(

    • 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.
