Dear jerk off(s)

who stole my front badge & snapped the keyhole one (on the boot) off thanx for making my nite! No longer is my Skyline one of the cleanest+tidiest examples around but rather damaged goods, violated & just not the same. If only I had the chance to walk out whilst u were doing the deed, idv had my way with u & not in a sexual way. Wat idv done to u, Australia definitly WOULD NOT be saying sorry...

PS After my cry any ideas where i can purchase sum replacement badges guys lol seriously :thumbsup:

Pretty sure the key badge cover & the lock barrel is one unit so, you'll have to swap the whole barrel over into the new one.

i gota car toys 1 for 20bucks the red looks the same as the day i got it.

ive only used the high pressure car wash hoses a few times on it though. usually do my car washing at home

bastards left a major scratch on my baby when they took mine, musta used a screwdriver or something.

when i was at nissan they qouted me 140 for a new 1 to which i was not too fond of, they said most of it was the shipping cost. but maybe they give different answers each day of the week with exchange rates ;)

my bros in japan at the moment so would anyone know where to get 1 near osaka?

o and i heard a few of the f*k wit lil 10yr olds at salisbury north skate park talking bout how they take badges from cars while i was sk8ing there. apparently your a big man if you've taken a bunch of em, i quickly let them know my disaproval for their bull sh*t and sent them home crying to mum

    • 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.
