hey there,

I was looking for some help in finding places in sa that sell imports. mum has jumped on the bandwagon and would like to get one :-) So we were wondering if any of you guys new of some places that sell r33s or similar cars. We had a look at redline but thought there might be some more around, I bought mine privately but dad would like to have a good look at what is around. Any help would be apprieciated.

Thanks in advance (i hope some one can help)

is your mum an Italian or Greek maybe Serbian looking lady sorry im not so good on European looking people (knowing Greeks and Italians don't like being mixed up

if shes after 4 doors she can buy mine lol shameless plug

Deffinatly look privately is my opinion, car yards are an absolute rip-off from what I saw when I was in the market a year or two ago. Sure they say they have a warranty but from what I have heard their warranties are generally useless.

One good example, when Aristo's started popping up, some car yards had them for 22,000+ and much lesser quality then the better ones I had seen on j-spec for almost half that.

You could also try Fitzroy Cars in Pooraka. I was fairly impressed with those guys when I bought mine.

Yeah i looked at Fitroy's last year and they have alot of awesome cars... only prob they want like 21g's for a stock S2.

yeh dont go redline, bought my GTR from there and had alot of problems with it since. I'd go synergy (Talk to Kim if ya do, drives a silver V35, very nice. Dont know if he works there but he's there most of the time, can help ya out, or import one if needed) i'd buy one off SAU tho. Good luck with ya purchase :D

    • 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.
