Hi all,

last week i picked up my new baby, (R32 GTR) i will be uploading some pics soon.

One thing i have noticed since i got it is the number of idiots that fell the need to ride my arse! this never used to hapen in my old car!

So what i am thinking is, is it the GTR badge on the boot? Im guessing that they just assume that i wanna race them...

Does this hapen to anyone else with GTR's out there?

But i must say that it is very annoying, and one day it will probably turn into road rage!!! :D

Yeah you get f**kers out there that do it.

Their mentality is "oh GTR check it out and see if he wants to race".

Those ppl have no F**king idea cuz they drive shit cars or don't know shit about cars.

If it pisses you off that much, I was told ppl get an Anti Lag system then ya Godzilla will really blow fire! :D

I've noticed this too since buying a skyline. Previous car was a WRX, no one really bothered me, now I get these economy cars up my arse from the lights or they pace next to me wanting to race. Sorry guys not going to waste precious fuel on teaching a lesson to your Mazda 3/Corolla/Crapadore.

tailgaters sh1t me regardless of what car I am driving.

I had this excellent idea - and how good would it be if you could build it.

but basically a small pipe right at the back of your car that releases a really really foul smelling gas/liquid

that would really stick to the tailgaters car- that would get them off pretty damned quick

If its particularly bad tailgating ( and I am doing nothing wrong ) I will tap the brakes and give em a bit of a scare - this results in either them backing off or getting irrationally pissed off hhaha

god I have seen some classic facial expressions in my rear view mirror.

but I mean what does it actually acheive?

on mountsbay road I saw this old and fcking huge F truck right up the arse of a small hatchback - I can tell you right now the hatchback would stop a LOT faster than some old F truck with ancient drum brakes hahah

sounds like a good idea and would not be that hard to do. Just get a generic type windscreen Washer bottle and squirter. and run it under the car with a nozzle facing windscreen height.As for stinky stuff ? God knows what you could use...Stale milk, stale beer....the mind boggles

Ive had to do that too, strangely enough though it happened in my previous car ( Lantra ) havent had any dramas in the Skyline which Im suprised about. Why people must sit on my arse I will never know, dont they realise Im gonna hit the breaks and go slower? LOL

Another solution I was recommended was to carry small bags of 5c pieces (or any other shrapnel you can find, like old nails or something).

If someone tailgates you, speed up. If they decide to speed up too, grab a handful of these coins, pull to the left, and toss the coins out the back. You'd be unsurprised at what driving into small bits of metal at 70km/hr does to the front of a car, and it costs you very little.

It was even better when 1c pieces were in circulation. You could toss a lot of metal out for the cost of a soft serve.

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
