Hey guys/girls

This is for my cousin. He has a Silvia s13 which he’s been doing a manual conversion into and dropping a black top also. The car has been in the carport however he does not have a full roller door enclosure one. Any way he has been working on it for the last couple of weeks. On the 31st of Saturday approximately 1am-3am the car windows were smashed and the stereo, the bucket seats and also $400.00 of tools where all stolen. It would have to be someone in the area close by to know what he had in the car and that he had the tools in the car also.

I put this up on sky aus. Just if you guys see or hear anything about it please let me know. The suburb my cousin lives in is Atwell,6164. I’ve seen some skyline drivers around that area if so, please keep a look out if you could.

Thank you very much

also here is a pic of the bucket seat

Oh my god, these guys actually went and broke into someone else's car? The cops were everywhere because these bastards tried to steal my skyline, smashed in window and all at 11:50ish. I called the cops back into the suburb twice but they obviously didn't come back! How messed up!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! I messaged skyryan to warn him, if only I had everyone's numbers! :thumbsup:

by the way I highly doubt they knew what was in the car cos boy were they wasting their time trying to break into mine - stock stereo, stock seats, practically stock car. All I've got is a smashed window that now I've got to replace and hide my damn car in the mean time so the bastards don't come back!

Also I'm the other side of bushes right near the shops of lydon. I can't believe they hung around for so long after whatever they were trying to do with mine. If only the cops came back when I called them at 1am hey this might have been avoided.....

and one last thing............ I called the police and asked why the hell they didn’t come back out when I called them at 1:10am when the kids were outside our house in the bushes (opposite Lydon Blvd and the shops) and they said because it wasn’t priority that no one went for a drive by until 3am in the mean time they went and broke into the other guys car and that’s just bad luck apparently.

That sucks so much. They could have arrested the kids for damaging my car and had them pay for damages and would have prevented them from breaking into the other guys car??? What the hell!!!!

My boyfriend can identify the pricks as he saw them three times that night after my car got smashed into but this won't go any further of coarse now would it? They'd just deny the whole thing???

p.s.s. these kids were like 15 - 17 yrs old, they weren't old enough to even own cars!!!! Grr this makes me so mad!!!

    • 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.
