Why does it have such a bad rep???

I mean yes its not everyones cup of tea, the flashiness. (made a word up!) But there are some pretty impressive cars there... Why slag it?

Also why not then put in a few cars dedicated to power and show what real cars have got...

Must say, not surprised at Darren being 2nd post (and the content) :D

I don't have a skyline or show-worthy car. Hopefully those that represented us last year can do good again (even amongst the shit-flinging)

Do you know how hard it was to hold off for that 15 min :blush: Had to be said............

Oh i forgot in my first post, Dont forget to polish up the bling peoples, this includes chrome 20x7 rims, rice lights, love heart shaped exhaust tips, chrome valve caps, etc!!

you have to admit, amongst the boring show cars with revolting body kits :D there are some pretty impressive cars on display.

power/engine wise.

exactly so why dont we be different and try for a mix... few nice horse power and some show.... or try and get a R31 GTS 2 door, 32 GTR, 33 GTR and 34 GTR with nice horse power in a line also?

    • 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.
