I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this is outdated, but I've logged on so many times and seen the silhouette of the R34 taillights and yet, all the hype, recent talk and factual eventuality of the R35 got me to thinking - that and I've driven both and i have to wonder personally - would SAU be better off changing or at least updating the site with the latest car on the banner?

I believe its time for the banner to change.

The R34 has to go... well, its tail lights at least.

The R35 is the logical successor and i don't believe i will hear many arguments against this point of view - definitely not from any SAU member worth a grain of GTR salt thats for sure.

So...

Let's put this to a vote, shall we?

R35 ftw.

*edit*

Good point Adam, but no.

I like the banner, from a bias POV, but on a general note the R34 is more 'representative' of this forum.

The R35 is still new, only a few of us have seen it (but yes it's beautiful), the hype is 98% media-based marketing and has hit many a nail on the head for Nissan.

Also, the ratio of forum subsriber ownership of the R35 compared to the Skylines would be like putting a hair (from the scalp you dirty buggers) on a meat pie and saying "ok, that's how many of us own R35's".

One last note. How could you put an R35, the Sydney skyline (no pun intended) and the bridge together in one shot, when it hasn't officially been 'brought over' yet? You might call it pioneering, or vision.

I call it premature ejaculation.

Omar, dude, its the way the car is heading - so why not change the flag to set the tone?

It doesn't matter if it hasn't "arrived yet" - there are plenty of R35's in Oz right now.

I think the banner should change simply because the R34 is old hat compared to the R35, fundamentally and technologically.

Simple as that.

yes, i would like to avoid the flames comparing R34 to R35..

Its simple, fundamental Darwinistic evolution to me...

I think the site should roll with that as well...

Its only a matter of time anyway, really.

If it were me, i would want the latest and greatest technological flagship as a banner for my site if the mains of it all were centered around a Nissan and with no disrespect to the R34 in this discussion, it just doesn't cut the mustard when compared to the R35.

I would like to see the R32 R33 and R34 on it!

haha... as they are the most famous of the skylines right? :P

R32 is the Godzilla... the R33, is the most popular and the R34 gets alot of media attention.

the current R34 was never put in the banner cos it was the newest model skyline.... it was just put there cos the designer had the shot and thought it looked pretty lol.... we don't have to have the "best" model there imo, just as long as we have a banner that looks cool :P

I love the look of the banner now. I don't mind at all if it stays.

However, if it were to change, despite the fact that i'm a 34 fan, a banner with all series of skylines on the banner i think would look pretty cool also...and yes, why not even the 35 included? May as well...skyline or not...i still feel like it belongs in the family :(

    • 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.
