Well we've pretty much told most people so I thought I'd let you guys know as well, you'll end up finding out sooner or later :D My wifes pregnant and we are expecting late feb early march. I wont be selling my car but I will be buying another import, most likely a stagea, probably just a rb25de if they make such a beast. I still hope to get my project finished by the end of the year and maybe next PAS I can join you guys :)

Well I dont think I'd feel safe with the baby in the back of my car, its not exactly a safe car I feel... one slip in the wet. Plus I aint doing my back in getting the child in and out of the back through the front. My wifes nova is getting old in the tooth, coming up to 200,000km's so I figure a stagea is the way to go. I'd love a chaser, but I dont want to spend that much. Hoping to pick up an auto rb25de stagea around $15k complied and landed, with tyres, stamp duty and rego to be paid.

Yeah, Malinda couldnt get a fulltime job with the education dept when we got back from london earlier this year so we started pretty much there after, just before we found out she got a fulltime job for the 2nd semester this year with the option of going on to next year if they liked her... doh :D not to worry, we both wanted a child :)

    • 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.
