That's quite funny. I obviously bought my GTR myself, I would it if the force bought me one. I have only been on a couple of SAU event's/cruises and have no intention of fining anyone on them. Would expect that if anyone was driving stupidly the rest of the club/moderators etc would pull them into line pretty quickly.

Have been working and attended to a number of various car club cruises and not fined anyone to date. Have pulled a couple over that I could have even impounded their cars but stern warnings given and pointed out not to behave that way on cruise at it brings whole club under scutiny. That's because I think car clubs for enthusiasts are good thing and most encourage uholding traffic laws and leaving the spirited driving to the track. Without car clubs and track days it would only make more people race around on our roads.

I have been to some club cruises and seen many police act over the top and start hassling everone there which doesn't help anyone. Obviously if someone drives like an idiot they bring the consequences on themselves.

I don't have any issues with carbon bonnets. I Canary vehicles with Bald tyres, faulty/broken lights or indicators, faults with seat belts general obvious safety issues. I known that some will find minor obscure things to canary a vehicle.

At present I am that busy that I only pull over a car if it's committing an offence or driving erratically. I can't even remember when I last just pulled over an import to check it out and have a chat with owner.

The owner might be an idiot driver but if you ask me he is a cool boss. Pulled over the GT3 again tonight and this time it's one of his staff driving. Boss lent him the car to go out on a date. Got to love that in a boss.

omg wheres he work i want a job there... thats awesome.

I think i saw this gt3 today

Was very suprised to see a bright yellow gt3 parked outside the front door of vicroads with 2 different custom number plates on the car?? I never knew this was legal(if it is)

I remembered the thread and waited about 15mins to let him know about this thread lol but he never shown so i thought i would snap a couple pics...

I doubt theres 2 yellow gt3s in the area??

    • 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.
