i got a HPI R32 GTR :sick:

I got a t-shirt... and that was it :banana:

So I went out and bought myself new parts for my drum kit. Almost spent it on another 12" sub for my car but they didn't have them in stock on the day :sick:

Oh well.. the drum stuff was a good investment. Got heaps of gigs coming up! Which means more $$$ for the car :P

Got 800 cash monies from the parents, hellova lot of chocolates, a silver chain, some shoes a DVD and thats about it this year...

My son got bloody spoilt tho... he should open up his own toy shop, we had to make 2 trips to get his stuff home from my sisters. One of the things my mum got him was this awesome electric ride on motorbike which is absolutely massive, it barely fit in my wagon and is slightly too big for him at the moment. Pretty sure i got a set of building blocks when i was his age... wheres the love!

Mix kids - they always get everything!!!!! both my nephews are going to be spoilt rotten this new years (cos my bros in laws only celebrate new years) - and yes, they are mix kids too (50% sri lankan, 50% serbian)

im a mix kid and i never got this spoilt...

i dunno seems to be a modern thing to spoil the crap out of the kids and not really worry about yourself as an adult... which really im fine with as i cant stand xmas myself.

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
