*THIS IS MELLY - being lazy again*

Fail! I ALWAYS get pulled over, i've been pulled over about 10 times in the last 12 months. I've been pulled over a couple of times in one day a few times.

Maybe its because you car looks... unfinished. Also the bright paint probably doesn't help.

I've been pulled over once for an RBT an I was the 4th car in a line of 6 so I doubt I was targeted. And before anyone feels the need to say "why would the cops want to pull over a Camry/Magna/Avalon" it would probably be because it has a loud exhaust, big shiney wheels and at the time it was extreemly low (exhaust was about 4cm off the ground)

i've been getting pulled over since before it looked "unfinished" since I got it I have always been pulled over (except when in Gtown where all the police had all seen my car up close because of dads old job anyway) I was pulled over more before it was "unfinished" I just still get pulled over alot. Plus you can't see the front bar from behind anyway. Not that I care about being pulled over except it being a waste of my time, I can't get defected, all they found to defect me for last time was my window not going down and I hadn't rewired my front bar indicators. But thats fixed so there is nothing. All mods are engineered and the rest is stock as a rock.

Didnt you car have giant 20inch chromies on it before it looked "unfinished"? If i was a copper I would pull someone over for having 20inch rims as you can pretty much garantee they are illegal

IMHO, (IMHO = In My Honest Opinion... for those of you that don't know) on the whole there are more unroad-worthy modified holdens/fords out there than there are skylines/supras etc

Anytime i have had to deal with the police has been a pleasure in the act. The thing with Canberra is its small if you have a good record are polite tell them what they want, chances are you wont be harassed regardless of the car you drive/where you drive/what ever time. on the flip side if you have a bad record are arrogant drive something that screams defect me then they will be on you like bears are to picnic baskets and every cop will know you.

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
