Ok guys and girls, i wanna hear what your girlfriend (or boyfriend) hates about your baby. Because the skyline is such a drivers car, we sometimes forget that we have passengers, until they decided to pipe up and whinge about something.

So everytime my mrs gets in the car she tells me about how stiff my suspension is, that it hurts her neck when i put my foot down.

Also i get numerous thumps from the passanger seat about one thing or another.

I could ramble all day.... :)

Everytime we are running late for an event eg party, pulling out of a side street to beat traffic. The process involves me calmly pulling out, looking in the rear vision mirror to see the traffic "fast" approaching which is wen i boot it & the liner gently squeals its hankooks & ever so gently fishes to the right :)

Then comes the slap on the arm & "idiot, ul get us killed"

Because the skyline is such a drivers car

It is?

Mine gets called a clitoris... cause apparently every c*nts got one :)

Is it because its also hard to find in the forests of Tasmania?

considering how much my gf complains, im surprised she doesnt say much about my car. except that for every anniversary/birthday all i ever ask for is rims (without success so far) and she cracks it lol

my ex loved my r34, the only annoying thing was the alarm, because when i'd leave her house at ungodly hours of the morning, there is no silent unlock

although, she hated r33s lol, she referred to them as "the common one"

I can sympathise with the above.. my wife hates the loud noises, hard suspension, sound of the turbo whirling, her standing on the floor when we go for downhill runs. I find it much more pleasurable to drive the corolla with her around LOL

    • 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?
