I found the police officers opinion on car crushing the most interesting.

We really need a drag strip here in SA with a reasonable entry charge so those that do street race realise how crappy it is when you can't really give it all she has without fear of being busted or some one pulling out in front.

I have seen this report before, one of the better "hoon" stories ACA has done.

For ones they are looking at the other end of the spectrum.

Also who the f*ck was that b*tch on the radio talking about crushing the "hotted up do-b do-b mobile" She should get her car crushed for one.

good to hear the other side for a change.

but 10 f6's at 70k each and their only getting 1-2 cars a month? is it me or does othes think that money could be spent else where? somewhere where it's needed maybe?

cops need to make other people know that their there, not hide to try and blend in to catch people in the act. stop the act before it happens!

i could go on and on but its not like it really matters. nice find either way.

ive been defected out the front of mallala once along with 60 or so other cars that day. all i was going to do was watch some decent drifting.

i understand that if your car is illegaly modded then cop it sweet but noone knows what illegal or not anymore. people are being f**ked over for the sake of it and being sent to regency because of the car they drive.

im waiting for the day that we get pulled over towing the drift car on the back so they can defect it :down:

People do speed to and from Mallala so why defect stations, this only prevents people from attending such events and keeps it ON the street.

Spend the $$ on increasing the number of speed camera's or laser guns.

I too have seen the defect stations but then carried on to see a lack of speed laser/camera's with some overtaking at crazy speeds.

Modifying will never be stopped so why not try to stop the behaviour on the street and encourage 'hoons' to take it to the track.

yeah thats the key......needing a drag strip is no brainer, it goes without saying but just you wait and see, if and when we finally get one, 17 year olds will have to sell their mum's on the street to be able to afford entry just so the strip can be paid off pronto......some of these kids with turbo cars can barely afford the petty to drive out there let alone a ridiculous entry fee......they'll continue to abuse Adelaide streets and only the true cashed up petrol-heads will pay the entry fee.........I'm generalizing of course but keeping it real nonetheless.

Good find btw Joel.

i vote SLED contacts aca adelaide and organises an interview, pledge exactly what he just said above,

and make sure they learn the difference between an enthusiast and a hoon ffs.

pfft why?

SLED drives a burnside bus now!

ror

-D

that's a low blow Ben............it's kinda like my GTR.....twin snails, 4WD, 3" zorst, Bilstein suspension, 6 speed, slammed....to the carport ceiling. :)

Yeah but it still gets no respect from me mate :)

You want me to respect an off road vehicle? Buy a unimog you softcock!

:blink:

I ran this idea past some people months ago, but there was no interest in it.

An interesting find tho.

    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
