Is it just me or do the new members appear dumb these days...

No its not just you. Someones certainly been peeing in the gene pool.

Lads, the law says you cant play with your stuff or you'll go blind.

Just do as they say, we already get pulled over and defected for non-existant bov's why give the cop an excuse to fine you for a fart cannon or a body kit?

Wait til you get off your p's, mature a little and realise that its not all about big rims, loud exhausts and hectic body kits.

if the cops in VIC are anything like the ones in NSW....

do your standard engine internal mods...they wont know shit....but stay away from anything that might make a whole lot of noice or would stand out when they pop the bonnet ie, intake, exhaust etc etc... but skylines tend to get alot of attention from cops....expecialy when you have a P plate on the back

Look, let me say this: The P-plater laws have been around for years and have been tightened up in the last 2. Do your research and you'll find out all the information about these laws.

However, in general, if I was on my P's, I'd avoid doing anything to the car that would attract attention, i.e. adding wings, a big bodykit etc as to the average cop, if your car LOOKS FAST, it probably is and therefore you become a TARGET.

It's like driving around if a BULL'S EYE on the back of your car. I hope this answers your question. Up to you if you want to attract more attention for a Skyline as bad as it is already.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • 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
