Yay for beer + scotch.

lol Up late and on the piss, I was too, Jim Beam & guitar for me tho last night!

I'm not too far from Talgai St :(

There's a few Skylines around Bracken Ridge actually, don't really know any of them tho :happy:

Spose heading out on a cruise could change that

I hate to admit it, but if you see the white 33 with black duct tape on the front spoiler ... yeah ... that's me ... hahaha <hides the shame>

I hear good things about duct tape dont be ashamed...couldnt you find any white tape to make it blend in tho? :(

I'll keep an eye out for you, but my car is getting to know the garage better for a while, while i've got a company falcadore to use for a bit.

So now driving my R34 on the weekends feels like driving a supercar after driving the boat / falcadore all week lol

Lol most probably, I'm over that way all the time, your car actually does seem pretty damn familier, as I tend to check out LED tail lights more then the norm =P.

Have just under 4.5k coming towards me in the coming weeks, anyone know of a good brissie place to get a new front spoiler? Haha, I was thinking about hitting up AutoJap but I have a feeling I would get ripped-the-f**k-off. They just seem that way to me =P, sorry to anyone that works there, hahaha.

You want a genuine one? "Nismo style" front bars for a 33 go for a reasonable price on just jap, take a look ay. Im looking for a genuine replacement for the bottom part of my front bar, too many scuffs from my stupid raised garage entarnce :P

Reviving this thread, I'm on the Redcliffe Penninsula, Keen to take out the Ceffy and meet the fellow like minded locals. It's sitting in the garage gathering dust eager for me to earn more cash for it to eat :sick:

There are a few more of us up around mango hill, redcliffe area. Tried to organise something a while ago but every place suggested was bagged!

So where do you guys think? There is a big carpark at baskin's aspley, or somewhere down at redcliffe?

LOL... Where's Asply? wait i'll google it..

Aspley is about ten minutes north-west from banyo.

Donna - once my car is registered I'll be up for a north side meet or two. Aspley Baskins isn't a bad idea. There's also Nandos at Carseldine now, and they have a big carpark. Can also keep an eye on the cars there.

I'll think about where else northside would be good. Could even do a Sandgate fish and chips night :banana: it'd look pretty cool with all the skylines parked along the waterfront :)

Where in Townsville? I was in West End for a while, then Kelso.

Kirwan LOL

I lived there for 19+ yrs Cant stand it anymore lol. Have to go back for Chrismas..Im deading the weather and the bogans lol. Last Christmas I was driving around in Dads patrol ute with the aircon cranked haha.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
