Hey Keagle,

Are you the silver skyline that has the big aftermarket bar, I saw leaving AutoBarn the other afternoon? Seem to be seeing a few more skylines around. It might be time to get together to have a chat. Saw a nice Burgundy R33 GTR at AutoBarn a few weeks back but I think the guys at Auto Barn said it was from Innisfail. Also a gunmetal N/A today outside Stockland.

Cheers

Nope thats not me but I know the one you mean... I've seen it outside AutoBarn before. Mine white and the front bar definately ain't that big. Probably haven't seen it... she doesn't get out much as I work a 14/7 roster.

We definately need to get the Cairns people together.

that must of been my bro just crusing around...

cause i was at home surffing sau :rolleyes:

my othre brothers getting his line next week, or week after...

so even more lines in cairns soon :(

Every time I go home I see new lines.

At least they are still pretty rare up here...

What type your bro getting?

its good cause that theirs not many lines up here :)

but theirs more each day,

i've seen a 4 door gun metal one.. had the weirdest rear lights..

seen a bule-greeny one out near smithfield.

R33 Gtst :rofl:

i'll post details when he decides to buy it...

gtr is a bit to much $ at the moment...

but the R33 gtr should come down in price next year as the R35 will most likley come in thats if we can get them in aus.. acording to the new raws,laws we carnt :D

A gtr was a bit much for me too... could have got a loan I spose but I'm stil trying to pay off my hecs debt... no loans till I've paid it off....

New laws steal all the fun *sigh*

Cruise sometime in the new year? I'd say before xmas but I think I'll keep my line off the road during double demerits as much as possible.

Yer...

What about this satday, sunday ? (6th,7th?)

or in new year.... :)

let us know what day what time were to meet ?

also what side of town of cairns do you live on ? (beaches or Forest gardens - white rock side ?) :)

I'd love to go for a cruise this weekend but I'm at work at the moment.... 10 more sleeps to go.

Going to be taking off the front bar and getting it fixed next break (dirt road + pothole = big crack) In the new year however.....

South of white rock but might be moving into town next year... wouldn't mind living in Forest Gradens but have no hope of affording anything. What about you?

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
