Hmmm, seeing as I think it was 3 days we actually lost, and who knows how many posts went up into the ether.. i decree that henceforce we need to decide upon a name to celebrate the loss of SAU time and data that just "disappeared" in such a tragic loss.. just like 9/11, the titanic...and that time when I dropped a whole 700ml bottle of Vodka, and other great tragedies of our time.

How about "The Big Post Holocaust" or TBPH for short?

Other Suggestions?? :)

I am putting together an international terrorist taskforce to uncover the goings on over the last few days...

We have credible information something extrememly geeky went wrong and many of us were affected...

As a courtesy to the posts lost and their families I ask that respect is shown when talking about this malicious loss...

Should you have any information relating to this unforgivable terrorist act, please call the taskforce.

Well a month called Mercedonius was invented by the romans when they found out that they were loosing time. Mercedonius was about 22 days long and as a result of this they ended up with one year that had 445 days. Later on in medieval times this was reversed as they didn't like the Julian Calendar system, causing many people around the world (bak then) to miss out on 22 days of their lives. farken mercidonius...

Funnily enough the greeks were adament they din wanna change back and they held on to this calendar system till 1923...

I'm now a dribbling mess.

My medical bills are going straight to the SAU admins.

Thats 15 hours of therapy @ 55 p/h inc. gst= $825

Prescriptions for:

Lithium = $85

Zanax = $67

Percodan = $78

Temazapam = $43

Nurofen = $10.45

Not to mention all the calls I made to phone sex lines because I was stressed.

135 calls = $1549.35

5 visits to The Boardroom

5 x 2 hours at $350 p/h = $3500. Hang on, I do that each week anyway so I won't bill SAU for that

Lets see, that all comes to:

$2657.78 in Therapy. anti-depressant phamaceuticals and phone relief.

I'll happily take a cheque.:D

Due to the loss of SAU over the last few days, I (like James) got so much more work done.

I actually left the office on time the last couple days.

I think we should call this time of loss "Productivity" :D

Dammit the thread bout my car is gone :)

So very glad that the short run of 'productivity' is over. I was talking to people, reading the paper - and even leaving the building at lunchtime!

I swear It'll never happen again.

Oh - Leewah, the unfortunate loss of your thread has beed remedied :D

Yeah for sure! I mean I actually had to look at our suppliers web sites and WORK instead or trawling these forums, it was hideous. I mean now I have customers who's jobs were completed over 3 times faster than usual and now I'm going to have them expecting this ALL the time, it's just not on! ROFL!!! :D

while sau was down i had an excuse to waste a few seconds at any time when i was at home, the excuse would simply be, 'ill pop to the comp and see if SAU is back up and running, because they might need help setting it up again'.... hmm, im such an idiot :ZAP::zap::zap::zap:

    • 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.
