LOL at cutlery unification .... at the long-gone "Fairview Park Chinese" shop the old Chinese lady used to always ask when she presented your takeaway meal "You want spork"? And they were sporks too.

Me. I had Pete from PLMS do a quick road tune of my car once he installed the nistune daughterboard. Was good enough to drive home safely but he was quick to stress that a road tune is no substitute for a proper dyno tune

-D

actually a road tune with proper wide band sensor is better than a dyno tune but you have to be able to load the car up

Must be the day for old ladies to occupy all tellers at the bank :)

Another thing I hate ...

When you approach a red light, your lane is free, then a car from the other lane (with multiple cars) at the last minute moves across to get in front of you at the front of the lights. Then when the light goes green, they're the slowest car at the intersection. Why the f**k do they position themselves to pass the car in front of them, then proceed to not pass anything when they have a green light. ;)

And my vote also goes to the f**kwads who drive 60 in a 70 zone (or 50 in a 60), then just as you're about to pass them in another lane, they move over into your lane without indicating. :)

Happens on a daily basis Ruby. I had a moron flash his high beams and lean on the horn at me because I was doing 60 in a 60 zone and changed lanes in front of him while easily 2-3 car lengths in front of him. And he was in the right lane doing a max of 50.

Nearly every morning on the Port River Expressway there's someone doing 70-80 in the 90 zone and yes usually they're also in the right lane. Pretty sure a car got pulled over this afternoon doing about 60 in the 90 zone. Then there's those that change lanes without indicating, slow down at intersections (maybe waiting for a red light...?), those that speed up on yellow signals and run red lights, those that can't drive straight in their own lane and wander into both lanes, use the 3rd lane (the ones that merge into 2) at some intersections and then go slow enough to have to stop and allow traffic to their right pass..... and all because here in Adelaide there's too many fktards allowed on our roads. I could go on....

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
