ok so i went to pick my car from the impound today and to my surprise the car was running. when the car was impounded before it went on the tow truck i put a 2000rpm limiter on the car through the handset removed the handset from the car unpluged the the microtech and x6 box and hid the wiring under the carpet also removed the battery isolaler switch and hid it in the boot. so my question was " how did you get the car runing" cops "we didnt touch it it came like this" at the end of the day what can i do. the cops are f**ked. but at lease they cleaned it

Man i totally agree! I had my car go to police impound years ago. Came back without a headunit. I had removed all other items so it was the only thing that was still in there.

Thats crazy they got your car running though!!! Complimentary free police tune maybe? :laugh:

"Cops" only do the paperwork and confiscate the car. It is towed by tow companies and stored by private contractors. They detail the stuff about he car before it gets taken away an thats the last they ever see of it. Hrdly their fault. You might want to take it up with other people.

Except for the cars that are held in the actual police impound lots...

I was just going off his location of Northen Beaches.

Yes country imounds are different.

yeah, NFI how Sydney impounds work...

Wollongong has 2 impounds that I know of (One for each LAC) and they're both full... So now they take them to the owners house park it on the front lawn and wheel clamp them... Public humiliation...

The impound in which my vehicle was held in the police impound located in enfield. Its also the same place where the cops fit out their cars with sirens, radios etc. VERY police controlled but they do have civilian workers aswell. Its on the same lot as a vehicle auction place. Pickles maybe. Cant remember. I'd imagine one of the civilian workers pinched my headunit. I just find it unbelievable that it can happen in a police impound. But they are above the law.

About as far as police control went was the managers looking after the vehicle fitouts. As stated. The towing and storage of the cars is purely private sector. Police were there from 9-5 and then it is anyones guess. It was never police property.

    • 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 👌
