Spotted DJ Hatton cruising through that weird little back alley in manuka, sounded so tough echoing off all those walls....

aaah lol. was that you who kinda stopped and looked down the alley funny like then!?! hehe. yeah my car gets REALLY noisy when its hot for some reason. its been crackling and popping and throwing monster flames that light up the street at night all aver the place recently. totally fulfilling.

Spotted me, family, and mates fighting a massive fire in Yarralumla, just near the brickworks... pretty scary stuff, 4th year in arrow we've had a fire threaten our home at this time of the year..

Suprising part was the news crew got there 10minutes before the firetrucks did.. wasn't as bad as it could of been though, 3 houses caught fire, 1 burnt down.. and a garage lost.

Even had 2 helicopters, one of those skycranes? Except smaller.. and just a regular with a bucket!

Oh damn Dayne, I'm glad you and your family are alright. I knew I could smell fire when I was down at Fyshwick today. Man do I hate that smell now.

On another note, spotted a Series 1 R33 in ford blueprint blue colour in Fyshwick around lunchtime, no wave back. Also a dark blue R33 also in Fyshwick, waved and recieved one back.Also spotted a NSW plated gunmetal grey R32, again no wave recieved back, looked alright tho.

    • 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.
