hope it wasn't the yellow supra i see around town - i've always thought it was kinda nice to look at in a ricey sort of way. too huge a body kit for my taste, but quite striking.

spotted a white r33 with DTS written down the side tonight at blockbuster woden. not sure if he's a local coz he started going out the 'in' lane from hindmarsh drive.

not a skyline, but last night i spotted a yellow supra mount a gutter and then get stuck on the median strip between the servo and shops at kaleen, took them about 45 mins to figure out how to get it off there, the body kit didnt look too good after

sounds like the yellow non turbo one with the veilside kit i see frequently at ANU. P plater non turbo, driven by an international student guy

yeh, a wee bit too much rice for my liking

I think everyone knows that supra... I see it all the time. From a distance it looked allright. Get up close and it looks pretty average (lots of cracks and scrapes all over the place)... Beaching it probably hasn't helped it any either :

Spotted Thursday morn': a de-winged R32 with a "work-in-progress" vented bonnet heading towards Queanbo' on Lanyon Drive. Looked like the car will turn out nice! Also spotted this morning one of the angriest sounding R31's I've ever seen at Macca's in Fyshwick about 8.30. Black 2 door;anyone on here(jeez,I hope so)?!?

There's a guy with a black 2 door 31 that works at Domayne in Fyshwick, perhaps that's the one you saw.

You want an angry 31 Jayce, keep a keen lookout for a gunmetal Aussie 4 door that has a habit of getting sideways under boost (Frink, Bullet31 and Stinkypoo know which car I'm talking about)

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
