haha what the hell were you doing out here 1am on a sunday? Hunting?

Yea if it isnt rabbits, turbo bunnies (first time i saw a hare i couldnt stop laughing, they run along normal but as soon as a dog gets close they hit boost and go from 30km to about 100km in half a second - hence turbo bunnies :)) or kangaroos then its peoples stray dogs, shits me off people dont keep their dogs locked up at night, one night im going to hit one and probably get shot :D

Haha.. just one of them randon drives that end up in random places...

Un(spotted): My silver R33 S2 (YDT...) being at Trojan just short of 2 months now (!!!) :) I know I asked for some parts to be ordered which added another 7-10 days, but far out - two months. :\ Never been this long without the car. I'm wondering if something untoward has happened and they are looking for something similar-looking in Japan to import to give back to me instead :thumbsup:

Anyone been out that way getting serviced and noticed it hanging around?

</RANT> Anyway, I think the guys are doing their best... must just be (VERY) busy, I'm just missing it... ;)

spotted your car yesterday at trojan, i was in there visiting my car. john was working on it on the hoist while i was there. mine has been there over 3 months now heh. was going to be ready early this week but now its had another set back, not their fault... :)

Cool :) I just got mine back today. It's been so long since I've driven it, but the problems it went in with have gone away. So far it drives well!

    • 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.
