Spotted a VERY schmick looking R32 in deep deep blue/purple of some kind on my street this morning. Never seen the car before, someone must be visiting, or maybe a new purchase?? (hope not, wasn't even parked off the street!) Anyway, some nice scenery to start the day :ermm:

God, we're common as muck these days!!: While getting a lift with dad, waiting at some lights behind a blue R32 GTR, a black 4 door R34 being driven by a middle-aged woman pulled into the intersection going the other day, then we followed the R32 to our next intersection, and there was a silver R33 with a black bonnet and GTR wing waiting at the lights, which then passed us as I got dropped off.

Hey wait.. R32, R34, R33... BINGO!!!! :w00t:

Followed a silver R32 out of Queanbeyan last night, think it had decals up the side (Mick?).

Yeah that was me, I saw you too... I was kinda waiting for you to accelerate up on my right so I could say g'day but you stayed behind me th whole way.

P.S. Your driving lights are really bright, you might need to adjust them down a little (or it could have just been cos my car is very low) :w00t:

silver 33 (think it was a gtr, ambulance was blocking the view) on roundabout near fyshwick markets and silver 34 with no wing at the lights near the markets around 3:30pm

2 maroon 33s at the mawson shops area around 4:30pm

there was more but i cant remember details. Did see a pretty TA22 celica but that belongs on another forum :D

oh yah forgot, last wed / thur night at around 9:-10PM had a silver BNR32 with stock wheels (i think) over take me near Oaks Estate power station. Was just after going over the newer (of the two) bridge.

I was whipping through there in a white Corolla, and when it came up, i thought it was a cop so slowed down. Made a chill go up my spine, seeing it in the rear view then over taking.

Nah, you were doing the speed limit, i had no reason to get past you. The decals up the side really suit your car by the way.

I'll take a look at the lights, pretty sure they're ok though but then i'm always the one driving it!

Thanks, I always wanted (since I was about 13) to have an R32 with Nismo 400R style stripes... And now I do. ;)

I think your lights are ok, my car is just much lower than "normal" traffic so its probably just the angle that I was on.

don't worry about your lights, it was probably the reflection from one of the frangipanis on his car :)

You'll take any chance you can get to mention the bloody Franjipani's!!! :D Youre a mean woman...

    • 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 👌
