Spotted JD this morning in the V Spec... You drove past me but don't think you recognized the new daily driver.

I thought that was you in the white sedan and was nearly going to lean on the horn, but there was a commodore between us which may have been a bogan transporter, so I didn't. :P

So, what is this new beast? I didn't get a good look.

Spotted 2 guys on the manaro heading fyshwick way, one in a white commo ute, and the other was some chrysler suv thing, seemed like they were racing.... they were weaving in and of cars and using the side walls, was crazy, they were prob going over 150 in the 80 zone. Very fishy.....

Haha, i did notice the possible bogan transporter... You would have been stuck at the lights with them getting out of the car.....

The new beast is a '93 Subaru Liberty Heritage Auto.. Ruff on the outside but drives smooth as. I needed something that would allow me to park in Civic and manuka without worry of theft etc.. As in, I'd still be highly concerned about it being taken, but its better it than the 33.

wtf when I'm not in the 33, I see heaps of other skylines, but once I sit inside her, no1 is around to be seen >.<

Mustn't see others/be seen when I'm in my own little world...hahaha considering how often I'm on my way to Fyshwick every morning.

Haha that's what happens to me too. The audi gets spotted much more between here and CC than the GTR does :)

haha, what kinda wheels u got?

They looked like some kind of 5 spoke chromes from the distance I was at, assumed it may have been u coz I can't think of anyone else with a white 33, other than Reece (not turismo)

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