Lol those carparks are notorious for car break-ins. Hide yo' skyline, hide yo stagea....

Whenever there is a break in we get to go check it out as part of class.

Although I've never heard of a skyline stolen there

Back in 2009 when I had my first R33, the guys that stole it also stole a white S1 R33 from the CIT car park in Reid earlier the same day, which they were joyriding in at the time of stealing mine.

Alas, mine was put up a gutter and abandoned - though thankfully the white one was recovered at a typical block of flats in Griffith.

Matt black R32 GTST at the Kambah lights (QLD pates) bout 8ish.

Nice U turn at the lights. Wondering if the sound of my lumpy Cams and exhaust concerned you ;)

It "looks" like a GTS-t at the moment :whistling:

Oh and about hour latter I missed spotting Anfannee at the same lights - so the lil bugger phoned me - lulz

Haha that was me in the 32, i didn't even notice your car i was too busy getting lost.

Just moved up from QLD

Were badges involved or baseball bats? ;)

Badges :( which of course means I heard absolutely nothing of the matter once my vehicle was recovered. One of those moments where even though I'm usually the last to rag on the police, all I can say is f**king useless cops.

Welcome to Canberra. :)

Didn't notice :( *deflated*

Friday nights people normally head to Grevillia Park around 9.30pm for a chat

Sometimes like this and sometimes with a black bonnet and wingless.

    • 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.
