Spotted the lime green 32 with black bonnet yesterday arvo on the Monaro between Canberra ave and Hindmarsh.

Also spotted what I think was Tom's brother's widebody s15 this morning on Hindmarsh coming up to the Canberra ave traffic lights (can't remember username of the owner :P)

EDIT: Veilwest?

Spotted a yellow 33 on gas camped out next to me at Woden plaza. Neat looking rig.

Drove past your work again today 4pm, no Stagea :(

Also, would you believe I work in the suburb but until last week had no idea there was that new road that goes up from near the Monaro to join Gladstone Street? lol

So, again I spotted the black R35 GTR in my street. But there is a bit of a story this time.

SO LETTUCE BEGIN, I spotted this black R35 GTR pulling into my street as I was starting my car up - I wasted no time in getting Rosie's phat ass on the road to finally find out where this guy lives. I fenged it down the road on a cold engine (Sorry Rosie - but sometimes you gotta take one for the team) and chucked a hard left (Where the GTR went) as I was prowling the street I notice this blue looking car which looks similar to Rosie (Slightly) as I drive by I notice that it's a R34 GTR bayside blue sitting on the edge of the road facing me, as I take a deep breath and slowly passing by I notice the R34 GTR's window is down with someone in it, I look at him like some kid in a toy shop, mouth wide open and eyes glued (Sorry kids in front of me, but I was willing to either hit you or hit the curb - my eyes weren't going off this baby), as I looked stunned - the owner of the R34 GTR looks straight at me and gave me a nod; as I attempt to do a "cool guy" nod I realised that my neck was so stiff from keeping eyes on this car...that I almost hit my forehead on the steering wheel in attempt to send the nod that I received back in respect. So after making a fool of myself I carry on looking for this black R35 GTR that prowls my street. I chuck a few turns and lost the bad boy, assuming it was garaged before I could get a glimpse. As I was exiting a side street I finally drive pass the R35 GTR with 2 asian looking fellas standing behind it.. eyes once again glued on the GTRs of the world - I look at this black ass in amazement as I get stared down from the two owners. No time to pay my respect with a nod or wave, I simply stared ever so rudely, but I didn't care, it was a R35 GTR. As I was rolling passed the R35, I noticed the R34 GTR right in front of me, I find out exactly where this R35 GTR lives and chucked a right with a gear snap to show these GTR owners I am of honour to own a Skyline, as I go to change gear again.... I crunched..........

NOOOOO - I'm now in hiding.

    • 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.
