Two problems with that idea ... I was on foot and I wasn't in a 33 4 door, I may have had a chance with one of those beasts! :rolleyes:

haha yea that whole being on foot part would be a problem ! I don't know about you but every chick I know loves the 2 doors :)

now I think about that its probably because I own a 2 door, and their all like yea lets make him feel good ;) and the age my mates are their thinking about looks, not practicality, its very hard to take 3-4 people in a coupe, id love to see 5 in mine! might end up with the stanced look :P

Mate you need to get advice from Rob about the 4 handles ... oops, door thing, amazing stuff about his 'Line and a young lady and I believe the word 'moistened' was used. Almost made me go out and get a couple more doors and head straight to Woolies!! .... you will need to have an ale and a chat with Rob mate. :rolleyes:

(BTW thanks for the compliment Andrew -- :thumbsup: )

Yep sounds like my signature these days stem seals are gonesky. Thought it was running rich but my tuner verified it would be black smoke not blueish white smoke seems to happen on decel and start up so definitely sounds like a stem seal.

Expensive or easy fix?

Not Excatly easy gotta remove a number of things to get to them. Can do it one day. cylinder head off job. Or cheap out and use a compressor to shut the valves.Not sure if you can reuse the blue gates timing belts again. Less than 20000kms since last change but I probably buy another. So it's just the valve seals,cam seals and timing belt.

That doesn't sound too bad.... we saw it and just thought "uh oh, that doesn't look good!!!"

We were at the car wash near the roundabout and it looked like a guy parked on the side of the road was even trying to say something to you when you were stuck in traffic near us.

    • 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?
