Spotted Bill back on deck after 2+ weeks dealing with freeeekin Pneumonia, only drove the ol' girl (the car) twice in that time.

Took her for a spin today to catch up with a friend (yes I do have one, but that's about it!) ... and

Spotted a black 34 in a carpark over Weston Creek way along with a 'mint' kinda green 33 in the same carpark.

Very nice to see you all again :action-smiley-069:

Hi Jeremy .... It wasn't me? I did do a little running around today!!

Well, you would've seen me for sure as when I passed the white R34 GTT it was single lane traffic over a bridge crossing a lake (Gunnerz) around 2pm'ish. No idea where you live so not sure if you live around that area.

A bit before 3pm today a black S2 R33 turning off Canberra Ave into Newcastle > Fyshwick. I didn't see a lot of it but looked very straight, I'm guessing paint not original and had led tail/brake lights, I'm not usually into those but this looked ok.

Whoever you are, nice car from the little I saw :thumbsup:

hmmm No idea. I'm pretty sure it was a coupe. Had red P plates if that means anything.

Got Periods

Yep to the P's with a chick driver, if it's a 4 door I seem to see it a lot including having a loo break at Braidwood a couple of weeks ago.

    • 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?
