FFFUUU!

also, jizzy, bright fucking qualified audio engineer you are putting a $2000+ precision audio system in a car that's subject to road traffic noise, tyre noise, vibrations, interior rattles, engine noise, electrical feedback and poor staging. I bet you also try to find virgins in a whorehouse.

$4000+ actually :thumbsup: And I don't really listen to it properly while driving, only when the car is off.

While driving it's just ambient noise really. Sometimes I'll crank it to a ridiculous level if the gearbox whine is shitting me.

Really gotta fix that soon.

you listen to music in a car while it's off? wtf.

don't you get out and go wherever you're going? I'm sure you have a soundproofed room in your house to enjoy your tunes in rather than in the car?

I spend a lot of time just sitting in my car. It's like my little sanctuary :thumbsup:

But nah, most nights I'll go park at the beach with a chick friend, chill, listen to some tunes or watch a movie etc.

It's especially good in summer with the targas off.

And no, I can't do it at home. My bedroom is extremely small, crammed full of double bed and audio gear goodness :D

No soundproofing and my 2 younger brothers are in the rooms backing onto mine, meaning no noise after 7pm (homework / bed time)

So yeah, the car is great in that aspect. Just need to upgrade my battery.

or get comfortable with f**king in public places.

car is my sanctuary GTFO. lol. for srs?

Since when did I mention f*cking? :/ I will happily do that in my own bed.

And yes I'm serious. I'd sleep in my car if I could. I love it to bits.

really? you just listen to tunes and watch a movie in a car with a girl at the beach?

sleep in your car? wtf? don't you own an MR2? you can hardly sit in those things, let alone sleep.

Yeah, I did last night. Was pretty chill.

Besides, I have a girlfriend for all that kinky shit.

That's why I said "IF I could" :/

Passenger seat removed, you could. The footwells are pretty long. Replace the rear storage box with a pillow and you'd be sweet.

That's what I'd do if my parents kicked me out right now :) Cost effective living.

    • 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.
