hahaha i couldnt tell u how much this made my day... even the MFB were cracking up... my aunty wanted to go down the bottle store about 10 seconds away to get some smokes... we came back and one of the guys said "should have got a couple of cans while ur down there :)"

it was like that for about 2 hours... the amount of water that would have poured out of there over that time which ran down the adjacent street must have been huge!

the amount of people going past tooting and waving was funny as too... we (my uncle ended up coming down and my cousins gf) were pissing ourselves.

definately a good start to the weekend (thursday is my friday :( )

yeah reversed...

some other stupid bitch had parked right up against her car and she couldnt get out properly and tried to back out and go around... those hydrants arent that high and she didnt see it when reversing and ran it over...

not thinking she tried to move forward but luckily for her the force of the water and the hydrant lifted her rear wheels too far off the ground. if she managed to move off she would have died the fire dude said cause the force of the water would have shot right into the powerline above and more than likely caused the wires to break and of course electricute her and take out half of moorabbins power :(

LoL

she is ok then I take it...

that dying part sounds like a long shot though, i mean the pressure on the powerline would have to be enormous to bring the pole / powerline down...anyways, if only you could send it into funniest home videos, or something...

dale - the fire guy said cause it had enough pressure to shot over 30ft in the air... it lifted the car off the ground ;) not the pole but he said it would have severed a line.

ash - u and me both :(

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
