Apologies for showing enthusiasm re cruise 2nd May. Personally officer Neil can go over my stock 240K with a fine tooth comb if he likes. Hoon drivers, ego trippers and those intolerant of new members not welcome anyway. If your interested in a legal cruise and the opportunity to check out some fine rides then please contact me via PM or reply below. Thank you for the opportunity to organize this on your site.

Regards

Martin

Just to clear up something from my previous post one of you chaps commented on picking on the kid once then let it go, difficult to hear when you are a 42 yo 6'4" bloke. Good idea to meet for dinner and see if the same cheeky attitude is expressed there by some of the more beligerent members who commented. Would prefer R31 or older for this run anyway.

For future reference, please put some thought into your topic titles .... "Intelligent Responses" is not even close to acceptable - make your topic title very pertinent. Everyone (especially me) does not want to have to open your topic to see what it is about. Good luck with your cruise.

And for the record, your car can be 100% legal, yet if officer Neil wants to defect you, rest assured he will. He only has to suspect illegal mods (or any variety of unroadworthiness) and he will send you to Regency, when your slight oil leak at the rear of the engine is noticed, old/worn bushes will fail inspection, suspension components will be scrutinised (and on a 240k almost certainly fail in some respect).

Mate, if your shouting, I'm there!!

Welcome aboard Marty.

It is good to have someone showing enthusiasm, especially for the older rides. I would bring out my R31 GTS2 however I will be away that weekend.

Bear with us initially while you discover our forum etiquette... we do get a lot of toolbags (especially in school holidays) trying to arrange fully sick cruises etc.

And this is why our defect/roadworthy inspection system is up the shit. Too much faith in police discretion.

Thanks gents thats much more civil, have posted this cruise on Ozdat for sure. My vision was for Datsuns/ Nissans from the early 60's to current models to take part in this cruise as an exhibition of old school to current technology. If newish Nissan owners are only interested in cannonball runs and are rightly worried about being targeted by the cops then thats fair enough, I'm sure theres plenty of other cruises to suit that can be organised in stealth. Hopefully if the boys in blue are reading this they'll take into account the legal framework thats being applied to this cruise and show some encouragement for some enthusiasts enjoying themselves in a legal manner. My 240K won't be doing any burnouts as all it does is fry the clutch with hardly any wheelspin- not that I've ever tried it, sort of. Anyway I probably havn't given enough notice for there to be the numbers I would like. Unless I can get a lot more committed yeses its looking like I'll pull it.. so to speak.

    • 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 👌
