I wasnt going to tell you all...


Recommended Posts

yeah, the GTI180 is nice.. about the only small car i would ever consider i think..

Fuel consumption though is pretty high: 11.8 ??

Thats only a few less than my R33 :D seriously!

you'd still be better off with the liberty I reckon.. bigger engine, same or better fuel economy, more room, probably better resale value..

Go a S15. The insurance wont be as much as ur R32.

I dont understand why ur getting a new car just so u can pay $1k a year less insurance? Say u have the car for 5 years than get ur GTR, you've saved $5k on insurance but have to pay a shitload of interest and have a massive loan.

And you wont be able to last the warranty period without modding it.

Oh yes you will, you wont be able to afford mods with the big loan repayments. :(

My 2c

buy a new corolla,

deal with it for however long, and invest the other money.

sell the corolla and get a GTR.

you shouldn't lose to much on the car and its not like you wouldn't find a buyer for a 3-5yr old corolla.

hopefully you could make a bit of money on the other money to buy the gtr.

    • 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 👌
