haha made you all look :(

this is just a quick thread because so many people around are quick to speak badly about workshops... this is something GOOD about a workshop

my car may be finalising a sale this weekend, but - as we all know... soon as a car finds out that it's for sale. it will break.

my injector O rings had corroded and decided to leak petrol on the inlet manifold while driving. and when car was off... it flooded the motor with petrol so made it hesitant to start. Pain in the ass. not to meniton how dangerous it is!

i wasn't in any hurry to fix this problem, as i am able to leave the car at home and it's important i am at work at present moment, however pressure was on me as the potential buyer wanted to view car this weekend...

i called andrew @ hyperdrive to see if there was ANY possibility of getitng the repair this week, he politely told me they're fully booked but call back later if there's a cancellation...

to my favour there WAS a cancellation. i got my car repaired the next morning, for a price i'm very happy with, and cos i wasn't able to pick up my car in time they EVEN took my credit details over the phone and let me pick up my Cefiro after hours. my car drives and starts like a dream again

juust a quick KUDOS and a job well done by the team @ Hyperdrive, keep up the good work and the excellent customer service, guys!

Ant at XSpeed tunes my R. It's a safe tune, it could make more but I'm not qualifying for Bathurst. The last thing a tuner wants is a grumpy fark complaining that his dragon blew up and they get the blame. XSpeed could make way more out of me if they put the R on a knife edge but they dont becasue its a long term relationship...pfft I'll put the 2.8 together eventually though :)

    • 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?
