Many of my mates have worse records than that. Drink driving, speeding, loss of license, blah blah blah. Some of them are only 21/22. Nothing out of the ordinary these days with everything going on.

do they have there licenses now??? Second loss of license is ment to be a 3 year suspension... I got away on a technicality.

Have you learnt your lesson?

Yes Ive Learnt my lesson...

Getting parts from Nissan as new is just cruel :) He is paying for them, I have a lot of respect for him for that knowing the stories I have been told of people just not coughing up or waiting months and months for repayment. Besides, the bumper and bonnet were already aftermarket. It does help our best mate is a panel beater. He will do the spray for the cost of the paint.

ouch that looks almost as bad as mine...:)....good to hear that you have learnt your lesson mate....but drifting or trying to drift on public roads is just asking for trouble mate.....take it to the track and then drift or else drive it like a granny on the roads and be safe.....these things are fun to drive and have but they can also become a weapon within seconds :D

Just like to add that I wasn't driving :) Just to refresh your memory. Even he was driving sensibly but we were out at Mt Craford and it was wet. Think he just under estimated the power.

Anyone else coming down to help fix it on Saturday? I know Steve will be there. Along with the bloke who crashed it.

Yes.

One mate lost his license (P1's), continued to drive around, got caught 5 times at random times, got suspended for another year, still drove around and now he's back on his P1's until he's 25 (just turned 23).

On top of that, he's been done for speeding, running red lights, talking on the phone, running from a bretho, changing drivers in front of a bretho, driving unlicensed and driving an unregistered car.

Makes me angry how he got away with all of this and still gets to drive... Even driving while under suspension. Yet I get done in the back seat of a car with no seatbelt on and get hit with 3 points (even though I wasn't driving).

We all learn our lesson eventually.

Yes.

Not wearing a seatbelt! How hard is it! :) More importantly, tell your mate to get some better tint! If a cop noticed you didnt have a seatbelt on, He really must have some clean glass.

I hate getting done for stupid stuff

    • 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.
