Hi Batman,

Yes, I know it's says Brisbane under my name, but I'll be a Perth local around June. My work has brought me over and I'm looking forward to it, oh and I'm 32

So, I'm interested in what car clubs are active in Perth, where do you guys drift(I mean legally) and how often to tracks days(short sprints motorkhana'setc ) come around??

Look forward to meeting you guys

Well the age group is broader than I thought. It's actually surprised me given the cost of running one of beasts with insurance, price of after-market parts and fuel economy but I suppose if you love the marque then you're prepared to pay the price. (sorry for going a little OT).  

Regards, Batman

21st is a big deal better get planning ;)

Mine is on the 4th of october. I am going to have a party at my house. Ive actually been thinking about renting a place with a pool. but if i dont get a house with a pool by then im going to get a blow up one. I found a few houses a few suburbs away for cheeper rent with air con and a pool, lifes unfair! I went to a 21st not long ago and she had slushy machines with ****tails in them... it was great.. $250/night i think it was but worth it :D

    • 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.
