Some of you may know I have the R up for sale and recently I stuck an FS sticker on the rear windscreen.

Ever since doing that I have had a lot of "performance" cars try and run me... not that I bite :( Notably an RX8, EVO7, Subbi Liberty, New WRX and a Corolla I think. I just like roundabouts as I power through them and the morons then speed passed me like some f*kn grinning hero who has to prove himself :)

Must be the season for try hard wannabe's or they are just trying to get my number down, who knows

:);)

I don't understand it really, I even have time to indicate out of the roundabouts. The cars in question are no match for a GTR, the drivers are dreaming.

If I can pass this car on with the dignity I retain as a member of this vibrant community then I have done myself proud as a Skyline owner.

Can I get a Ahem, heh, I think so

:P

its just the dicks up ur way, i was up that way friday arvo and was continuely harrassed by ppl to race,

some hero in a gold v6 auto gas powered VL with sick rims tried to get me to have a go for ages and some clown in a stock last model WRX also raced up behind me then next to me, this is really the first time i have experianced ppl trying to race me for a very long time, i aint got no GTR but my car would still easily smoke both these, luckily i have matured alittle over the last couple of years, other wise it would have been game on.

some times its just not worht the petrol.

aww man, serious convo, I was troll hunting :banana:

Oh well, SV6 powwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr

I need to race now, all antsy after the F1, I am so awesome it hurts :P

Ve sv6 methanol drinking twin turbo, on NOS! will destroy you all!

nah seriously its my drive car for work and its slow, and the only thing it has going for it is the fact it has better aerodynamics due to the hail storm.. BUT i reckon id still chop everyone in this thread in it! i know GTR's and their all slow and cant handle and stuff..

Yeh it's Funny and Entertaining to see other People drag in u a Skyline... I just let them go if they try to..

I kinda think about the other Drivers on the Road.. I had New Ford Turbo 6.. Sped up n on my ass coming on the the freeway..

i didn't do anything i just moved to the other lane n continued as normal :-) but when i'm on the Track on a Track Day it's a different Story :D

haha look forward to it.. surely your referring to my sv6 work vehicle haha:)

na theres 50 billion identical ones of them around, impossible to tell who it is. meant if i see your gtr

the best is when your in a really slow car and you try race faster cars, people usually get really serious about it, its hilarious

hahah yeah im hearin ya.. if im drivin a shitter (sv6 for example) i love given it a rev at the lights to "G" some hero next to me up, and then watch him drop it at the lights and chuckle to myself as i cruise slower than normal :)

lol

me and a mate were on our way to barbagello drifts just today. this legitimate bogan looking lunatic probably in his 40's, in a stock vt v6 ute sped up beside us and said the following

"HEY MAN I GOT ONE OF THOSE.. 720 BRAKE HORSE POWER..." (was in an r33 gts-t)

"oh yeah? you going to the drifts?"

"NAH MATE...IIH#$UOGHOFU&*($... THIS IS MY RALLY CAR"

gives us a wave and then floors it, gets ahead of us probably at around 70-80kmh. before i know it his car is sideways, fishtailing about 4-5 times, manages to regain control and speeds off.

far out couldnt stop laughing, was one of the funniest encounters ive had.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
