It sure does look like his plates.

Yes it is Stephen, Hes ok but the poor car is not. The other guy was in the left lane and just came across into steve's lane, some how with out even seeing him, putting Steve into the fence.

Steve will be on at a later date with updates lol, He thought it would be funny if someone from here spotted him.

Regards

Good to see your ok.. Bad to see what happened to your car due to someone elses incompetence.. Hope everything else works out good for you!! Since that will surely be a write off are you gonna still be looking for an M35 as replacement?? Or something else??

Still deciding, but I scoured sum sites last night and there is some nice m35s around atm. Plus I have a spare ecu, tv decoder, rear sunroof rubber etc. Driving anything else especially Australian made now would surely feel second rate.

Will take some more pics of the car this afternoon, can't bare to look at the poor girl atm, especially from front or side on. She still has a nice ass tho! That isn't bent and twisted.

Glad to hear youre okay mate. Totally sucks balls about your car though ;) Loved that colour, I was contemplating flying over to checkout the car before you bought it way back when :)

did the other guy stop ?

Yeah, it was an honest mistake and he was quiet devastated. All details were exchanged and when the police turned up statements were taken.

Will put some more pics up tonight or tomorrow. The damage is worse than I initially thought. I even found that there are two long pieces of metal fence wedged underneath.

    • 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.
