What if I don't like it though!!!....only kidding done. :P

A while ago, I think he was saying he was going to sell his Stagea.

He also copped a fair bit of heat after criticising Spoolin about his springs, add to that his youtube Skyline burnout fiasco, and after that he was pretty scarce.

So, in two minds about my car..

I love my Stagea, its a great car, fuel efficiency is not great for something I drive to the city daily, That's the only thing that bugs me..

I have bought a few parts, but I don't really have much spare time, so things are kinda stacking up, I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending a little bit of money on the car,

on things like R33 GTR box, Replaceing the Diff's, shafts etc, doing the manual swap, and getting the suspension and wheels, and some seats, and minor engine mods sorted out

(say, front mount, fuel pump, boost controller etc..)

Or, what I was thinking also, just get some springs (maybe shocks if i don't skimp too hard), just some new wheels, and get my 964 a bit sooner..

Or, but a cheaper car (like a EK or something, and get my 964 way, way sooner.)

The only thing being, i mainly use my Stagea's space to transport my Kart, so i would need to get roof racks on the econobox..)

What would you do?

Get Busy on the Stagea,

Keep it (Just wheels and springs and brakes)

or Get economical..

Thanks lads!!

I would like to say go to town on the stagea, but i know what its like trying to save for other stuff to, especially since i don't earn anything that u could even remotely compare to a small fortune so i'm gonna have to say go with option 2 'Keep it (just wheels and springs and brakes)'

Maybe just start a new thread titled: "How to Get Rid of Your Moustache, Using the Cleansing Medium of Fire... ":whistling:

Works on several levels...

trust me ide be getting rid of more than that.. im seriously just getting pissed off now, ive had the turbo out three times, and i have to take it out again.

i meant the general chat thread as this one is about oil :)

yeh done.

that was our latest stagea cruise, not a bad turnout.

the chick is Kahli?? she's on here but hangs around the sa section and type Vu is the other half of the custom imports combo, he's the camera man, direcetor, editor, fluffer, etc :thumbsup:

ok i think you misunderstood me, i dont care about anything or anyone else in that video except for the girl!

kidding! looks like it was a good turnout for the stagea meet, next time we have one we should do video too! and maybe have it during daylight hours

    • 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.
