ben, loan's are shit.........the best way to do it was what i did. I just worked my absolute ass off for 6 months and i saved about 7k.

You need alot of self control though, i quit spending money on takeaway food, cut down on smokes and didnt go out wasting it on alcohol etc it really pays off

i think loans are ok.. they build a credit history for buying things later in life..

i used to disapprove heavily of loans too.. but then i got one, paid that off, have paid a good chuck of the R33 off, and its been fun for me. In the end, even on a $20k loan, you pay around $4k interest. That sounds like a lot, but over time you don't really notice it. At the end, as long as the car doesn't depreciate massively, you still have a reasonable asset to sell off.

mj: and i still waste my money on fast food, alchohol, and the occassional smoke :(

i found i was getting dodgy at saving anyhow. Once i was really good, but then i moved out of home it was all over :( but a loan is something you always *have* to pay off each fortnight, no two ways about it, rather than saying "ok, i will save this $200 rather than spend it".

DEpends how good your financial management is i guess, but i know mine wavers..

    • 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?
