Been patiently waiting for you to organize another run but I can't make it now.

Old girl is out with a busted turbo/manifold gasket. Sounds like I got a screamer on boost :D

Shit no good bro, what's the plans now then Just fix it and get it back on the road? :(

This weather has made it hard to do a run. Water is over the road in places on our usual haunts. Dude that sucks, lucky it's only a gasket and not something worse

gah. happened to me a couple months ago as well, but mine sounded more like a grain truck than a screamer :'(

Yer water on the way down blanchview isn't going to end well for us rwd dwellers lol. Worse ones are the little streams that always seem to run across the road on the apex of the turn, scary stuff.

More details on said car?

Will have my Gtr on the rd with everyone in a few weeks hopefully basically bought it got ripped off but stuck with it I gutted the interior got new carpet just waiting for my seats from being reupholstered the wiring was rooted basically learned to fix it all myself just little bits and peices left and will be ready to drive. Its a white 32 Gtr with the plates GZill4... Hope no one thinks the plates are shit lol only ones that weren't taken which were the best I could think of haha

Yeah can't wait. It was rough when I got it but ive fixed it up as I can when I can. Can't wait to bring it out

Hey man :)

Keen to see your car man, hopefully we'll have a cruise/lunch organised once the weather clears up :)

Will be good to see another white 32 GTR getting around. Also good to see that you have stuck with it, when these cars are running properly they are a ton of fun, when broken not so much.

Welcome dude and hopefully you can get along to one of our runs when this weather clears up

Keen as to

Go for a cruise meet some new people let everyone know when she's ready

Do you get many from toowoomba going on day cruises etc? When are they usually

The regular cruises consist of (the regulars) Chris, Tom, Nick, Myself and Clinton + about 2 or so that turn up once and never come back lol

And we'll usually do them on a Saturday, or a Sunday if Mondays a public holiday

    • 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.
