Ok, I'll be waiting for you at Lakeside next saturday.

Hell no, that place is where nice cars go to die.... I refuse to put my car on that track.

But I ripped straight past you around the turns at QR.

Ill fix my battery clamp, then bring it on (for the first two laps then im unable to stop the car lol)

This particular ls1 can corner :P

Yeh I got your back Nick ;) lol

It can corner. Cornered very well after fitting the coilovers. But was a little drunk at the time also.

I don't have your back but captain. Tom is doing a great job of being all over it ;)

Chris, I might have to check out this clay bar of yours that you mentioned.....was just checking out some youtube vids, never used one before.

Its good shit mate. You can borrow mine if you want

Yeh I wouldn't mind trying it out out on a little patch - I take it that you have to use it with a form of liquid polish as a lubricant?

You would be correct sir. I have a detailing spray to use with the clay bar

Nice! Did I ever end up showing you the dents in my bonnet?I dare say that I'm gonna have to get the whole bonnet fixed and resprayed at some stage...it doesn't look like it from a distance but it has at least 5 decent hail stone dents in it and some pretty bad stone chips on the leading edge above the grill =/

Lubricant spray for clay bar? Sawft! Mix some car wash and water in a spray bottle and that will do. ;). Just needs to be a slippery solution.

Yeh it's a type of polishing compound with a wax mixed in...may as well polish/wax it while you're scrubbing away

that's the way we do it at work. The detailing spray came as part of the clay bar kit I purchased, otherwise I would be using car wash

Yeah you have shown me the dents on the bonnet. I'll give you a quick quote now to fix it all. Thousands

Clay strips off all wax and polish. You're essentially waxing and then ripping the wax straight off. Clay takes it back to pure paint.

You are correct sir

    • 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?
