I have nothing to back my logic... but I wouldn't imagine the radiation absorbtion of aluminium, steel and glass would be that high...

Personally I think one would have more risk of radiation poisoning from living in a brick house!

Wow... Are you two going to stop eating all foods and drinking all drinks that come from within a certain radius of the plant too??

+1 to this, honestly you probably are already exposed to a decent amount of radiation on a daily basis. Here's a list from what I remember from physics;

The sun

The earth itself

Potassium (You'd be suprised at how much potassium there is in foods)

X-rays

TVs

Certain watches

Smoke detectors

Computers

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one ;))

The likelihood of your car being irradiated is next to none, and even still, the likelihood of you getting sick from said irradiated car is 3/5 of not very much.

Case in point - I wouldnt be too concerned since the chaces are 1:11ty

Well you've clearly had larger doses given your mental state :pirate:

or the fact you will be ...

forever alone

one type gives you cancer... the other type gives you cancer... same same but different

Getting up in the morning gives you cancer.

fk, just breathing gives you cancer these days too.

Atmospheric Nuke testing (you can thank the French for this one ;))

the french only performed 50 atmospheric tests, as opposed to the US's 331 and a similar number from the ol USSR

also the 9 test's in south Australia performed by Britain would probably be a bigger worry for us

lol its not the same type of radiation brah

Both Ionizing Radiation (think uranium) and Non-Ionizing (radio waves) at the most basic form are just energised particles or energy or waves travelling through a medium or space. Both "can" cause cancer brah.

its all over rated with people going into panic mode. i work with radiation both in rocks and with the equipment to measure rocks and deep earth substances and would have no hesitation in buying a car from that area. Small doses of radiation have been thought to be benificial and give you a stronger immune system and fight off cancers that might form in the future.

    • 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.
