Thought after last nights meeting and mentioned to Luke, both of us are interested. Between us, he is a qualified mechanic with access to workshop/hoist and I should be able to do the admin stuff and put a decent review together from his dot points. :)

Ok I'll have some spare time the next week so I will be creating a new section of the forum.

Anyone that has expressed interest thus far will be given access to this section (it will be private).

Then we can start discussions with the aim to launch sometime in Q1 2012 :)

Oh, and you guys will all get a cute like "Review Team" bar under your names :thumbsup:

Ash,

I'm keen.

Happy to do some reviews.

Unfortunately I can only comment on 'upgrades' to an M35 Stagea and a Datsun 1600 which I am about to upgrade a few engine components.

I can comment on generic oil/intercooers/seat belts/ Race seats/ engine air-fuel meters etc. and generic components which can be used on either etc.

Let me know if you want some engineering input.

I can comment on reviews and if the component/modification may affect whether the car requires an engineering cert (to remain legal in Victoria. Other states I have NFI!)

I can also comment if the review requires more testing/ statistical data, or more appropriate information to justify certain claims.

I bought some off the shelf chassis stiffening to play and test with during this summer break. I also have some other simple "modifications" to do which aren't so much products but really things to do with your car.

I am a Experimental Physics student so understand high quality quantifiable data - my R33 GTS-T is my experiment. I was planning measure quantifiable data when doing all my modifications over the summer anyway and I would very much enjoy being able share that knowledge with the public.

Will you enable LaTeX support in this section of the forum? :thumbsup:

:cheers:

The entirely new Review Section (it's a new forum) is live for those who've shot some interest in area's of this etc.

I'll let you boys work out where it is... If you can't work it out then I am deeply worried haha :nyaanyaa:

Of course - could always do with more people. If you want in, let us know :thumbsup:

    • 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.
