Telstra farking wins. And s3 is a great phone. But is till love my blackberry. Hahaha

I was driving from work to springvale. Basically the monash from the tunnel to blackburn road. the whole time from burnley to blackburn. I had my left knee steering the wheel. Noodle box in one hand and chopsticks in the other. Finished it just before exiting fwy. Like a bawse.

Wow so many people are on bc br's. How much did you guise pay for them? And how do they go?

Oh btw. I has 4 discs nao :D. And red calipers. LOL. Red calipers wasn't my choice. Now to find time to put them in.

By the way. What's the deal with ball joints? Am I able to take the ones in my hubs atm and chuck it in the new hubs? Or will I have to go out and buy new ball joints? :/

im curious if i was driving down the rd and someone jumped out at me and i swerved to avoid killing them and rid off my car would he/she be liable or id just have to cop it for being sane?

Youd get the barriers in your ass and you'd enjoy it coz your a top bloke.

Red calipers +10kWasps brah ;)

My bc br's treating me pretty good thus far I think - I still need to figure out my ideal dampening settings (currently may be a bit too bouncy + some pesky speedbumps at uni cause rear to scrape unless I crawl over) and need to get it aligned again, but besides that I can't really complain about anything, so far so good?

That could be your spring rate adjustment

That could be your spring rate adjustment

to fix adjust preload or something? didn't want to mess with preload and stuff too much, looked okay as is when i put them in. but will have a looksee if messing with dampening settings isn't good enough, cheers brah :)

Yeh your need to adjust the spring rate, having loose springs will cause it to bounce around. Dampening is more so the ridgidity of the shock

Looks like your ready to do some track work brah

coming from the guy that likes his bulggagi touched by his asian lover boy and kidnaps little white girls

just pay for a higher excess and get quote online will prob be like 1000

Excess adjustment makes SFA difference to be honest, not worth raising the excess for.

Awaiting a email from Lumleys, which is underwritten by Wesfarmers which is joint company to Coles Myer apparently I can get staff discount, just need to invensgate further.

Let me know how you find the s3 I really want one but can't afford atm

ERs have the external oil res yeah? is that what's hitting? weird I never had any issues with my BC BRs with 18x10 +15s and 265s on my GTR

yeah external res ones man

though the clearance with the resivour is like 5mm now so happy with that

I would say you should be able to, they should only be bolted or clamped to the strut

Seems to be strange if they were welded etc

they have only a tiny space of movement - i thought it would be possible to atleast turn the res around like 90 degrees or something just to make sure its out of the way.. but doesnt seem so :(

Locked away?! That makes me sad :P

On another note, since when GTR's are at least $2k a year to insure? What a complete joke.

lol it will be out much more now!

yeah i pay like 1.8K (1.6K if i pay all at once but i pay monthly) full comp with just car, never had a claim and im 27 so dont have the higher price people under 25 do.. prices are f**ked..

Good to know this thing will be out and about more often now!

Agreed on insurance prices being proper f**ked up, it was cheaper to insure a 33 GTR when I was 22 year old idiot, I'm 25 now and surely the premiums would be lower no?

Worst case, start looking at other cars that doesn't attract higher premium (domestic market or sedan) *shudder*

Lol my premium went from 1370 to 1970 with no claims at all. And also turned 25 in that time. Since its never driven adjusted the excess and I'm back to 1300

what!? really who with? never heard of it going up with any claims..did you modify your policy? add mods?

    • 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.
