Starts with a K :P

Nothing wrong with a bit of limiter once engines warm, though I generally try to avoid it. (on my new car even more so)

DING DING DING DING DING 100 internetz!

Woulda been up for it earlier in the day...need some daytime mountain run.

Good or bad for the engine, I never understood the appeal to limiter bashing. I like to keep going forwards in a progressively faster manner...

Not really lol, I got the price I wanted for it, he can drive it as he pleases. Just wouldn't recommend anyone buying it from him for more than 2k lol

Yeah of course he can drive it how he wants and happy that you got the price for it! But if I built a car up like you did, seeing some dickhead thrash it around, and end up majorly f**king it up would annoy me because of the emotional attachment. I mean you'd probably never know, but you get what I'm saying man.

That's quick! What happened to 12 month wait? Our 18 month wait for 86 has been upgraded to ~6 months too.

Dat extra allocations to Australia ;) Took them long enough. So by the time mine arrives it would have been 8 months wait rather than the original quoted 12 months. If someone were to order now, it wouldn't be nearly as long. I think they realised catering predominantly for the US market and then having cars sitting there unsold wasn't a good thing when demand clearly outweighed supply in places like Australia, even if our market share is so small (I think I read 3%)?

Test driving another one next weekend :)

    • 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.
