Haha if he wants a big laptop, he wants a big laptop.

That said I'm firmly a believer in the desk top at home. Even 2x 24" not really enough screen real estate :P. Would love 2x 27" set up.

On the laptop front, was waiting for Samsung Ativ 9 Plus or Asus Zenbook Infinity; but XPS 12 convertible with 4G i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram, fhd screen is $1599 from Dell atm on sale which is tempting me.

Rip off. I picked mine up with 16gb, ssd + hdd, 765m for $1700.

Much better deal than the dell from what I remember

What you guys are both forgetting is the portability/touch/convertible factor.

Bang for buck, no mistake clevo/metabox offerings from LBO/AL are much more solid, I agree with you guys.

<3 my Samsung 27" PLS 2560x1440 screen

Arguably the best looking 27" out there

Hilarious...

So I'm thinking of going to Mt Donna Buang tomorrow for some snow fun with a friend of mine

Will the GTST on Low Tread / Camber Worn RSR's make it? Diff is nice and tight atm, so won't be single spinning... but would be quite sideways :/

Other option would be to swap to 80-90% Nangkang 17" rims with more wet friendly tyres.

Thoughts? Give up on the skyline for the day and take her car instead?
or my parents liberty (awd)?

Don't want chains for such a little trip, plus not sure if I've got clearance for them

    • 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.
