I got them in a 255/40/R17

2 laps in and they were just spinning in every corner.

that's with 180kw at that!

I'm currently running at about 250-260rwkw with a nice smooth power curve so nothing really comes on too hard too fast, and the car does mostly street driving. I'm really happy with them because of their bang for buck ratio and their cold grip which is where I mostly use them. If I was taking it to the track then I wouldn't be using them, because as you say, they go off after a few hot laps and need to cool down.

They do smoke nicely at deca though ;)

Using the basketball court for a motorkhana circuit instead of the megamini, tyres do not like it very much...

Also, need rear camber arms :/

tried to claim me some centerlink yesterday.

apparently i earn to much or someshit, but every little helps. have to take the visa in and see what they say.

Im pretty sure Centrelink payments are exclusive to GTR owners only now

Sorry brah

nice nankangs bro...My cressy rolls on nankangs :P

My plan was... Nankangs on the 17's for pottering about, Stickies on the 18's for track grip...

Though it seems whenever it goes to DECA or Track the 18's go on, and then don't come back off for street driving because the BBS's look better than the AVS's.

*sigh* so it looks like I need to wait up to 4 weeks before my car is repaired again. The parts have been ordered from Nissan Australia and that's the estimate they gave to the repair shop.

Anyone ordered from Nissan Australia before? How long did it take?

Sounds about right.

Smaller parts will get here sooner.

What happened to the car? What parts take a month to acquire? Gotta be coming from JP at that timespan...

Was involved in a rear end collision. Rear bumper, 2 rear reverse lights, the back panel and a few others I think. Yep they are coming from Japan, I'm hoping it is more like 2 weeks delivery.

In the meantime spend your petrol money on alcohol, hookers, bet on black, buy crack, and moar alcohol

    • 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.
