I actually have met plenty of tradies in my time (as have most people) and as al said, this would be 80% of them.

I also have a couple of mates that work FIFO in the W.A. mines and guess what...

They are both 101% Strayan

They both drive heavily modified V8 utes

They only holiday in Thailand/Bali where they only eat white people food, get full sleeve tatts and absorb 0% culture.

They rock cheap shit +11ty offset rims

They only drink Australian beer.

They listen to nothing but JJJ all day every day

They watch every sporting event known to man

AND

They get wasted on EVERY... SINGLE... FLIGHT...

This fits most of the FIFOs I've met here in WA to a tee. Groovin The Moo festival was full of them, which is basically a JJJ festival.

So accurate, in fact, that you should consider a career in marketing; a profession that encourages stereotyping. Bloody marketers, stereotyping pigs, all of them!

Girl I know doing life drawing for her hen's tonight... you working?

does the CT9 plug need to be wired in or is their a connector at both ends? If it just plugs in you are welcome to borrow mine for a day.

Also doesn't Scotty have an EVO that he isn't wen driving right now?

found a pink 2004 CS lancer at pick a part

and hey presto, same plug

the plug is part of the main harness - wired in the DSS box and the engine management system, who ever wired these things in will know if you have your seal belt undone

yeah so all good

v happy now

just need to "fit it" so that its in the engine bay

What I think hamish is trying to say is.

80% of fifo's are the stereo type he states.

and 100% of those fifos in his 80% barrier are tradies.

other 20% who dont fall into the stereotype, engineers :P

So, All fifo tradies are what hatish states.

Muahahahahaha

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
