Sigh, forced to take 12 days of annual leave from the 22nd to the 12th of Jan because not going well / no work around.

know that forced leave feel.

but boss doesnt keep track of how much I have accumulated, sooo... he'd probably be nice enough to allow me 3 weeks without much questions

Well I'm forced to take one of those weeks unpaid, because I'd go -22 hours otherwise, and f**k that if i want to go away anywhere next year would be too hard and have no leave. A bit annoying, but I'll try to enjoy the time off and go upto Bright with the family/friends anyway probably.

Definitely. I don't believe in hurting the people that cared about the idiot. It's not thier fault and they have lost a mate no matter how much of a scumbag he is was

This, which is the reason I'm not on the VicPol FB saying he deserved it.

But I do wish it was more widely reported as stolen rather than credited as his bike, cause that seems to have been largely swept under the rug and family/friends certainly won't make mention of that. Very surprised the media missed that or police neglected to mention - their page is littered with reports of stolen vehicles involved in crashes or other crimes.

Perhaps when it's a fatality they figure it's a small detail?

I'd say a relevant detail given bike was being ridden with no number plates and speed was clearly a factor in the accident. Poor woman driving is being discredited/FBshamed by all these motorcyclists for being a shit driver when it's obvious he was speeding on a bike that wasn't his to begin with.

What if it was a stolen exotic car? Ultimate media dilemma.

Asshole arrogant rich man doing 280 crashes and dies

Or

Thief stole some rich mans exotic car and then died from a lethal amount of hooning

Yeah I'm not disagreeing just offering a suggestion as to why they left out that detail

Think they left it out because the journos would have asked for a few details at the scene and cops neglected to mention it was stolen / hadn't established it at the time. I'm just surprised they haven't updated the report. But at the same time, a motorcyclist dying doesn't constitute coverage these days, which is pretty sad, both because of the media's attitude and that it is so common..the latter probably causing the former. We'd rather here about the freak death of a cricketer who turns out was every Australian's best friend, that I'd never heard of prior to his death.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?

    • 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 👌
