Maybe my area is also still 147 (-4c)... Think dad just got home, maybe he saw. *goes to check*.

----------------------------------

In other news, got a grade that was lower than I expected for one of my units. I was certain I should HD it, lols. Email lecturer etc, turns out some error in their spreadsheet wasn't taking into account one of my assignments...

So if I hadn't thought something was odd, and taken initiative, this wouldn't have been fixed, I would've had a lower grade and shit, no-one the wiser... Can not trust the system at all these days...

Well as it turns out, it WAS indeed an HD, so :P

Depends on the subjects. Arts I expect nothing less than HD's, Eng I try to maintain at least D's. So they don't write me off without an interview or something :'(

Yet end up being so lazy in-semester. Every semester will "be different"... but nope hahaha.

I have 16 cent / litre vouchers muhahaha

If anyone in eastern suburbs wants a 10 cent / litre voucher, I have a few of them too.

Yeah i got a 17c one from woolworths the other night. Something is going on.....maybe the supermarket petrol retailers using the price per barrel hike as an opportunity to try squeeze a few more independents with these tasty discount vouchers.

>spends $5 fuel driving to birds for 10c voucher

>saves $3.37 at petrol station

>profit!

Except he lives close enough on the way to places that it's the other way around, at least :P

I think I live slightly closer than from yours even, judging by last time direction when he said he dropped by yours when he dropped off my bike :P

haha was just guessing, no actual math done (slow day too) - then again my car is sitting on 16l/100 i suppose.

I live about 8 minutes from Birds I'd say.. I live in dat dere Wantirna / Knox danger area hence me not owning a skyline

Thinking gym > kebabs tonight..

    • 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?
