hmm.. well the skyline army grows!!

Managed to convince my mate to buy a Skyline, and after looking at crappy old magnas, lancers, etc which really were all pretty bland when he looked at this GTS4 he bought it! Its an RB25DE, but he wasn't really after the extra costs of a turbo. Had all the options, and well when you do the math basically the best featured car for the price really.

1994 R33 GTS4, with 10 stacker CD, manual, and the cleanest interiors i have ever seen! Factory floor mats were like new, and not one scratch on the interior at all.. truly immaculate. Definitely genuine 77,000km. Stock as an absolute rock, as it came in under the new scheme.

Now this is two mates who have bought skylines since i have - haha. My mate in Melb bought a R33 GTR end of last year after going in mine enough times. Guess they know what is the best car for the $$ out there these days :)

now I just got this other mate in melb, who was thinking of getting another car, and has almost being convinced to get a liner too :) although not sure whether he is going to sell his car now :)

Ive got 2 people to buy 33 gtst's :)

Next on the list is a 97-98 GTR for me :) Not for awhile yet tho, and one of my mates will probably buy my gtst, cos i want it looked after, considering all the moolah and time ive spent on her!

Anyways, pred.. Hows dave going with your car?

Any word?

yeh. another to join the ranks of NA.

how many NA's are there in bris?

only ones i know of are John and I...

John is like in another league altogether now...

so ne one else?

I believe u can add genesis to that list aswell

My mate is on the goldcoast.. There would be a few around though, in fact there is a marone one up my road with a kit which i had a chat to recently. He is always driving around, 'nother bloody loud one for n/a too! :)

I reckon the non-turbo is a reasonable option, about $5k cheaper and things. Still a nice car, but only thing lacking is the power mainly. Looks the same after all.

Will be interested to see how my mates handles with the ATESSA GTS4 option. Stagea engine swap is also a possibility to give you a RB25DET 4WD -- but i doubt he will be in for that :)

    • 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. 
    • 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?
