Opps sorry,

no I only found what was left of the car, motor/gearbox. and a pile of parts.

The car has alarm, a hidden fuel pump switch, and battery isolated.

Also the car was in locked security yard with 4 infra read cameras,

I guess they didnt realise the cameras were there

Also, I do believe we took out an import specialist stealing gang.

well at least the cops finally caught some of the a$$holes, must have been a pretty serious mob to nab it with all that security.

Not really, doesnt come accross like that when we nab them.

The car was left un attended with all security at spare house back in brisbane, in a decent neighbourhood.

The property is in large and well away nfrom street, and if a thief has all the time in the world, sooner or later they will get it going.

However saying that I only drive that car twice a year, and only drove it the week prior to it getting stolen, so someone must have spotted me, and either followed or when searching the locality. The thieves were aware of the car history and build, somehow.

So, yes. it was targetted and not a random thing.

Ok, I've been out of town and was brief on some recent developement of this event.

Before anyone assume anything, I donot condone violence, or participate in anyway or form at all.

Apparently,

The "mechanic" who stripped the car, had petrol tossed in his face and was set alight.

He now reside in the PA burns unit and is unrecognisable.

I'm pretty sure this is what is "known" as a "screaming candle"

I will keep everyone update as thing progress, but I hope it all history by xmas.

I'm a strong believer of karma

I still remember you Belgarion, been a long time since we last met, how have you been?

Johnny, plenty happen on the night that I didnt tell Vicky, but some funny shit. Well to summarize it up, I've never seen a bunch of criminals who were so happy to see the police. They litterally, ran over to the paddy wagons and lock themselves inside.

And for the record, I didn't lay one finger on them

As for thieves I'm pretty sure they're just as prevalent everywhere. Its just you don't hear about it, that's all.

I'm still surprise that these fellas rolled up to my place, and think they were going to get away with it.

Saying that, I'm wondering what is happening or where is the thief who drove the car out of my yard?

Now I have a dilema of what to do whit a pile of parts and running gear.

Might go put it in some classic convertible, like a 356 speedster or a 190sl.

be interesting with around 600hp atw with one of those.

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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 👌
