is...i dunno...a tree...sexing....err...funkymunky?

well when i was pulled over for a breath test (not randomly, they were doing it in a backstreet in the middle of the road on january 1st 2004) after he decided to give me defect for no h pattern and othetr such things he said to me "now you dont look like a hoon, but you are driving a hoonish car" (must of been my sandles, pale hairy legs and unkept hair that saved me)

that pretty much meant, well yeah, we didnt have to pull you over but i mean come one, your driving a skyline, its our government given right

jeeeeeez, you guys are hard on the kid! But so true you are! So I'll add my 2.2cents inc GST.

Doh!...

- Are all cops cops!

- Do all cops suck Steve Brax's co(k

- Are speed cameras really about driver safety & not revenue raising

- Do all dyno's give the same reading

Just incase you haven't got the message, the answer is Yes!

I was wondering if any other Skyline drivers feel that because they drive a Skyline they are more likely to be "cop bait" and recieve just a little more attention from our boys in blue just because of what we drive?  

Thanks

Of course they are, and their reputation with police is largly due to the behavior of many people who drive them in a manor that is entirely inappropriate.

Of course the fact remains if you are a sensible driver and dont set out to attract attention to yourself the police are normally ok.

i think this will differe from state to state.. but definatly in Melbourne, skylines draw attention from cops....

about a week or two after i had my car, i got pulled over around toorak rd... cop had a wrx pulled over was just finishing with him i drove past he caught me and pulled me over... checked over my car, license etc.. pop the bonnet, couldn't find anything, he said that and i quote

"these types of cars you will get pulled over if you come this way on a friday or saturday night" (it was a sunday night anyways)

i think its a bit harsh.... but he wasn't a complete dick to me... but he did have the attitude 'smart ass until proven otherwise' i was polite to him etc.. and he started to not be such a dick to me ....

but he did have the attitude 'smart ass until proven otherwise' i was polite to him etc.. and he started to not be such a dick to me ....

yep same with me, i just acted nice and friendly like the way i am normally (im such a nice guy, dont you want to marry me?) and everytime he pointed out to me something on my car i was "oh no really? oh damn, oh damnit" so he must of simpathised thinking i got my "GTST" a week ago or something (ok so i have had it for over 3 years now and it was a gts back then)

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • 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.
