Yep - those Francaise gendarmes have alerted the Espanol... ah, whatever Spanish police are called... to stop the Gumballers!

http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,405...55E1702,00.html

The Spanish police who, juding from that video of the guy on the motorbike I saw the other day, seem to be fresh out of humor have impounded 20-cars and thrown some of the automotive aristocracy behind bars.

Props though to the guy who travelled 210km in 50 mins :P

The Gumball has an £8000 entry fee (not including car, fuel, tyres, bribes, tolls etc) and last year (in the US) generated nearly $20,000 in fines! Tattslotto - here we come!

yeh teckademics series is pretty cool, i got the Gumball 3000 and Mischeif Destroy Dvd's

They got a new one out from the gumbal in Europe, called Mischeif Invasion

Havent seen it anywhere yet, u can usually get the others at like Jb Hifi

The R33 has said they will put some pics up and the Reyland crew have some footage which I look forward to seeing when they are all fit and well and back in the UK. I have a couple of vids but have posted the link for the biggest one on here.

    • 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?
