Yeah my old mans mate from work has the GTR its owned by Jason Dann and apparantly has Motec engine management and a fair few other mods and has been detuned to 500 HP.

Everyday street spec.

After riding in Jim Richards' porsche from Targa this year it should be a good comparison.

Can't wait Lavers

My first experience in a gtr was quite the opposite and sort of anti-climax. I found out later the car was a dud. My next ride in another mates GTR was very exciting for a fairly stock car. I've driven both 996 & 993 twin turbo's, and honestly the GTR "with mods" kills them both, performance wise. Luxury is another story, porsches have a unique handling characteristic to any other car, so does the GTR and you realise the GTR is what it is, not just for it's straightline performance but it's cornering ability and most of all reputaion and $ for $ value.

and the noise they make, is just totally amazing.. take damo's with the twin apexi mufflers, sounds awesome, and they have this sorta gear meshing noise (hard to describe) which makes them sound more like a race car with a dog box, than ya mums shopping trolley

Yeah this is the St. Pats ball. The GTR is a white R33 and the guy who owns it also owns the restuarant Peckish out near Meadow Mews, looks the Goods. Who's this Damien who has a gtr I've ever seen him around before, any pics.

Cheers Lavers.

That GTR is from Burnie, used to belong to the owner of AJL mechanical services. Rumoured to be pushing round 500HP.

The GTR was absolutely awesome. Just the feel of the turbo kicking in a 4000 rpm and pushing u into the seat was amazing. Jason was a top bloke gave it everything a couple of times even did a launch at 6000 rpm. I didn't get to see Pauls line but apparantly you put on a good show at the lights. The guy who sat in the back of your car was absolutely sh1tt1n himself, calling the craziest mutha F***a he has ever met. Apart from that the ball was average and couldn't go to the after ball because of the rain.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      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?

      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.
