Now come on Josh, if you stacked your car you might not want to be named and shamed. Glad that the few midnight purple 33 GTR's I know are safe and sound.

Feel bad for the owner and despite all of our speculation we don't know the particulars of the incident. So let's not go all "A Current Affair" on this poor soul. No doubt he's mourning his loss.

My curiosity has me coming back into this thread too, but I do think everyone is entitled to some privacy if they want it.

Tis true.

I'm just a gossipslart.

And this is the only exciting thing going on in my life right now.

My bad.

I'm just curious because it happened just down the road from my place (If I'd gone out 5 minutes earlier to my mums I'd have actually seen it happen), and I saw the aftermath. The picture posted really doesn't do justice how badly bent that car was.

It is possible that its Gtr-400 from Robertson, but he's about 50 years old, and doesn't let anyone drive it, he might drive it once a month

Like I said, I'd know of a GTR in Robertson.

    • 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?
