Let's try to breathe some life back into this forum shall we? if you're reading this post, post up at least the last one of two shots you've take or uploaded. Even if they're not really relevant to cars or what's going on. Share and chat! Let's do it!


I've been away for a while, but I'm back now! Got hitched at the start of May (thanks to Gav for the awesome photos ;) )

Afterwards, we hit up Europe for a few weeks :) Well I'm home now. I'll be running through the euro shots and sharing whenever I'm bored. Here's the first few :)

Sure easy for you to say, Mr EuroTrip. :nyaanyaa: Nice Pics.

Hmmm... to contrast your beauty shots, here's a little guy I found when working on my resurrected 20 year old Project car from the US. taken with my crapy old iPhail.

180fan good pic. Lower the ISO though.

another recent pic

Yeah I had it up way too high, I haven't really taken many nighttime photo's before so was just playing around with settings as much as anything else. At least I know for next time

Heres another

Car looks great. But (and i feel like an arse giving you two lots of negative feedback)

- The focus filter you're applying. I have never ever seen it look good on anything. It just leaves me with a headache from my eyes trying to focus.

haha its all good man, at this point im just messing around with different things, seeing what works and what doesnt, so any feedback is welcome

The main reason I used that filter is because its one that I have seen a youtube tutorial for previously, so I knew how to do it :laugh:

    • 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.
