yeah. Its only because you need to have 4 mechanics sent on a special training course and alot of special tools for the gtr, where as the leaf only has 1 or 2 special tools. Theres probably some other stuff i have forgotten, i was told by my boss when i asked about it ages ago. Also for some strange reasons leafs sell better than gtrs here. shitboxes haha

Edited by k_d

$40k to travel a max of 170kms before "power up", and what is the kmph and torque?

never mind discussing the asthetics of this beast ....sheeesh..

oh so pedestrian these vehicles

They should just build travelators for folk who would ever consider buying one of these or other brands of similar vehicles

I pray - Please GOD destroy our world before these proliferate the earth - AMEN

You're looking at it the wrong way.....$3 for a full tank, and quick enough to come 1st and 3rd at the last SAU Texi.

Electric cars are definitely the future, the sooner they release a 000z the better :)

lol I couldn't even get it to Canberra let alone Melbourne.

Anyway, sorry about the OT, I guess my point is I think selling Leafs is a lot smarter than selling GTRs....pretty easy to see which one is going to sell more over the years.

Especially in Canberra! Let's face it, there's a lot of conservative nimbys here!

(not saying you have to be like that to buy a Leaf :P )

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
