i buy an Evo 4 or 5 here and live here for a year and bring it back... or maybe a mitsi GTO TT which are rediculously cheap here... my dad had one with about 200kw at the wheels and a porsche gearbox and wheels and all the options and he got it for 16k... they sell stockish in aussie for like 30k+

ahhhhh skylines are soooooo cheap in nz :)

i wouldn't touch GTOs in aus. they are expensive to buy then expensive to service. but over there... sooooo cheap, maybe different ;)

enjoy NZ, i did. lots of adventure stuff to do there. i: rockclimbed x2, abseiled x2, jetboated, surfed (or tried), sandboarded, white water rafted x 3, concrete toboganed, caved (caving), hiked, canoed and jumped off trees hanging over rivers many times. fun times. i would have bungee jumped but i was too light at the time which meant i wouldn't bounce :) i watched a fat kid bungee jump and he totally keeeeled his lower back but he sure did bounce hehe.

ouch.... the GTR Shop is just a 10 min drive from my dads house here in in trentham.... if its under 20kgs i could bring i back in my baggage :)

Thanks mate but I think we are going to claim under her insurance. Would you believe she pushed my car (which was in the garage) back about 2 feet into some shelving, pushed the front end in about 2 inches and not a scratch on the E46 BMW 3 series?!!?!!?

lol mate i wish... its still in tokyo but will be here soon as the import approval is almost complete and theyre getting it on a ship this week i think gareth said.

i need to hurry up and sort out the rest of my finances super quick... typical of me... i leave everything to the last minute but the car i was selling (the daewoo) has clapped out just before i was about to get rid of it so its delayed the funds a little to complete the process...

It wont happen over night..... but it will happen.

Dude, could u get me a CD? it's an NZ artist called Brooke Fraser. Her CD comes out here July 11, but i can't wait that long. She's like X2 Platinum/Platnium (sp?) over there, but no one knows her here (except for those that went to the John Mayer concerts, she was the support act)

Brooke Fraser - What to do with daylight

I'm gonna put my molly meldrum hat on and say this girl will be big here :cheers:

    • 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.
