Cruises are few and far between but do happen from time to time. (mostly just general slackness and laziness) :D

Every Friday Night around 9-9:30pm there is a meet up at Grevillea park, always someone there but not always in a Skyline.

There's a few regular things that run such as Shannons Wheels (was on today and is yearly) as well as Shannons Coffee and Cars which is on every few months and really seems to be picking up.

Aside from the local stuff which is a bit ad hoc, you'll notice a few of us are SAU NSW members and we do have pretty regular events and meet ups. There's a list of upcoming events in the NSW section but this ranges from track days to informational tech nights etc.

Ahh. Forum and club membership aren't the same thing. There's a bunch of things not available to non club members.

What i was getting at is things are a bit quiet down here, we still mix a lot with NSW to get out and about.

Welcome buddy!

Used to live in Crestwood until mid last year myself, and now I'm living smack bang in the middle of the golf course. If I see you around I'll be sure to flail wildly out the window! hahaha keep your eyes out for the retard in the white Golf R :)

    • 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?
