Awesome, thanks Alex.

 

I do have wheels and motor still to upload, where does the archive end? 2007?

2016 back to 1967, though there's issues missing from the earliest decades here and there

Awesome thread guys! 

Will try and contribute a little with some work resources haha, our Wheels and Motor archive has recently gone public almost all the way back to 1953, all that's available can be viewed online.

Here's November 1990 from Wheels, behind the pits with Skiafe at Bathurst

Unfortunately missing the original July 89' piece where the "Godzilla" moniker was born...

I am glad you are liking it Alex as I am the nutter progressively raiding my archives and scanning anything BNR32 GT-R related so it can be viewed by anyone interested in it!  In your line of work though I reckon you would be well versed on what that entails!

I have the original July 1989 Wheels issue so if not uploaded already it will be soon.  Here is a copy of the cover as a tempter.  :-)59b679df9fe6c_WheelsJuly19891Of3.thumb.jpg.beede6af344a1ca922c9fc9db1d379d5.jpg

I will hopefully upload more in a week or so after my 24 hours of LeMons event this weekend.

Here are some pics from Retro round at Sandown over the weekend.IMG_20170916_133559314_HDR.thumb.jpg.8f8a150015e5487f204d97e624578711.jpgIMG_20170916_134050031_HDR.thumb.jpg.c9a2dc6f38dcf55ca41b989fc62c767a.jpgRGP-2017Wilson-Security-Sandown-500Sat-a49v3241.jpg.9a211c95440552873abd4116deee6b49.jpg

    • 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 👌
