I just realized, theres never been any mention of earthquakes in the Japan forum...

Well, the Kansai area and most of western Japan got hit by 2, yes 2 earthquakes tonight:

My area and dare I say Troys area too got hit by a level 3 or 4, while Mie (where I used to live) got hit by a level 5 intensity on the Japanese Omori scale.

What made tonight interesting was that we had 2 quakes, both within 2 hours of each other, both the same intensity, and both lasting at least 15 - 20 seconds (in Hyogo). Usaually a larger one is folowed up by aftershocks of a lower intensity... but then again I'm no goelogist so this might not be so uncommon, I don't know.

Tidal wave warnings are in effect from Tokyo right across to Shikoku, with the main focus on the Mie prefecture area (where the epicenter was, some way off the coast).

Anyways, thats enough action for one night, I'm off to bed.

I was in saitama tonite and felt a very small quake around 6:30pm

They have been happening on and off a fair bit recently in tokyo..

last week i was on the 7th floor at my school and one hit.

Maybe someone should post up some info regarding the great kansai prediction... similar but more power than the Kobe earthquake... that is expected to hit sometime soon. and destroy 6 million out of the 6.6million structures in the area.

Just got woken up by another one... this is getting a little freaky now, as there is a typhoon coming our way later on this afternoon too, and as you can see the epicenter is in almost the exact same place...

This time the highest magnitude was 4 in Mie (again), and we acyually felt a level 3. It only lasted for 5 - 10 seconds, but still, in my time in Japan this is the first time I felt 3 quakes within days of each other... something must be brewing underground?

Damnit... Japan will be destroyed before I get over there. :P
Hehehe, you know, sometimes I think Japanese people want Japan to be destroyed, just so they can start over again...:headspin:

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
