having the 2005 calendar made in feb/march 2005 seems like great idea :confused:

DOH!

forgot about the year being from January to December :D

looks like Ill have to wait till 2006...

So whats happening with this Calendar anyway guys?

...no vic ppl with r32's have the balls to get out on track  ;)
I have some photos of Rowdy's R32 from Sandown, not sure if any are calendar worthy tho... the attached one is probably the best of the bunch but his front bar would need to be "air-brushed" slightly :D

sounds good...lets do lunch....I'll get my people to call your people.....
You have people to liaise with your better half????? COOL!! Perfect marriage.

A bit self serving here but main photo's all of cruises makes little sense. People drive cars in long lines every day, it's called traffic. Maybe use a few as insets or one or two alternatives but Skylines are performance cars, and their place is on a racetrack/dragstrip.

We are a bit blessed in Vic as no other track has the picturesque attributes of Phillip Island with cliffs and ocean in the background :(

All the same this is an awesome idea and whatever the outcome I'll buy one. I also have a couple of pro shots that may be suitably corrected for use and are of the 1.5MB size.

One or two groupshots would look ok, but I prefer to see a nicely photographed car buy itself. Run a comp, where people get to send in pics of there cars, and have a vote on the 12 to get in:D
Great idea. Maybe make it for the main photo and have some insets. I also prefer my cars to be cars, and not props for Barbies.

bah, screw this... I'll start a thread to get some images in...

then touch them up with some photoshop action (not to modify cars, but just to make it look nicer)... probably get justinfox n frinik to help me with that...

then get it printed...

since adz has taken over the anyards I should be free to do this one.

oh and the only reason i have only used those images is because i was just using my images that i have taken(and no vic ppl with r32's have the balls to get out on track  :().  

I did not want to use other peoples images.

James.

When my '32 gets here it will go on the track, just you wait..

    • 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 👌
