Couple of days ago, i was driving to my girlfriends and i went the back way, springvale road was busy as hell

Anyway, turning onto the back road...i see a station wagon turning right a few cars in front of me.... IT WAS MY CAR. Identical, white, no spoiler, std kit etc, couldnt see the wheels (they were spinning)

I wanted to catch up the guy, but i had to turn off before i could... but it was soooo soo odd seeing myself a few cars infront.

The stageas are coming out now. There are about 6-7 differnt ones that i know of (but still, 7/lets say 500,000 cars is not much)

There is one in Newcastle. someone jsut bought it from the sketchys't caryard around but i looked at the car while it was there... seemed in good nick. Tried to catch him for a race in mum's 9-5 aero saab yesterday but there was to many cars between us lol. thought it might be a close race, was intrested to see how it would turn out. Will have to track it down in mum's car again (would use my car but don't want to embarres him... its only stock)

I've been comin here for a while, and have only jus decided to look in this section.

I think by the description of the caryard u would be talkin bout mine :P

I've put the Blitz NURspec 3" cat back exhaust back on, which was on the car when it came over, and a turbosmart boost controller runnin 10psi.

Have more upgrades planned when the funds are available.

They obviously have not seen any of the ghost rider dvd's :D

GHOSTRIDER 1, 2 OR 3? Now guys, if you havent seen it, thats some awesome viewing! Volvo's have no chance, as proven by an insane maniac on a GSX1000R!

Spotted; 100metres from my garage with my stagea parked in it, a silver Stagea with personalised plates.

Out of the less-than-a-dozen Stageas that live in Adelaide, 2 live within 100m from each other!! Now THATS small town syndrom at its best!

Ghost Rider 4 is where it's at :D

Spotted S1 97 RSFour+S in my driveway this morning ;)

GhostRider 4 - relase date unknown.....

Hhhhhm, nasty stuff. I once tried some of his highspeed antics on my Fireblade, almost clipped a tray top at 200+ whilst 'undertaking' and decided that it wasnt for me!

As for my post b4, out of 1million residents in Adelaide, 2 out of less than 10 Stageas in Adelaide live within 100metres of each other. Now THATS wierd.

    • 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 👌
