Yes, its doing nothing, but gathering dust and rust.

Cant find my camera cord to show you, but it is the one you gave me.

I wasnt using it, or planning to, so i dont need a replacement.

Ill drop it off, good excuse for a drive.

Went out to the cotter and Brindabella rd the other day, nice drive.

I wonder if roads are bumpier than they used to be or if its just me. Because i find going fast is not good at all, but 20 years ago i could go WAY faster and not feel like im about to be thrown off the road.

And i dont think its my car as ive had far worse shtboxes going faster than the Skyline.

Ps..... dropped it off. ;) I forgot which one, but the blonde told me. :yes:

Went for a drive, my car is fun to drive now.

Saw a bunch of guys on minibikes cruising down Belconnen way. I noticed they were all very nice looking bikes, ( original Honda's ) and the riders had good riding gear they obviously use for their big bikes. The cop in the paddy wagon didnt notice or know about real legit minibikes, because as soon as he saw them he put the siren on and went after them.

They would all be registered etc, these things are a rarity and im very surprised to see such a large group.

Awesome little things, it easy to see why they have cult status:

Has anyone checked out Power Kart Raceway in Fyshwick yet? Pretty cool place and the karts are pretty quick.

Anyway they're planning on running a racing league fortnightly Wednesdays starting 15th of October.

Anyone who might be interested they have some details on a Facebook event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1467986283466197/

I'm planning on running it. Trying to get word out :)

I was blown away by the size of some things. Huge jars of Jam etc and Marshmallows that would Fill a Coffee Cup.

The Bulk buy factor is the main issue as the initial cost is a bit off putting but in the grand scheme it seems economical. (aside from the $60 yearly fee)

eg. Twin pack of Mocconna 400g jars of Coffee for $35 work out cheaper than when on special at Woolies individually but it's alot straight up.

Walking round snacking on Demo foods is cool though and a Hotdog and refillable drink for $1.99 is a Bargain. :D

Not likely to signup anytime soon though. (we went with friends who are already members)

The sweets section is pretty full on, and it is nice to have a 2 month supply of toilet paper, if you have the storage space.

There are some good things like the terry towels and microfibre cloth in the auto section. Good for detailing, theres always a clean rag handy.

But for me, not having to go shopping as often is the best part.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
