Murphys Law !

Last friday I missed my alarm, arrived 2hrs late at work (which was still only 6am instead of 4am) and caused a lot of extra mucking around for a few other people. So today I arrived 25mins early to make up for it to find the company I contract for is on strike and get told to do a few things and then go home :) Went and did 2hrs and $100 later i'm back home in bed :)

Friday night:Went out to Kings Cross in Sydney, hooked up with a pomme backpacker, took her home, got my dick wet Sat: dropped chick back to her hostel, worked on my car all sat. Sunday: went to Teriigal for memorial cruise for EVLR34 with about 20 other skylines. All in all a good weekend.

:wassup:

i went to the beach on sat. i decided i didn't wanna go to this party because the people holding it were kinda shifty, i said that "someone will get stabbed or something"

so i stay home and get the news at 2am that a) someone was ****ed up by 5 big dudes with clubs and B) someone left the party and got jumped by people and was now in hospital with broken jaw and bones etc. c) there was a lot of tension at the venue between the asian group and the greek group haha

:(

canterbury... however invites were handed to everyone's brothers mate etc. because it was a money making scheme ($10 entry). so more people = more bad people

the group of guys with bats paid at the door to get in to get to this guy... meh

Hmmm weekends hey, the last time i went out was 3 weeks ago. An that is not by choice!

Several weeks ago i headed down to anglesea for this bush party, it was an all night day thing. So by the end of it i was extremely intoxicated, and rearly wasnt human. I dont remember but was told later, apparently when leaving this party there was a extra person in the car making it 1 to many. Naturally me being the smallest and clearly wasted i was convinced to get into the boot. From there we went back to a person house 20min away, on the way i feel asleep/ passed out or whatever in the boot. once arrived a this place people proceeded to get out of the car and go inside. the boot was poped and i was woken, to also proceed inside. however at this point ive managed get out of the boot an pass out or fall back to sleep only a metre or two away from the car. 10 or so min later this chick and my friend got back into the car decided they would go do some donuts. the chick was driving becan to reverse out in a two point turn, without realizing reverse over me with the back wheels then drove forward wheels going over me again and continued to drive out the driveway unaware of any of that happening. luckily these other two chicks and a mate were on the balcony an notice me just before i got run over, saw the whole thing an were able to call abulance.

I snapped my colar bone, gain a hairline head fracture, spranned ankle and suffered abrasion that the trauma doctors refered to as tyre marks over my face, also abrasion on arms, back, and legs. I got rolled out by the car when it drove forward and rolled down a gravel bank. None the less i am ****ing lucky, to be alive, lucky not to be brain dead. I dont remember much due to being unconscious after,i only know what ive been told and flash points of things that happened that are in my head. I spent 5 days in hospital and have had the last 2 weeks off work.

So thats my last weekend out, but should be right to get back in the swing of things soon.

    • 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.
