i had to watch my baby drive off into the night :D

shes gone.... GONE!!

oh well... at least i will get to see it being driven how it was meant to be driven and not to some wanker to use as a street cruiser...

Good Luck JT and all the best in the future here in Aust'

Should be good to stir up some good healthy competition.

well... plans so far are for something cheap and nasty i can reg and prac in that i wont worry too much about.

either a cheap s13 with a CA or SR or a ceffy/laurel

unless a nice chaser or markII pops up at the time im ready to bring one in...

all the suspension will be swapped over... there wont be ONE std arm, brace, rod or bar :D

no real performance mods other than exhaust, pod and boost.

then once i start getting better... i'll bring something real pretty in :)

Nark,

Sorry to hear mate.......Guess I was one of the lucky ones (with Krzysiu) who actually had a ride in this beast :D

Oh well....stash the funds somewhere it'll grow and spend the spoils on the next import!

yeah id love that but theyre not easy to find or to find panel parts for... thats the main attraction (even tho i hate them and think theyre ugly) to silvias... parts are cheap and abundant and i dont care if i hit it into a wall... theres no point me getting a nice car again while im learning to drift.

chasers and stuff come later when i have less chance of slamming it into a wall :D

    • 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?
