I've been passenger in one and I thought the engine was really refined and produced good power all the way to redline (I guess I gave the car the benefit of the doubt being an NA V6). Just a quality car allround, although the one I was in was standard factory 350GT Coupe Premium. Hell I'd get one if I had the spare cash.

I did 6k miles in a NA 350GT. Power delivery and performance was on a par with a BM 330i so I had no complaints. I don't know what state of tune the Impul is but what I can tell you is that when I fitted a £3300. procharger my 350GT put down 327rwhp. I posted a vid some where of a 0-60mph time of 4.7secs. So for near half the cost I could give an M3 a good slap.

ooooooo wheres the vid!!?? :D

i cant speak from experience, but everywhere i have read (except from the first post), the performance was said to be good. (engine is the vq30dd yes?)

the car was supposed to be a refined, classy car so you shouldnt have got your hopes up too high before stepping into one.

    • 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?
