...and it's still alive :( looks like the guy managed to crack the front bar (who hasn't), but overall just as nice as I remember it. Good to see he's looked after it. Got the NSW plates.

Still even got the stripes.

Haven't seen it for 6 months, was a flashback to see it again!

just thought I'd share a pointless story :)

hehe.. I think he must come up the goldcoast a bit, afterall he did come all the way from woop woop in NSW to buy it.

meh.. r32 will be faster, handle better, and maybe one day look better than the R33 ever did.. I feel it in my bones :cheers:

but it was a spin out to see it.

Faster? Handle better? Than an R33!! Just because they are a little lighter, doesn't mean they are any of the above. What was your time around QR?? And try not to blame the auto......

No offence but have you actually driven an R32?

IMO they absolutely shit all over the R33 in terms of handling...

Own a 33 and have been in both many 33's and 32's over the years. Despite the fact I own a 33 I would be first to admit that I reckon the 32 has a handling advantage. I will endeavour to change this with my new car though :cheers:

R33's dont have the best chassis design for hard driving, its good but not great, the 32 is better again but not perfect...

Your post sounded a little high and mighty, which doesnt make sense seeing 4,000,987,934 people drive 33's :cheers:

    • 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.
