Christ...Ash, is that dyno figure for real? Or was it the sort of dyno that would of even given me a figure to be proud of:)

hard to say man.

leewah made similar numbers again, although the cars seemed to be on "average" a little higher.

Anyone who was in the SAU stand at MAS......when packing up...did anyone happen to find a Nikon AA battery changer plugged into the powerboards with the TV's and PS2's???

im pretty sure i threw a white battery charger in james' car when we packed up for presentations - i was told it was ron's (a guess i think) - instead it was probably yours - shoot james a PM to see if it was still in his front seat

nah no idea, when i came back the game was still going

but cd tray open, tape ripped off and no gt4. also a guy at work saw the pics from autosalon and happens to know adam. his name is jimmy k and he knows you from gym

My garage door broke this morning with Golgo trapped inside :(

Hopefully it will be fixed in the next day or so - will look for stuff (batt charger etc) in my car.

Hasn't been a good week thus far...

Greg: Don't worry - will replace the GT4 disc for you.

James, so it hasnt been a good week? Thats punishment from God for not having the handlebars! haha Get cracking...start cultivating it...massage it, put hair tonic on it, and sing to it every night before bed. I assure you with lots of love an patience it will come about nicely! HAHA

yeah thats him, jimmy m sorry not k. yeah he knows your and your sister

he saw you in the photos and goes i know that guy (to someone else who was looking at the pics). then he comes into today and goes i didnt know you knew adam k and im like um i didnt know you knew him either. haha very bizzare

Yeah - laugh it up.

I've got to be at work at 5.00am tomorrow - with Golgo and my bike in the garage, and the Niva having a busted motor... I'm not overly thrilled.

At least he's safe from theft - if I can't get in, no-one can get in :(

Basically the cable connecting the handle to the locking bars on the side has snapped - so the bars are locked in position. F*ck knows how the fixit guy will open it... just so long as he does it soon.

Time to move...

    • 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.
