It is a very strange use of the word help isn't it.

Watched a Yank tonight on TV outraged that they have been "helping" people in other countries but aren't helping their own.

Anyway, back to the fuel price, have we all seen the article on "peak oil".

Scary stuff.

Yeah, theres an imbalance of how much effort was put into iraq, in comparison to the effor put on new orleans. Not only is it the war's fault for the petrol prices, but the fact that China is also growing, and becoming better off, hence, they are buying a fair few cars, taking up consumption of petrol.

But still, the petrol price is BULLLSHITE! I need to fill up the line too... Got a lift off a mate to uni today, so that was alright, but still, petrol prices are rediculous!!! Government should stop taxing petrol so the price will go down, and re-cooperate the money through other areas, cutting down on useless crap, such as useless business trips to America....

yes paying more money for anything you need to buy sucks, but does it really matter? I reckon it's worth every cent :P just enjoy your car and be thankful. Your kids will probably never be able to drive a car like a GTR etc.

you know i always have had that attitude, i was always thinking that i dont care if i pay the extra .10 a litre, its only a couple dollars difference in the end.

but an extra .40c???

i feel like someone has been poking me with a stick for a year untill i can take it and go spastic!!!

im very lucky i dont drive to work anymore, i get a lift.

but this still shits me

60l x 1.15 = $69 = bareable

60l x 1.50 = $90 = joke!

How the price of petrol manages to jump 10c/L in a few hours, portrays how bullshit the inflation of petrol has been over the last yr!

actually it jumped 20c, and im some cases more....

I just saw an article today on the news somwhere, that its supposed to go to $2.00!!! $2 bloody dollers! :P

For my stag thats around $130 or so for a tank! What a disgrace..

Honestly though, whats causing these prices?

Gday all, prophet of doom here.

See attached peak oil. I assumed everyone had seen it but then realised it was from another forum and Jan 2004 when I read it.

It is scary stuff but might just answer some questions (including big picture stuff like Iraq).

Far be it from me to defend John Howard but I don't think the Liberal or the Republican Party can be held directly responsible for the rise in oil prices.

Both our economies benefit from lower oil prices.

Circumstances and some collusion is what is responsible for oil prices.

Next week it will be $1,50!

The fact that the global economy is at the mercy of a small cartel is what's wrong.

T.

Its absolutely rediculous, who the hell DO we have to invade to get cheap petrol!!!

Seriously though, anyone wanna start working on a way to get the same power out of my car by running it on garbage (like the car in "back to the future 2" did....well i think it was 2)

Sick of getting ripped by governments. That oil document was an interesting read though. Scary stuff...will that mean i'll have to ditch the line??

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
