no havent been to steves i have heaps of mates that go there and usually on a thurs morning ive got a couple of messages on my phone - u at steves? u at steves? been meaning to go there!!

Micko - what training at Mc's are we going to do because there was talk of having some license blahblahblah etc etc etc - what training are they doing and do we get to use our own vehicles - because im more interested in learning how to thrash my own car - ive thrashed too many toyotas celicas and bathtubs (mr2's) already when i worked at toyota and neither impressed - more would like advance driver training for the car i already drive. also price?

Yeah well i may go one day 33Spec2!

weekdays i dont normally go out on weekdays - to tell ya the truth i find northbridge bad enough on weekends - the guys are like pirhanas - and i dont mean to sound up myself but i get sick of lame guys approaching me all the time in the hope to get laid. Plus theres a guy that usually goes to Steve on wednesdays and id rather not bump into him.

$185 dollars is an awful lot of money to get someone to teach me how to drive my own car - i can do that thru my own mistakes. When is it - if its like a month or so away count me in - i can afford it by that time. Who else is going? the fact i get taught in my own car is a major plus - just need a date to make my discision and any requirements like helmets etc. Also the promise that my baby wont get marked by any of those nasty witches hats.

bathtub is as slow as Joe - in fact why people want to buy new MR2's is way over my head - slow as mate - nothing special at all - hot as all hell in summer - in fact i used to prefer taking a plain jane corolla anywhere than an MR2 - all of us did it used to be a fight of who we could offload the MR2 too!!

Trust me i bump into so many ppl id rather not there but really who cares im always wit my friends so i make an excuse not 2 talk 2 em like when i went this week some ppl were shouting out my name and i was like who the hell are they are they talking to me? so i went up 2 em and they were like do u remember us? Oh sh*t i was thinking i hav no clue so i just said Fark no and theywere ppl i went 2 primary school wit! how embarrassing i hate running into ppl!

33Spec2 - yeah bumping into people i would rahter not see is one thing - i can handle that. But this guy - its a long drawn out story that started when i was 14 and to ths day he's still messing with my heart - i just would rather not. Trust me im not sentimental over anyone - except this guy - it just farks with my head too much.

Ok 29th should be able to afford it by then suspension will be done, car tuned its just a matter of money left over after all that - but at the moment its pretty positive - so book it - if at the last minute i cant come im sure i'll get someone to fill my place.

    • 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.
