I'm back from my afternoon on the river .

Coolcruise in the Bayliner 23 from Guildford to Matilda bay for a picnic tea and a few beers , then back to guildford , on the trailer and home.

As I was sitting out the front, cool breeze blowing and skimming across the Melville waters millpond is was thinking

* I wonder what the plebs are doing *

Now I know , breaking sumplugs , back windows and getting hot.

Hehehehe

Cheers

mostly stuck in garage - its quick but handles like a dinosaur - a dangerous combination! Its dragged a skyline and won and i reckon that my skyline is probably slower but my skyline is a lot safer to handle. Nearly ended up being my coffin a couple of times - incuding once loosing control and almost becoming truck food!

mmm yeah a lot rarer than the 180 - i had a choice between the 180 and my Z31 - and i just fell in love with my Z31 and that was it! But its rare to see ones in that condition and ive only seen one other black one around - the guy that owned it bought it out from hong kong in 95 owned it since new - he now drives a line that looks a lot like mine but can shite all over it with the amount of mods he's done (he's about 60 its really funny lil boy at heart me thinks) he was there when i went to pick my line up!

Hes done a few useless ricey things to that ZX such it beeps when the break pads are low haha

    • 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?
