Cool . Tell him cos your the only child you deserve two extra pads.

One for renting out for you and one for your love of your life. ( the line stupid , not the guy ). Hehehe

Russ , I have prolly owned somewhere in the region of 100-120 cars in my time. As posted b4 , everything from Datto 1600's ( bout 10 of those ) to Porsches ( bout 1 of those ) . I would not change what I've done even if I could.

I have enjoyed every one though some more than others. They will give you grief , they will give you joy , they will make you poor but they can give the best feeling of being independent and your own boss.

I could have spent my money on properties , stocks and shares etc but when I am older I will have some great memories of the cars and things I did with them ( and in them ).

Can't say that about a savings bond.

Cheers

all u need now is a mint KPGC10 GTR ken

Funny thing is , I may be old ( well old compared to you lot ) but I do like fairly current technology.

Would much rather be in a GTR than an old 240z ( had 3 of those btw ) cos I like my speed and handling.

Not to say an old Porsche RSR wouldn't get my attention though..

A Near Death Experience, had a lot of them in the dreamtime, when drinking and driving was a way of life. Don't do that anymore, TAXI!!

Jesus , if I counted all those , I would need to find numbers that don't exist yet.

I spent about 8 yrs as a Navigator for some of the wildest drivers in this state.

Aren't old people allowed to have skylines, will they take our cars away from us and put us in homes?

When I go in a home , look out.

Twin o/head aerials , boom box , juiced up batteries in the gopher and a l/weight titanium polished zimmerframe. Hehehe

    • 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 👌
