Of crashing. Yeah it has an airbag - but when I hear a crash on the TV - I am pyshically sick, if I come up a bit quick to another car all I see is the accident. If I am driving and its stressful - like heavy rain or something I can;t breath properly. I never used to be like this - i was confident before

Liz I have been in more accidents than most ( usually as a navigator ) but found that by having confidence in your safety equipment and your self , the fear subsides fairly quick.

With the amount of times I have been in a roll ( bout 25 ) I worked out I am not destined to die in a motor car.

i think we should organize some sorta wet skid pad day

-my friend fully crashed his s15 the other day because he lost traction and panicked,did the wrong thing and braked..and flipped his car

Unfortunately , there is no one in Perth who has a skidpan.

When it rains at the MC track , it's great fun though.

lol @ ken.. after 25 rolls (separate occasions?!) then i'd say you have a correct hypothesis.. :D

Nah , 1 rotation is a roll. Was in a Triumph herald ( shaddup ) rally car that went over 31/2 times and caught fire.

Wrote off my rx7 rally car at a Sth Australia rallysprint with a 31/2 ( including 2 in the air ) .

Targa was 1 or so in 2001.

2 with my dad in a Datsun 1600 rally car

The list goes on...

    • 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 👌
