yeah, but everything else was gentle.  

Paul has a habit of making things......faster/dangerous.

Lets just say that on average micko and paul drive faster than russ and Liz.  

which is not an endigtment on russ or liz, just that micko and paul are maniacs!

:D

Thanks Alex - I'll remember to keep my slow unconfident ass out of cruises.... don't want to hold you guys up or anything.

C'mon Lizzah,

I dont have any complaints - besides, Id much rather share breakfast with you than with paul :D

like I said - theres two types of cruises...

..and that wasnt the type where paul gets behind you and snow-ploughs you to the finish line!!

(thank god)

as far as unconfident etc goes - I think the hills are good for that, because you can generally find your own pace.

Always gonna get different rates of driving, but its probably dangerous to try and keep up with a car as modified as pauls when you're driving a semi-stock one.

Yer aidwin has been hiding. Who knows where?

Get out of the govt. U just waiting for that long service and pension plan they have. I know:)

so are you seeing him on the weekend or something??

govt - preaching to the converted. but for now it pays better than private enterprise anyways.:uh-huh:

I think Russ does a damn fine job with his N/A.... oh and me... well after ploughing through a car and 4 traffic lights and also the minor incident at that cruise.... hrrmmmm I was actually beginning to get my confidence back and I thought I did well at the cruise and even better on Friday night.

Nothing like an awesome comment on ones driving to change all that.....

Liz, like I said - comment was not about your driving ... more about Paul's.

as for micko - he's driving a GTR.

re the brekky cruise - you had fun and you didnt bin it. therefore you did a good job.

the whole point of having those cruises is to have fun. provided that you do that, it doesnt really matter how fast you're going.

    • 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 👌
