I hate how geoff risbey takes absolutely no responsibility.

but he's charging for the service of selecting a good car.

that line he uses about "additional inforation can be made available for interested buyers, but please be specific about what you would like to know" is horse shit. You pay him, he's supposed to tell you what you need to know to make an informed purchase.

stupid snapperhead!

my front bar has seen better days..... unfortunately after repetetive hits its starting to develop small fractures, so I need those fixed plus where I had the nismo badge ( which was recently lost ) that will need to be smoothed out , the rear needs to also be smoothed out where a hacksaw was used for the install of the FMIC and I would like a respray to get rid of all those nasty little white chips I have collected..

im pretty lucky cos i dont have that many white chips :) the stones seem to hit the grill bit (where intercooler one day is too sit) .... and the bottom of the grill has become unstuck and needs to be reglued down.

i need to get the packaging tape sticky off where i went a bit over excited with it on the rear - looks like im going to have to replace that GTS25T badge on the back too :)

hehe dont even get me started on on my bent fins from stone chips!!!! :)

yeah its frustrating isnt it, having to spend quite a few dollars on the car and not really getting anything for it.... if you know what I mean... like after I get my car serviced and the bumper fixed , its going to look and drive like it did before but I am out of pocket alot.... just think of what that money could have done if spent on other mods :)

i know :) i know :) .... bloody 3K on tyres and suspension since i got it ...... another 1K on servicing :) ...... 4K that wouldve been FMIC and Zorst money with probably enough left over for an EBC ..... make me angry!

oh well not much of a choice haha ..... ive basically done all i can mechanically so i think it decided to chuck its wing off just to fustrate me :) .... my car is evil tell ya .... i think its a girl cos it can be a total bitch sometimes

Sorry Dan I have no idea on the cost for that???

Niz.... I hadent heard.... does that mean you have no brakes at all or are they just performing very badly????

Mine could probably get away with a good machine but I think I would rather have a good set of slotted DBA's.... brakes are something I want to have the best in....

it snapped completely thru but sat on the caliper in such a way the fluid didnt leak much and still go through ........ apparently im a vERY lucky girl. specially the way i tend to drive!!

haha try 170km lately been really nauti!! gotta straighten up or im going lose my license!!

yeah Alex i know - but i kinda someone that likes to have enough money cos for some reason things start to get complicated with my car .... e.g brake pades .... then next thing i know i need the lines replaced as well ....

    • 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.
