the other driver tried turning right off milton road into castlemain and obviously didnt see me... the result was a very nasty T-Bone and i am very thankful that he didn't have a passenger in his car.

Ive been down to the holding lot and it looks even worse than what it did at night...his especially

Thanks for all the support guys and ill keep you all posted

ah dam liam glad you were not hurt mate that suck :( good luck with the insurance Co, on another note I hope they right it off for you rather then fix it once a cars had a big hit like this its never the same....... (rattles, creaks etc etc & chassie are not built to take a hit like that)

As some one said above liam I would go down to the yard & pull any thing out of the car u can thats not listed on your insurance or u will lose it...

Woah, you're almost as skilful as I am, well atleast your ok, cars can be fix-crash and burnt, you'll be back on the road faster than you think.

Lok on the bright side, if it was writen off, you get o choose a new colour if you didn't like the white.

Good to see you are ok, I hope for your sake that they don't repair it.

The car will never be the same again. A write off might be a blessing in disguise. Let me know if you need any help finding another good one, I have contacts.

No offence, but from those photos I'd be saying you t-boned him - how did it happen?

yeh, but it was the guys fault as he turned right over liam's path when he should have given way...liam's light was green to go straight ahead

Must have been the night for accidents. Saw a newish Blue 200sx totally mauled on the corner of Webster and Gympie Rd near Chermside around 10pm. Looks like it ended up taking out what looked like 4-5 cars.

The most important thing is you guys are all ok. Hope insurance does the right thing by you.

yeah, that blue s15 was my car til i sold it to a mate of mine two weeks ago. i was in his car when it happened. luckily no one involved was hurt or anything.( i just cant walk properly atm coz my leg hurts). there were 4 cars involved and a lady ended up with being in the creek under the bridge.

yeah, thats what happens when an inexperience driver drives a turbo RWD car in the rain.lost traction and lost control of the car. totally write off.

luckily he wasnt doin anyting illegal, not speeding, no drinks, no one was hurt and he had a clean history. also, thanx to the ppl who gave their witness against what the cops accused us-- street racing and doin burn-out( how can u do a burn out in the rain that hard?) the only reason they came to that was it was close to aspley maccas and it was on thursday nite.

also, good luck to liam,mate. hope everyting goes well for u.

daym sorry to see that happen mate... hope all goes well with insurance.. as Erin said write everything doen etc.. im sure its a write off.. my old one was..good luck .. sad to see a liner like that..

    • 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.
