the for sale section here would be a good start though just be careful that the item is in as described condition. Other places in Canberra are J Racing for the front bar, spraying and fitting. a few guys on here have had some work done by them. I took mine to newgel they did an ok price but the quality of work could have been better.

hope that helps a little

ps series 2 lights from nissan are bloody expensive so look for some from a wrecker or the for sale section

hmm i though you only needed front bar, headlights and bonnet maybe do a search on here to find out i think its a common sort of thing people wanting their dull series ones to look like series twos :rofl:

maybe your right, but when i asked a few people about doing a series II conversion they said i needed the gaurds too? Just something to sus out a little more anyway. ;)

Oh and yes, Evo, let me give you a quick example:

I walk in there (17 yr old)

"Hi i would like a price on a rear boot lid for an r33, looks at me $300"

My dad walks in there (40 yr old)

"Hi i would like a price on a rear boot lid for an r33, oh yeah sure, comes with a S2 wing as well ~ $150"

This was two days apart... other then that they've been fine to me. I was just suggesting to go have a look as they had alot of bars upstairs when i went up there...

I think that your sh*t out of luck looking for a front bar or bonnet in Canberra unless you go to J'Racing and talk to Jerry about it (he's not cheap though because he will not do a half assed job) but if you want good parts at a reasonable price for Skylines, call Just Jap auto imports in Kirrawee in Sydney and get Tony or Darren to send you a bar and bonnet and ask them what you need to do to put the headlights in... Trust me when I say that they are the most cluey guys when it comes to Nissans and they will help you out no problems at all.

Also when you get the bar and you want it painted talk to Prestige smash repairs (I think they're in queanbeyan Im not sure tho) cos they resprayed my friends car and it is immaculate (I would know cos I was a new car detailer for 3 years).... Hope I could help man :rolleyes:

    • 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.
