Hi all

Long shot but maybe someone knows........

I have looked at the Workshops/Tuners sticky but cannot see anywhere and am not overly familiar with car part stores.

Mitsubishi were my first port of call but they would take up to 4 weeks from Japan and as it seems, (I think it would have been incorrect anyway based on the ones Eastside supplied). I tried Chadstone first being a Ralliart Distributor but they could only order them, then tried Knox who suggested Eastside Mitsubishi.

Eastside had the LED's that Chadstone priced so Mavric has kindly trundled out there and got them, only to find they are the wrong size. I called Techsport who were very helpful and suggested Bursons as apparently they are quite common. Bursons couldnt help and sent Mav to another parts distributor near by who again couldnt supply and this time told him they were genuine Mitsubishi parts only.

This LED has a little black plastic cap on the base with a bayonet type fitting that locks it into the dash.

Is my only hope 4 weeks from Japan (assuming they get the right one as there is no part number on it) or can anyone help on here please?

Can post a pic later but Mav is currently roaming Melbourne with it!

Any help appreciated. :D

No idea what type of LED you're after Alan, but Justin and I just got some LED's sent from America.

They took about 3 days to get here :)

I'll try find the link to the site for you...They seem to have a pretty wide range to choose from so you might get lucky :D

Thanks for the replies guys.

After showing them the globe when Mav went to get the money back on the originals, the found some and out of courtesy did a straight swap even though they would have been priced higher.

Appreciate the quick response guys.

This can be deleted/locked if needed or used as a resource if it helps with other suppliers.

:D

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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 👌
