mmm... nice, but still something about the Bayside Blue tho :), any pics to change my mind?? Mind if i ask why u changed cars?? The blue looked awesome!! Vented bonnet, 19inch rims (i think)... looked like quite a few goodies in her too...

oh and congrats on the new move. Been recommended by quite a few ppl to your place, cos i was doing some research into where i could get a car serviced/modified etc as i wasn't too keen on going out to Thomastown or whatever, seems i live in Sandringahm, so u guys are pretty close.

have u had experience with any RAWS compliancing yet? or still too early?

cheers.

i like the blue too,i sold it because an old fella in sydney made me an offer too good to refuse and when it came time to find a replacement decided i didnt want the same color.

it was quicker 335kw than this one ,but a bit hard core too,this will be under 300kw but will drive like a stocker and not attract as much attention.

still too early on the raws.

we have passed our stage 1 audit,stage 2 audit is 20th may,once we pass that we will be good to go.

cool on the photos,yep the boys took photos before me,i dont have any photos yet.

it has nothing to do with inflating prices.

av price will be $4000-$5000.

costs will be much higher.

brake pads,expensive cat convertors,pollution canisters,just to name a few.

also most shops will need to employ a book keeper to do all the paperwork required.

all equipment needs to be tested and logged.

its nothing like the old system,mountains of paperwork etc.

the costs will be higher and i doubt we will make anymore money on a $4000 compliance job,compared to a $2200 job under the old system.

    • 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 👌
