Can I have your opinion on this guys. Thinking of getting it as my daily. Dont laugh, serious question.

Hey duc!! If you want one of those as a parts runner, be cheap as on the old fuel, and a little bonus is, they come out with the E15 motor as seen in the little ET Pulsar(turbo), would be a sweet straight bolt in engine change. and not to mention some fun!!!

If they had one avaliable in adelaide, then sure i would think about it. Would be wicked to transport parts ie bonnet/bodykit/wheels around in that thing. Imagine the looks you would get driving down a street like rundle st in that thing. Hehehe

nice pics there duc.

sanding work looks good, but its hard to tell from a pic. looks like youve been using water too, just a tip - clean all the sanding sludge that has run down the front of the car up with a sponge after you finish sanding, if its left for any amount of time or the sun gets on it it can be hard to clean off later. :)

hehe

oh btw sam, say if i was to paint it in acrylic would the acrylic primer be ok on top of the current primer that is on the hood or do i need to sand back to the red coat underneath that. I know that acrylic/2pak dont mix, so im kinda dumb founded.

just prime straight over the top, no matter what paint it is, it would be dificult to sand the colored layers off by hand. you just need to keep in mind that the acrylic paint has more of a chance of 'biting up', than 2k

like how the guards looked before you sanded them, you could see all the sanding marks in the paint. also on the bootlid where they removed to spoiler & patched up the holes, you can see the 'bite up' lines where they put the poly-filler

taking bout hands, i have like blood blisters and crap cause of the sandpaper :pissed: My thumb and index finger are so sensitive now.

really? ive never had that before. if you have sensitive skin, be careful when using thinners & solvents, that stuff has recked my hands.

yeah i cant stand wearing gloves - pansy!! hehe. so i just use my bare hands and a block i made to sand it. I think the hrs upon hrs of my hands (right one) being soaked has not helped it.

    • 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.
