BTW you have the same side skirts, rear 1/4, and front fenders as mine.

I'm trying to find the right offset for mine too.

If you do find a offset for it let me know.

car looks nice dont like the rims the 18s would be enough with nice offsets like roy said... it would be good to see the car in life in the sun to get the full effect of the paint.

THe colour is abit of a overkill, didnt think it would turn out so bright, i will bring it out if theres a local cruise.

Thanks for your help and opinion guys, appreciate it.

Paint looks awesome buddy, even though the pics are shitty.

As for rims i would stick with 19's, with charcol/black centre and polished dish :(

Hope to see the car one day. Maybe even line up yours, Janissary, and mine to see the differance in paint. I'd imagine yours would "pop" more, being a custom colour.

i know what you mean, but at the moment it has 18x10's and doesnt fill out the guards enough.

So im thinking 19x12.5 Work Vs rims.

Although im unsure of what offset i need to fill out the rear guards.

19's should be fine. But get something like a +20 offset.... you have large guards dude, so I wouldn't be skimpy on the offset.... even look at some spacers!

Paint job looks awesome mate - i believe it was you i saw in my rear view mirror yesterday at about 5:30'ish on Ballarat Road; you slowed down next to another bloke in an burgandy R33 and then done a u-turn - I was in my R32.

Pictures dont do this paint job justice - very nice in the flesh :)

Cheers,

Steve.

nice colour... bit too porno for my liking but hey I'm old.

worst pics ever. lol.

what's the deal with the FMIC... why is it laying back at the top??

if anything it would be better to lay back at the bottom like a GTR rather than forward in case you clock the curb parking etc....

Yeah that was me, slowing down next to a friend of mine towards caroline springs.

I had to lay back the cooler , because my piping runs the factory way and the piping is run behind the intercooler, instead of under, because its abit too low to the ground.

    • 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 👌
