Hi people. Just a little survey for ya's.

In what order do you prioritize the things being done to your car? I've brought this down to 3 categories.

Performance/Maintenance

Aesthetics

Sound System

For me it is

1. Performance/Maintenance

2. Aesthetics

3. Sound system

So in other words I'll get the performance and maintenance things done before I start worrying about the looks of the car, and lastly the sound system which I'm not too concerned about.

Cheers >_<

.sound system (still rocking the jap 6 stack with no actual 6 stacker. radio frequency from 700 to 900) anyone heard of lite FM? its awesome.. especially late night gospel radio.

I had to put sound 3rd because i was tuning into my pink ipod i nicked from my ex every day ... liong drive with no charger left me pissed of with gospel talk back crap .. or courier fm aboriginal radio ..

1) Insurance

2) Alarm

3) Maintenance (making sure everything is running & working properly)

4) Performance (if more wanted)

5) SAFC to lean out the fuel or PFC coz Jap imports run very rich. PFC is illegal though.

6) Cosmetic/aesthetics

7) Sound

8) Drive car around for a while

9) Take off illegal mods & sell car

10) Move onto next project! ;)

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
