good luck with the build Noddy....I'd love to pull the engine out after 3 years to check it was OK lol.

as for the harnesses, I use rollcage for 2 rear points, factory seatbelt points for rear 2 and have put an eyelet with reinforced plate in the floor at the correct location for points 5 and 6. Factory points are great you know they have been comprehensively engineered and tested.

Well, this can only be my relative uneducated opinion in these matters but, the hone still looks excellent, still need to check for roundness of the holes.

Cams look pretty good. The grind marks are just bedded in on the tips. I will be sending the head off for a birthday next week and let them mic it all up.

If my old machinist was still with us (RIP) he would probably be asking me why on earth I pulled it apart?...... but in more colourful language.

New addition to the little car that could, 34 wheels and Yoki AO50 in 265/35 :) :)

I purchased GTR gaurds and indicators to allow the fitment, but they seem to fit ok without them.

Got a day at Lakeside this sunday for Make a Wish Foundation, so hopefully get to test it out and give some kids a buzz at the same time! :(

Looks the goods Ben, and it's nice you'll be giving some kids something to smile about mate. Good work ;)

Had the part-time track car tuned yesterday, pretty happy with the results for the outlay. Only mod is a turbo back exhaust.

Fark, what with another GTSt that i like the look of more then mine....depressing :D

bah, its just another GTR wannabe ;)

does look good with the 34 wheels. and I'm sure it will go good with the A050s too. I'm gonna have to fork out for a decent set of tyres next year to try and catch up

Yeah, just a APS turbo back exhaust and a reflash by RE Customs here in Vic. The mid range gain is phenomenal, really happy with it.

Just got a harness bar as well, so now I need to pick up a seat rail so I can swap the Recaro between the 180 and STi and it should be a nice occasional track jigger ;)

Not for Targa Roy, Weds will be back on. More sidewall I think will equal better handling bumpy stuff and of course there's a saving of around 3kg per corner with the Weds.

I got the 18's simply to utilise stocks of used A050's for all the circuit stuff I do. Spend a little to save a lot :D

Very nice improvement Dane ;)

Yeah it is Greg, it's an awesome street car. I haven't been in pretty much anything that would keep with it on a tight course, or at least it feels that way! :laugh:

I got it second hand off a guy from the Rex club, but he got it from Meridian. Directly from them is pretty pricey, so I've been looking for a used one for a little while now nd just got lucky.

    • 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 👌
