Heres the measurement as promised.

Not sure of the height of the stock bumper but from what I can remember there was only about an inch difference between the two.

Looks like theres still plenty of ground clearance. Has the car been lowered - coilovers/springs & by how much?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes the car has been slightly lowered with Bilstein shocks but still using stock springs. Bilstein shocks from SK's groupbuy have built-in adjustable circlips, each with 8mm in between. Mine is at the lowest setting which in theory should be 24mm lower both front and rear.

Front 380 mm - 24 mm = 356 mm

Rear 370 mm - 24 mm = 346 mm

Forged, your Skyline looks awsome, congrats.

U've been waiting since June and u've paid for it? Damn thats pretty bad customer service.

Ive been trying to get in contact with Powerplay as well for the last 3 weeks just for a quote, no pickup's, no calls returned. Are they still in business?

Since June?!?! It's taking them ages. I would've cracked the shits after 2 months.

Thanks DOSKI.

Did you leave a deposit or full payment? They can be a bit slow with communications sometimes but keep trying and make sure you leave a message everytime they will get back to you eventually. I paid a deposit and waited for 3 month till they called again no problems at all.

    • 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 👌
