I'm taking my car over dickson soon and i have one quick query.

My car used to be an automatic but the auto blew up last year so i took the opportunity to convert it to a manual. I did the conversion at home in my garage myself (as far as i know i did it properly because it's now a year later with no problems). Will i have to get this conversion engineered?

Also on this topic do the guys at dickson have any problems with hicas lock bars?

Cheers guys.

I don't think you need to engineer it since the car you have was also produced as a manual. Maybe go ask an engineer to be certain. If all you did was bolt standard manual gear without needing any custom work in then I doubt it.

Would the guys a dickson even look twice at a hicas lock bar? :)

I don think the manual is a problem. (As long as its from the same model car)

Aka r32 manual box put into your auto r32. Or what ever car its is. (same with ford etc)

This is becuase the car has been rated to this gearbox.

If you dont tell them i dont think they will even pick it up!

Give it a shot... i think you will be fine. But depends on the inspector.

A mate got his VL calias turbo through with a screamer, the guy let him through on the grouds he was a fan of screamers. It was also stupidly loud and a little low. Just depends who you get. You should be right though.

    • 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 👌
