used a wire wheel tonnes of wet and dry sand paper, undercoat and some decent paint. colour was tungston i think.. commodore colour :P

all up two full days

just temporary till i get them all blasted back and powdercoated properly

Might get mine done in a light grey.

yeah Roo that why you dont show up to the auction at all send your man in your place and have a phone link with him :P muhahahaha

thats actually very good advice. Make sure you also tell the agent that if the vendors insist with the auction going ahead that your offer may not be there at the end if it gets passed thru for less.

Nah this is what he meant. Theres the hose which goes from the turbo to the actuator. He said that apparently this was not meant to be, but there was

meant to be a solenoid that went in between it from Nissan factory. At this stage he had already passed me so i wasnt going to argue much, but i mentioned

that i thought they only came out on later models like 33,34. Bleh i dunno lol >.>

Congrats Min! Hopefully get mine passed next week so I can get back to driving it again! :D

Thanks Luke, just pray you dont get one of the younger looking guys. They looked fairly tough. (As in following the book down to the line@!) I got a middle aged

bloke who happened to be in a happy mood. I guess i got lucky!

My new tie rod ends has arrived awesome :D anyone fitted these before? Should I fit them myself I'm not sure because getting the adjustment exactly dead-on on both side looks to be a pain or should I have some suspension place do it so they adjust it and get an alignment done aswell?

If you need a hand mate, ill help ya out!

and MIN, yea Boost solinoid was a two stage bleeder which switched from 5psi to 7psi at 4000rpm on RB25DET!!! The Guy is obviously confused..One of robert's 33's didn't pass tier 3 because of this exact reason. The hose from the compressor housing to the actuator is stock so no stress mate.

    • 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 👌
