Has anyone changed the dash globes on a 32??? I have brought blue LED ones and was just wondering how long they take to fit???? might try and fit them today :D

took me around 3 hrs the first time I did it, 2 hrs the second time... also stripped my dash out yesterday which took 3 hrs to disassemble and around 2hrs to get 1/2 of it back on... its not too hard but if u have problems, send me a tell. worst comes to worst u can buy me booze and I'll do it for ya ;P

-D

anyone know when changing gearbox oil do you need to replace the filler and drain plug with new ones?

thanks Luke

dont need to replace the plugs unless the old ones are shagged. if still in good nick just clean the magnet and plug.

hahaha yeah i know!! every little thing possible should be done in the first week to impress the boss! haha

thanks for well wishes! all helping me to amp up for the big day...... sorta like a dream place to be working

just got my dash led's working again steve...

i by-passed the dimmer knob (soldered the wires together)

and noticed there were still 2 not working, i mucked around with them switching them around, and now they all work!

its been a while since i have seen that!

i did notice one of the led's had melted though :(

meh, it still works, i just ordered white ones lol

Well I've got a bit of a head ache at the moment. I sold a diff to one of my mates and I shimmed it up and fitted it today, and after I had it in I was positioning it to line the bolt holes up and it fell out onto my head. For those who have picked up an R200 they would know they aren't that light.

So now i have an egg on my forehead the size of an actual egg.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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 👌
