on the way home just now some magna was trying to race me :)

i think i need vroooom chhhhhhhhhh now

i was going out earlier and some vl commodore kept on coming alongside me and revving his engine, took a quick glance aside and saw the passenger had a missing tooth at the front. came to the lights and they were trash talking etc like all stereotypical commodore drivers do.

Shame my car has some exterior work that needs done, else my car would have looked the part far more than it does :no:.

on that note, i don't suppose anyone could give some hints for the following.

Front suspension is sagging, needs to be swapped out, does anyone know of a decent price for some decent front suspension (i recently bought springs off another member here, made no difference so it's more than likely the suspension.

and as a direct result of the suspension, my front bumper has taken some damage. does anyone know a place that would be able to repair it and respray it? also needs a better fit as the previous owner tended to do jobs in halves :D

also a set of fairly plain 17"/18" rims +tyres? i've heard tyrepower blackwood are pretty good, anyone else have any suggestions? (i live south of town)

Ive gotta say the only recent competition ive had was some kawasaki motorbike and even that I could keep up with until he got his front wheel off the ground and then he jetted off.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
