25 / 1j wouldnt be powerful enough. however a GT28RS strapped onto the TD42 motor is a good option for lotsa torque. Guy from the patrol forums just bought a manual GQ shorty from VIC, with engineered VS 5.0 injected engine in it :blush:

and if ya lifting, its gotta be at least 2+2 (2" suspension lift, and 2" lifting blocks under the body) - that gets the back step up to

I remember seeing a short wheelbase patrol with a RB26 and a big single hanging off the side in a magazine last year. This thing was crazy!

Thats was a pretty quick sale Pete!! Its a nice car..Can I ask where she has gone?? Still in SA or interstate?

It's a sad moment, I did it with mine not that long ago :( But still have the race car! :iluvff:

Hey Jess :wave: ........yeah stayed in Adelaide and went to a nice kid that works at the RAAF

can you get ppl's details from there plate number?
if your a cop or work for the transport department, then yes. lol

Depending on the job I'm on, I can do rego checks either via workcover or thru crown solicitors.....but no randoms.

Heck, I can drag out your private medical records with a section 110 if necessary :P

possibly, depends on the future path of the R.

moreso want to get back into having fun goin slow... = 4wd and mad scrub. wanna start heading up north again.. good cheap fun.

want a less lairy daily driver aswell (althought depends on the lift and tires oh and what turbo, turbo diesel ftw)... the vl will cost a fair bit to get up to spec again

now yoo speaky ma language :ninja:

hi all, im a heavy diesel mechanic by trade and was thinking about doing some weekend work from home such as cam belts, fitment of trans coolers, fitting of coilovers and various stuff like that. my questions are what do you all think is fair to charge for the above and does anyone need any of the above done?

i spend my days working on 27ltr twin turbo V12s and obviosly change my own cam belts and the like. any thoughts???

what would you charge me to replace rear springs & shocks and front coilovers in a 200series Landcruiser (I'll supply the parts)..........if it's too much, I may contemplate doing it myself but I don't feel like crawling under 3 tonne that's suspended in mid air, lol

you made a blatant threat in a public forum bud.....keep it to PM if you know the dude (or send me around to his place) :ninja:

yeh im sorry, i dont know who it is, its just stuff like that gets my blood boiling !

but ill keep your service offer in mind :P

List of jobs for the day:

Erect first frame of house extension, ensure frame is level, and pour foundations

Engine service and suspension tuning to friend's VFR400

Fit turbo to Stagea and re-assemble

Drop in on Damo, delivering tools and check out his RB

... and shower and eat at some stagea :P

bah no one looks in the WTB section frequently anyway, i was just after recommendations of places to look biggrin.gif

anyone got a clue how to get the P/S pump and A/C compressor off without bleeding said systems? (ie just being able to hang them off to the side in the engine bay)

    • 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 👌
