:) I love how you keep everyone updated on your life story.

:bunny: Selling a house is hardly a life story. Sorry, I thought this was Wasteland :rofl:

But seeing as you asked .....

Life Story entry #315 - Stagea has gearbox problems. Stuck in third gear.

Life Story entry #316 - Agent informs me I have offer of $xxx,xxx on house. Offer accepted.

Life Story entry #317 - Shopping for next toy. Have 30 days to seek new ride.

:blink:

Damn ...

Stagea is stuck in 3rd gear. A/T light flashes at me and stag drives in 3rd gear (since lunchtime today).

LOL, not you too!

The company Ford cranked over very slow (almost like a dead battery) before firing up this morning then put the tranny into limp mode.

Drove very slowly to the nearby Ford dealer and paid the guy $62 just to tell me that there were no codes logged in the ECU.

If I had just turned it off and restarted it again it would've cleared the ECU (that's all he did) but was worried the battery was on its way out and wouldn't restart. :bunny:

I'm about to do an oil change and the best I've come up with is:

and locally:

So yeah.... I'm interested in getting my hands on motor oil and gearbox/diff oil

Bloody inconvenient isn't it? :bunny:

Gotta drive the silver stagea tomorrow anyways. So the black stag gets the week off anyway.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

Have you asked anyone about 300V Chrono?

    • 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?
