the blue/shiny bits will be hidden behind the bumper - though it looks nice like that with the bumper off the blue and the bling breaks off the black nicely haha

I was considering painting just the piping but photoshopped it thought it looked a bit odd so I did the whole thing heat resistant black, no primer - will black mesh off the middle section and wrap the pipes in something else black I reckon coz not sure how well the paints going to hold up on the sides there - the chrome hardly stayed shiny with rocks and bugs flying at it!

well steve/damo pretty sure you guys were right about the AFMs. im about to pull them off and have a look now. My car cut out 3 times on the way home from work, pretty scary lol

booked into the mechanics tomorrow morning, hopefully they can make heads or tails of it.

Quick question, anyone know if turbotune are open saturdays? Or even boostworx? Even if the car can be dropped off on a saturday and moved around the back or whatever to be worked on/looked at on the monday..

ah joel you dont need to take it somewhere (where are you taking it)

go see Wally @ Z-imports next to Roccla Besser @ ottoway grand junction rd when i was there 1.5 months ago he had 2 gtr AFM's like 60-80$ ea. from memory get them and that should sort your problems

Jarrad - boostworx is sometimes open on saturdays but i dont think he answers the phone not sure about turbotune maybe ring tomorrow and organise your drop off

Thanks guys, and girl. Might give them a call tomorrow, dont know when its going to be dropped off as yet, its being driven the night we go to pick our hoodies up. May be safe booking it in early september. Ill decide tomorrow.

DTM are out of stock in 18 x 9.5 +15 :whistling: gotta wait for their other stock to sell before access get new ones (ie they have to sell the 18x7.5 +45's etc :D ) might look at the Origin DNA01's....

    • 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 👌
