Hey guys I need some answers for the following before I make a mistake and it earns me a defect

I wanna buy and arc induction box, but is it legal or not? I know a pod is frowned on but how about this? I guess it can still effect emissions as it's larger etc

Also dash mounted gauges in a triple gauge cluster, I've got the same one as the guy who owns TOPRPM and want to mount it there is this illegal in nsw? I'm not sure what the ADR is on this, but I thought it was all dash mounted gauges cannot be higher than the highest point on the dash or something along that line

Come on guys educate me!

Cheers

it depends whos checking it, a normal copper you SHOULD be ok, but if its at the pits, they take a photo and it is assessed by rta/epa if its legal or not.

Even if the a/market or custom box is enclosed, unless its engineered its still illegal, as it does affect emissions, just depends how much the cop wants to bend you over on the night!

search up, i remember i had this drama before and there was some good info from users.

and yeah pretty sure my engineers has writen my boost controller and so on do not sit higher than the dash or obstruct my vision.

    • 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 👌
