Here are the pics taken this morning, a bit of (amateur) pp work done in photoshop. Couldn't help myself :unsure:

It's actually not as low as i thought, it sticks out a bit more then the Dayz that's why it looks lower then it is. Drove it around town/bp/maccas this morning and didn't scrape anything. Basically as long as i remember to slow right down and approach any dip at a slight angle, it's all sweet. Very happy with Norwood Panel Works jobbie too, can't tell the paint difference can you!

haha! i see what you mean. I like my things straight and square like that :unsure: so it suits me :unsure:

Tell you what though, i'm glad i got them to paint the mesh inserts matt black before putting them on. They came in a silver that would have just looked strange.

what was the front bar fitted and painted worth. if you don't mind me asking?

sorry if you already mentioned it didn't find it. did it pretty much bolt on and line up?

It was an insurance jobbie so i don't know final cost. Bar delivered from QLD was about $600. Original Dayz bar was going to cost around $3k from japland.

according to the panel guys it was a bit of a pain to mount but all in all a fairly decent piece of fiberglass. Needed all the connections drilled and bolts put on which delayed things a bit.

oh yeah their bonnets for stagea ..

Vented $770

TJ, are you saying that Blits are doing vented bonnets for the Stagea? I'd love one (eventually) on my s1 if I can get one. And if Blits are doing them, I'd say it's safe to assume they'd be ADR-approved like most of their stuff, right?

ADR Aproved (Australian Design Rules)

NSW RTA Aprroved

very diffrent rules

Bonnetts are adr approved and come with individual no. stamped and papers.

Front bar looks good! sell me your old one!

I've agreed with the Mrs we'll trial this one for a bit because it's still lower then she's comfortable with. Sorry!

pretty sure it would be ADR, because in HPI mag they were giving away a r34 gtt vented hood ADR approved.

got the pic in my inbox somewere, got a pretty wide vent, facing the windsheild. e-mail them see what they can do, i got a nice deal on the whole front setup, just waiting for credit card to rock up then BAM!

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