Funny you should mention that, my overflow bottle was empty too. Radiator was full though. Topped up the overflow bottle with demineralised water and all's well.

Another +1 for Boostworx. I've had the 100k service and a 10k service done there now, and the only complaint I had was that when they've refilled the radiator, they didn't fill it up properly with Distilled Water after putting the coolant concentrate in. So when I got home and had a look, my overflow bottle was empty and I couldn't see any coolant in the radiator... having just driven 45mins in peak hour traffic, I was a bit freaked out... esp as they'd have done the dyno run like that. But it only took another litre of demin water to top it up, and it's been going fine ever since.

But they're great guys to deal with and I'm quite happy with their services.

Just have to give massive thumbs up to Boostworx also.

Dropped my car in on Thurs to have the 100k service and a few other things done. But as they're a bit busy at the moment it took a bit longer than expected so they went in today to finish it off and didn't stop until it was finished... at 6pm!

Great guys to deal with and I have my car for the weekend too which is great :D

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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 👌
