Just had my rears done!

Marko, get Luke to flair them out a bit, doesn't matter if your paint cracks, cos your painting your car matte black yeah? :banana:

haha that was the idea ;)

paint is stuffed anyways so fk if i care, but still undecided on colour. matte black is still on the options list tho haha.

I'm flaring my guards at the moment but the paint is cracking. I can't say it won't crack with a roll but it shouldn't as I'm putting heat into the metal. Just don't blame me if it cracks.

Cheers

ey luke, got a pic ?

wanna see how badish it cracks

LOL Lukey, you're hardcore gangsta.......................when you're not being Spew Boy!!

He only puked because his superhuman digestive system detected some xanax and rohypnol and his ubermenschen instincts caused him to retch the vile filth back up, lest he be molested by some unholy fiend

-D

i've got a roller too and i would strongly advise against rolling front guards as the metal is thin and not overly well supported and you'll more than likely warp the guards. to fold the front guard lips up use a rubber mallet and tap them up or do it the proper way with a dolley

shotgun next :rofl:

haha if youre still keen,

i was after only a bit of flare on mine if you get em rolled... nothing serious coz the 33's have the stupid flat body line over the wheel arch opening and i dont want it to look too out of place coz of that.

might get you to do my whole car IF i get it back anytime soon, would like to fit 235s on the front without scrub

what size rims you got man? iv got 235/45 R17's with no rubbing. thats on 8 or 8.5 inch front rims,cant remember exactly what size.

    • 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?
