I'll be in contact this week about ppl's cars. Just flat out at the moment with other shit.

hey, could I get in touch with you sometime soon, to roll 4 guards on my stagea?

rubbing with the 9.5's on all-round, want to get it sorted prior to the 26th track day.

are you able to help out? Im free anytime basically being out of work,

but if you dont want to "pimp my guards?, can you perhaps suggest someone down south who can roll guards?

cheers mate

i got my own painter for small things like my kit, but if i was gonna get some crash work/flares/etc done, id probably go and see all type with all the good things i hear and see out of there.

well I did my rears today. fronts are fine as is

the 17x9.5rims now feel fantastic thru the twisties, the 235/45/17 tyres stretched but now not hitting the inside lip

jacked the rear up, took off the rear rims, tapped the rear lip edge up, then hit the inside rim fold with a rubber hammer and a solid hammer

ended up folding the inner guard lip into itself, but got a bit of paint peal chipping off.

minor enough, but enough to justify a full paint touchup next year, to repair the mirror rust, rear bar crack and bodywork chip/stone damage.

so yeah, just by folding the rear guard lip into itself the tyres now dont scrape thru the hard corners.

next week it gets a tune, so will also tighten up the swaybars to max setting.

    • 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?
