After a five month wait on an insurance claim i finally have a new bonnet on my stag. I had to make a claim because i came across a very drunk person who thought my bonnet would make a good seat. It wasnt badly damaged but i wanted to make him pay my excess so he doesnt think its alright to go round jumping on peoples cars. I fitted a Blits bodykits fibreglass vented bonnet due to the lack of and price of steel bonnets (plus they look cool) :D . And i have to say the build and quality of the bonnet is excellent and required minimal work to get it on. The only damage to the bonnet was the 2 top corners of the bonnet from it being stood on its end in transport (which isnt too bad considering it had to go from QLD to TAS). So all in all a big thumbs up to Blits cos they build really good parts! :rofl:

:D lol at crazy dream. Something stronger than that i reckon.

hm.... ive been wanting that bonnet, now that i seen the vent . . .not to sure, looks kinds half assed design.

Definatly not half assed. Photos dont really do it justice. Its very hard to get the right angle for photos with a pearl car when your a bad photographer like me. The bracing of the bonnet and quality of the fibrerglass is excellent and its a fair bit lighter than the steel one.

    • 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 👌
