hey peepx, just got a new bonnet which will be installed in a weeks time but did a trial fit and took pics of it. And also the CF gauge holder which i had for awhile but too lazy to take any pics. finally took pics of it and thought i should share it here. :P Pardon me for the crappy pics taken on my mobile. Next should be a turbo upgrade if business goes well. :P

Hate to break it to ya bud but the bonet will definately be illegal. Not only for the obvious fact that it's carbon fiber, but also because of the rear facing vents. The pod guage looks ok though, though I would paint it to match the dash as it doesn't really blend in or look like it belongs, but that's just my opinion :P

yea, thats what i thought but when i saw it in the flesh, i realized that the center part, there are no holes which means i have no vents facing me? :D with the gauge i think its not matching the surround as well! hence i am looking around for CF surround right now. :P damn, now i sound like a CF sucker. lol

hahah. Well if there's no reverse facing holes, I say porn!!

But yeah personally I'd be looking at doing something about the colour of the CF surround, but definately a +1 for awesome on the Deffi guages too :P They aren't cheap, but they are bloody good.

Word has it that Deffi do a replacement instrument cluster for the standard in-dash R32 GTR clusters, want to have a look into that :D But also, not cheap, something around the $800 mark I hear? Still want to look into it :P

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      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?

      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.
