more pics.

the roof doesnt have a cross in it mainly due to the fact i wont be able to fit in it since im a tall bastard. so having cage steel hitting helmet is not ideal. the next best we could do was a single bar down the centre, tied in with the roof.

also added some more rear bars for extra strength. rear stays are tied to the strut towers for max strength.

yeah its looking that way... bit of a bitch to get ducting through the two cages legs if i choose the quarter window path haha. if i do it though therear 1/4's im gonna need some custom fibreglass work done... got any suggestions?

Yea I know how to get the fiberglass work done but the problem is it costs a few hundred to make the moulds and I don't have any left lol. Might be cheaper to fabricate it from sheet metal, rivets and auto glue.

i might do a boot intake instead... might be more effective i think



pretty much done in the rear in terms of tube work.. there's rear 1/4 reinforcement, a jacking point, a rear bash bar, the frame for rad all done. just need to do ducting and fans.

^looks like much fun was had

why not feed air form the boot lid, then just thermo fans

The air flow over the boot will actually make it harder to suck air through, vents in the quarter glass or panels actually work a little like an air ram getting more air to the rad.

    • 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?
