how is that even close to Mexican fitment??

Anyway it does look good

Because it has camber and is close to filling his guards perhaps? Doesnt need to be -10 camber or rubbing to be mexican (or mexican-ish if that makes u happy)

But then you have a starlet..

Mexican is when the wheels are WAY out the guards.

At least J-Rad knows what mexican is. clearly your fitment knowledge is matched by your knowledge of mechanics repairs and rb26 blocks. well sus this out next track day, everyone knows the Starlets greatest rival is the r32 GTR :D

and a pic of my old s13 to show you what good fitment is on a clean car, not mexican... and weezy.....why dont you drive over here and....oh wait :thumbsup:

yeah i think 10mm would have made it sit nicely but they did the job.

hoping to steve, with all the extra gear thats gone on since then, and some parts im waiting to arrive from Japan id love to get 1:27/28. should be possible but only time will tell.

looking forward to the shiny parts being on by Autosalon, and the rest of the suspension arms and under body bracing by track day

I could train it, my knowledge of how to get from A to B around Adelaide via public transport is getting pretty good lately

    • 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 👌
