And so, today i was driving along old beenak road and suddenly i lost traction and bashed my front end against some sand embankment, and so my numberplate was knocked off, I was wondering, how much does it cost to fix? Like mount the plate back on. And is it legal for me to drive without a front numberplate? I have it in my boot. Or should i just duct tape it on for the time being?

It is illegal to drive around with no number plate...at the least you can use a piece of cardboard with your rego textered onto it. As long as you have something there displaying your rego it will be fine. Ask a panelbeater how much to fix, seeing you're probably going to spray your front bar again.

That is illegal too, you need to have the number plate there, just take the bolts and nuts you have to bunnings get 2 the same or close enough and bolt it back on, if the holes are a little bigger now due to being ripped out get bigger bolts or some bigger washers.

I would like to agree but unfortunately on saturday night when we were going through gembrook-emerald-kallista-belgrave we somehow ended up on a dirt road, slowed things down a bit.

    • 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?
