hey owned.. my car was bought from autoforce.. I have to say kevin did try everything he can to look after me.. and believe me I am a very pickky n fussy person.. hehe..

In fact just been there and came back today.. still have a couple of little things to be fixed. Apparently I got a fair good deal on my car according to some of me friends.

But before I got my car.. I had a full RACQ inspection and anything that is not right.. I got him to fix before I got me car or afterwards. ;)

Which car are u gettin btw?

Oh as a side note.. saw they have a new silver (or light gunmetal?) 34 in the yard today.. looks like its stock.. but has a pretty good lookin front bar on it.. if the new owner fits a big FMIC on it.. ooooooo phatness... :D

Autoforce is a bit expensive but it all goes to quality and stuff..

SVI is pretty good..up in virginia... they are cheap too, coz they do all the

compliancing themselves... (they gotta license for it or sumthing)

compliancing is up to like 4-5k atm, as opposed to 1-2k a year or two ago

Thanx EUG. How is the Line going. Hope is all well.

We dont recomend RACQ as they dont know Imported cars. We recomend you take it to any panel beater and any mechanical workshop before you buy the car we have no problem with that. Means you guys know what you are going to be buying plus we have Money Back Gaureentes in place if the car is not how it was descibed like in Japan. Very safe way to buy a car.

Yotis ... what bodykit is yours? and on that note ... do you reckon your side skirts and rear bar would look nice with the front bar of that silver R34 you saw? (as in the Tommy Kaira one)

If I come up wanna come with me and have a closer look and let me know your opinion? :D

dang.... I didnt have a closer look at the car last time... was only looking at the front bar :rant:

Well.. am sure you'll find one that will be to your liking.. just be patient (well.. try anyway.. )

If you come up again to check out other 34s gimme a yell, I'll try to accompany you since I

wouldn't mind checking out other 34s. :)

    • 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? 
    • 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 👌
