we fixed the fitment difficulties. I reckon the fit is now 95% OEM. slight uneven panel gap near quarter panels, very acceptable

The front reinforcement bar needs to be cut to size at the ends to fit the bumper

intercooler shroud sits well around the intercooler, it would require trimming to fit your individual intercooler.

brake duct guides look to be very usable as I have mentioned previously. just need a solution at the rotor! we will be addressing this next.

The oil and tranny coolers need some tweaking of their brackets so that the coolers sit flush with the cutouts on either side, the effect when positioned right is excellent.

Overall I am very happy with the end product. If you are a track junkie then I reckon this bumper will be for you, I will however partially reserve judgement until I can investigate the brake ducting solution and its function out on the track. Also, if you are considering this bumper though you will need to budget for quite a lengthy install and some fabrication of the cooler brackets

this is a photo from the guys at the workshop. I will get some more detail shots soon.

a few pics, car filthy but being in and out of the shop for ongoing mods means no time for cleaning! (reminds me of dirty dee of pootie tang fame!) will give it a wash before next track day

    • 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 👌
