So I've had my Stagea for sale for a while but was in no real hurry to get rid of it. But after the last bloke came and looked at it and I went through another round of getting my hopes up and then getting all upset about not hearing back I decided to lower the price.

Lowered it to $17.5k (which I think is an absolute steal!) and within 4 hours, the guy that had looked at it rang me back and asked if he could put a deposit on it immediately.

So I just need to replace the front brake pads and get her detailed and she's no longer mine :P

It'll be real sad to see her go, but on the upside, it means I'm either 1 step closer to owning a house or 1 step closer to owning an FD RX7, lol, I'm yet to decide means more to me.

But anyways, the end of an era is fast approaching, time to make new friends with different cars and learn all about them. haha.

Wasn't originally going to come out on Sunday due to the painfully early start time - But since its my last chance, I'll make a serious effort to get there.

It was great to have a such a supportive and helpful team of people here on the forum to help me with my many enquiries. Thanks a bunch guys.

Hope theres a similar forum to help me out with my FD!

And Adam, I've sent you a msg :(

Last night? No.

Friday night? Maybe. lol. That's when I lost it and I've had a few complaints of late night phone calls already :D

Not a bad idea to be honest... But the poor bloke should have some decent working brake pads.

    • 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 👌
