Ill be pulling the motor out the weekend after next, So happy to seperate bits and pieces, there is no BOV on the car though, but I do have a KKR one floating about somewhere.

I have someone interested in the rotors already..but I doubt he'll take them. So if you want them let me know :rolleyes:

How much you looking for? and how much have they been used? any rust on em?

AAAAANNNDDDD Can you just swap them straight over with stock calipers, and not worry about alignment? sorry it's been YEARS since I've had rotors off the VL, and don't remember if any steering components get touched.

They have a fair bit of rust on them cause they have been sitting on the car which hasnt moved for months lol.

They just go straight on, no steering bits get touched.

They were used for a couple of track days and maybe a year of street driving. But hardly worn at all.

Id be after around 100 bucks for them

I'm guessing its unlikely you haven't this bit already, but I'm after the right inner wheel arch plastic guard thingo. Sorry I don't know the actual name, but if you've still got it, I'm keen to get my hands on one.

As for the RDA slotted rotors, if the rust is only minor and superficial, put me third in the line of interested parties. You wouldn't happen to have pictures by any chance?

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
