bought some yellow paint from supercheap (guessed the colour) and finally painted the rust under the mirrors and the knock on the front bumper

just loading it up atm for the trip to tassie on sunday :)

to the guys with the heat shielding, round the corners on the sheets and they will be less likely to peel off

Fitted some single piece braided brake lines to the front today, big thanks to Chuckie for the help (sourcing and fitting) :thumbsup:

What a difference! Already had slotted RDA 350Z rotors, EBC greenstuff pads and a master cylinder stopped so while it doesn't stop as well as my 32, it does pretty damn well for a bus. The braided lines have improved braking response tremendously, instant bite!

started installing the black interior! did 4 doors, the top half of the boot and the lower half of the dash. its gonna look good in black :)

lol my sister wrote her car off yesterday(well i hope it is) im gonna take her black V35 interior i might buy it back lol

Had a leak in the dump pipe repaired.

Polished the cam covers.

Polished the crossover pipe.

Replaced all the turbo manifold gaskets.

Inspected the turbo while it was off and its still in good nick.

:thumbsup:

which paint did you go for, how faded is your paint and how was the match?

Got a bit on mine i need to fix up

its ok, mine was for under the mirrors and a scrape on the bumper so was better than it was

will take some pics but i won't be able to get them up for a while

GB Swaybars went on yesterday- before it got stupid hot in Sydney. Back was easy, Front-one prick nut was putting up a fight. Rear sensor had to be re-aligned to fit because of the adjustable bits on the bar. Other than that, all smooth and good! Great improvement when driving. Will drive more :woot:

On the LHS rear sway I think they added some sort of roll sensor. Its a Bosch unit, that measures body roll via the bar movement. Can only think it does something for the AWD system, as there is no stability control. Maybe ABS...?

pity they didn't strengthen the rear mounts... I've got the same ones as everyone else. >_<

I replaced a sidelight this morning from the top. removed the airbox etc etc... very enjoyable. Hope it doesn't go again anytime soon- could they have found a harder to get to place?

now dump it! :P

First I have to pull some camber out of the rear as it's eatting tyres silly fast. Also have to get some springs made up for the front so I can drop it and keep the spring rate I want. I'm also needing some front camber arms and some SA spec bolt-ons..... :rofl2:

Then dropped :D

Made it to tamworth

The rad flush I did had moved all the crap about and the I think the rad is blocked, saw 111°c on the ecutalk display and had to start using the heater to cool it down :(

38°c out side and the heater on full = fail, just 1300 kms to go, temps are between 80 and 95 now, just don't have time to get it sorted cos we are tight on time :-(

We'll get there tho

111c wow thats not good at all :S hope you didn't cook anything mate

yeah it works out which way the car is turning and how much power to direct to the front wheels

i wonder if you can spin the rears or get it sideways easier now as the car will sit flatter? or maybe it will be worse?

    • 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 👌
