Personally love being able to see it :P has anyone actually had any issues with it being visible?

I like to see it too.In fact when my engine was out i used some metal polish on mine,it came up like new.I've had know issues yet. :D

Bought a boost gauge to replace the shitty apexi ripoff i've been borrowing of my mate

Hopefully it still lights up

Also, anyone have any idea what the dial does? I can push it in and twist it, but nothing happens :wacko:

Could be a reset for a peak hold function?

This was found on driftworks -

Just for anyone who wants to know you push it in, turn it 90degrees and let it go. It should kinda click into place and not come back out fully. Then when you drive on full boost it sticks on the highest boost. The button not coming out fully seems to hold some of the pressure in the gauge to keep the needle at the peak boost.

Maybe, I guess I'll find out when I put it in :-)

thats the same brake up grade i have, let me know how the varex goes ?

Did you use the r32 gtr calipers as well as the 32 rotors or did you use the stagea disks. If you used the 32 rotors did you encounter any issues (besides mounting hole size diferences)

. Rotors remained the same they put spacers on due to the rims

I've got gtr rotors. 296x32.

Mounting holes, dust covers and a slight shave off the alloy hub has them fitting. Just need a couple mm clearance on the hub, and nothing structural.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
