Why don't you try to bend some PVC piping out on the ends to create the shape of the duct and then paint it black. It is really easy stuff to mold with some heat. :)

Yeah, I'll look at rolling some sheet to the right shape once I receive the bar. If I can get it to look good, I'll probably go that way.

Had a look through other pieces of paper/brochures etc for any other identifiying part number, but no cigar. Page from the Parts bok attached (Same as Cam's Fast search)..

Aero Bumper Parts Book.pdf

Thanks for having a look, that was about as far as we could get too. Appreciate the effort.

Cheers, Dale.

Foglights needed for Aero bar? :thumbsup:

Auction Ends today:

http://page.auctions...ction/141644226

Nice find, thanks!

I've got Aaron from IM on the case, looking for the lights & surrounds for me.

Cheers, Dale.

I won these...but now I have a feeling they won't fit on my aero bar without some other parts....arrgh

For the record, they're more or less exactly what bolts into my Kenstyle front bar - I dont have any other parts/surrounds, so it could be okay

Do the grey blanking plates bolt or clip in by any chance?

I have seen a few that have neither the blanking plates nor the fog lights and there is a frame there with four holes (from memory)

The blanking plates are clipped on I think...Or bolted. Either way they can come off...

I take it that the connectors to operate the foglights should be there?

So if I turn on these foglights they will come on along with the built in foglights?

if you really wanted you could probably wire them to a secondary switch.

you could have only the fogs on then if you wanted.. looks nice imo

Thats what I've got, but mine stay off because its illegal to drive with fog lights on if its not foggy or misty :rolleyes:

really?

It isn't in Vic i dont think..

I think its SA specific, Im not sure how increasing your visibility (Both to be seen and to see) is a negative - but apparently it is :worship:

According to the Department of Transport, Energy and Infrastructure, and I quote:

Drivers can only use front fog lights in hazardous weather conditions. This brings the rule into line with the existing situation for rear fog lights. Use of fog lights in other conditions can dazzle oncoming drivers. Previously front fog lights that dazzled approaching drivers were dealt with as an offence under a different rule.

Thats right, they'll dazzle you. Awesome. Thanks government.

    • 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.
