Argh the lovely jap exhaust step down

Yep, so if it causes me a problem I'll be looking into getting whatever the quietest exhaust is I can without restricting flow :)

If you end up dropping in to Perth, I'll show you what a real free-flowing exhaust sounds like ;) Lol.

You can definitely get true 3" exhausts that are within legal limits. Best bet is custom though, don't go off the shelf stuff. With custom you can tell them exactly what you want and how you want it to sound, anyone who is good at what they do will be able to give you exactly that.

nice

good luck , once we fitted the poncams in mine got louder sounded awesome,cant wait for new set up to be finished so can know what it sounds like now

Yeah someone said it gets a deeper note, did you run Type A's or B's? Did it change the idle/drivability much?

What mods are you doing now?

Update -

Boost controllers is in

044 is assembled ready to go in

Haltech wiring will start tomorrow

Wide band wiring is done, need to mount the gauge.

ECA wires are run just need to mount and connect the sensor.

The boys are completing the springs and retainers install as we speak, cams will go in next

No idea... Ill get pics etc when i go get the car (Of the old springs) to show what they meant...

HKS Exhaust cam gear was added to the list today :D

Any reason behind not heat wrapping your exhaust mani?

It will be removed and HPC coated properly with the rear housing as well..... It was bolted up and forgotten about :dry: Heat wrapping that thing would take 2 years to do!

Anyway, some random updates -

They're not wasting any time with yours man, looking good.

Ask them if they wanna fly over here real quick and rebuild my head. For free.

They are getting into it man! :thumbsup:

Ill ask the question, i am sure they will want too just cus your a top bloke :P

I am pretty keen to get Chris to heat coat the 6Boob and the rear housing... And i may still get that 4" intake pipe redone in more of a factory look, i wasnt overly happy with the finish on it...

Yeah your right you need to get more stuff heat coated : )

Did u shield the ABS unit on your setup? (assuming high mount yeah??) I am

Wondering if it's going to cause me dramas or not? And the wiring loom near the manifold is probably an issue too... PS lines? Damn heat!!!

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