How did you find the fit of the rear over fenders? I've bought these from Viva already, wondering how much extra work is in yours thanks.

Well we haven't moulded them on yet, but they seemed to line up pretty good, the only thing extra we are doing is a bit of trimming to stop sideskirts hitting (not viva's issue), and extend the fibreglass that goes around the fuel cap, if u know what im talking about.

what are you gunna have to do to get the rear wheels under and fitting nicely? do the fronts have any scrub issues?

loving the build mate!

as soon as im back in australia after my stint in london im keen to start a build..

the hardest bit is deciding what car to start with. s13 or 14, 32 or 33, or just buy a gtr and tidy it up. argh!!

good luck mate.

cheers adam

hey mate, prob just a bit of camber, the rims will still stick out a little but thats what im going for. we had a little bit of scrubbing on the front bar from the front tyres but thats all sorted now, just had to push the bar a little forward.

If i was picking out of those 4 cars, obviously i went the 32 first, my next build is going to be a 34. but if not i would go an s14. Good luck!

rear guards are trimmed, over fenders refitted and drove it about 15km to the painters place, now just paint to go for the body, then new coilovers, camber arms and toe arms cheers.gif

    • 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 👌
