Tinyest of updates from me

The 31 was off the road while i repaired a bit of rust (not 100% done because i couldn't get my hands on a mig)

Had to get some new rear tyres so was wearing stockies for a little bit

haha, for lolz (got a few paint pens on ebay, got bored after doing the tyre writing on 1 tyre so started attacking the engine bay)

also, out of picture is the "flux capacitor"

my housemate also painted the inside of the front mudflap fluro orange :glare:

im thinking the angle grinder might make an appearance sometime, but its already a pretty dodgy car (mainly dying gearbox and super worn bushes)

WTF is that on your gearbox :):D ? Is that a "pipster ockey clutch special" or am I seeing things here....

Haha, yep

Otherwise the clutch fork comes off the pivot ball and the clutch slave goes on an angle and the pedal gets heavy sometimes

Guess the guy that did the clutch for me f**ked something up,

meh, it works I guess

Pretty dodgy tho

yeam mine has the hectic black guards, and a ful sik HKS exhaust which seems to neither add power nor change the noise, just looks different.

Yours has been lowered a fair bit too I think, looks good.

Keeping the Stag as my weekender: but just put a deposit on a Toyota 86: due in December at this stage... :)

december really?? friend of mine has been on toyotas back about it. took one for a test drive on monday (which was an auto because the other person who booked in a test drive wanted auto......lame) and they told him 12 months wait time......seems a bit silly

this is pretty long gone now, but was fun while i had it

    • 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?
