yep good idea if you just want a cheap run around

the one i got is 2004 and v cheap, sure it aint perfect but who cares

the ba's i looked at starting price is around 6500 to 7k for mid 150,000+ on them

but still in v good condition and hardly anything wrong

even with stuff wrong, still v cheap to fix

i was looking and low 200,000models for around 6k as well

its funny

the market value for a 1988 vl calais turbo is 4k to 6.5k

yet the market value for a 2004 ba falcon goes from 4000 to 5400 i think

Try closer to 10k Paul for a calais turbo, upto easy 15k. ;)

IN other news... SAU Nats DVD is ready! Anyone coming on GOR can get them early :)

RAAAGGGEEE! Another night goes past .... still the harmonic balancer bolt stays tight. Cannot get it undone. Everything has been tried. 3/4in drive rattle guns, breaker bars, proping breaker bars and cranking the car .... nothing is getting this bolt undone :(

any suggestions?

    • 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 👌
