lol wipers aren't working. Doesnt matter if the engine pops 1 minute after rego transfer, you're in the clear.

This is what mechanical inspections and roadworthies are for. Tell him to take it up with whoever he did (or didn't) get to inspect the car, or the RWC workshop.

Cashed my points in for $230

Considering I'd never paid a cent of interest at that point, it wasn't a bad deal

I like my BankWest Breeze Mastercard - low interest and 5% cashback on all 'daily living purchases' such as Coles, Shell, etc. some months I get ~$50 cash for just using my credit card although I'm not sure they're offering that deal anymore to new users: http://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/credit-cards/compare-credit-cards/breeze-mastercard-low-rate-credit-cards

Never paid a cent of interest as I always pay it back before the due date :)

First night on melatonin @ 2.5mg (half tablet)...so far so good. Vivid dreams (got caught touching myself in public, wtf); still woke up a couple of times in the early hours of the morning; don't feel as tired as I normally do, could be placebo. More testing required.

I tend to get more dreams on them too, or at least, dreams I wake up and remember.

Yeah for worst case scenario I've got a couple of 5mg Valium here to knock me right out.... But wouldn't be taking the whole thing

I was only taking 1mg in Thailand and those knock you out pretty good anyway

I wish Valium knocked me out, little to no effect. Benzodiazepam-based sleeping tablets don't work on me - I've taken 4 in one day after 3 days of no sleep - no effect. I ended up walking around Times Square New York at 4am eating Pizza after taking them lol. Stilnox on the other hand - miracle worker. It knocks me out cold. I've managed to make the packet of 14 (they limit supply massively) last probably a good 4-5 months, just getting to the end now. Had to take one last night as I had my usual Sunday night unable to sleep after two long sleeps in a row. The only side effects I get are a very dull headache all day - like I've had all today. Panadol gets rid of that. Melatonin usually gets me by during the week, and then I take a break and sleep without it Friday/Saturday as my body knows there's generally nothing to wake up for/be anxious about the next morning.

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
