Yeh just like on the a5 the wing mirror where mirror attaches to car is rubber and got scraped like a mofo by tree branches looks all scuffed wanna make it look nice again if that makes sense

Also side of windscreen copped it >.<

Autobarn would sell what I'm after?

Yeah for sure mate, I'd say any 'blackening' product would work pretty well on it. Sounds stupid but have you tried toothpaste at all?

I've used it a few times on scuffs and it's worked super well. You could even try using that, buffing, then a blackening product to get it looking schmick ;)

Turtle wax swirl remover isn't bad either, can't remember if that can be used on rubber though.

mothers and all that are shit. Will last you few weeks max.

Let me have a look at it, i got stuff that will work for around 6-8 months.

But depends on what type of plastic/rubber we're looking at.

Talk on fb yo.

Toothpaste Is amazing used it on paint a few times didn't think of it for rubbers worst case ill replace the parts I guess little things shit me :/

Jonno when ya workin this week ill come down need a wash anyway

same stuff would be good for the b pillars and what not?

    • 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?
