Home from work, was sick this morning, but now I'm fine

So spent a few hours working on the front bar I'm playing with to learn how to do body work... I'm scared that it's coming up too well now and I might actually use it as my real front bar :/

Leeeeeroooooyyyyy, can I please borrow your spray gun? I wanna give this a shot.

Also where's a good place in S.E or Bayside where I can get some QM1 mixed up? Also going to need some high fill primer... where to go?

i used a joint in hastings for my qm1. was mint. the clear i got, however was not.

Pretty much I've got ZERO experience with automotive paints, so if any of you guys want to lend a hand or offer advice... please do. Also, will be painted in my garage... I'm going budget here, plastic sheeting to make a makeshift spray booth :D

Sounds like overspray time... You need ventilation and airflow away from the car.

old airport road hawker centre.

shopping?

see MBS, universal studios, our gardens by the bay,

singapore airport, spend as much time behind the customs gates, because it's that awesome.

did someone say old airport road hawker centre?

yep what scotty says.....

you need to keep as much dust way from the paint as possible.....

make sure you get the mixture right and practice on some thing smaller to get the flow right.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
