but didnt you say your biggest problem was having the rear wheel lift up and lose traction when trying to get into your steep driveway? making things stiffer will mean youll be parking in the street...

ive got no bracing, and yet i can still hear the pillars creak when i try to get over my driveway gutter

Yeah i did have a problem but since i live on a hill i just come in from the top way and roll in on an angle. I had problems befpre because i was going in uphill.

Would I be correct in saying that delivery date is likely to be minimum 8 weeks from 31 July?

You said 6 weeks for production in the opening post, so I figure a week or so to deliver to Australia, then about a week for them to reach the individual states?

Sounds about right........give us a couple of days to process payments to OX though.

Mark....I don't have a defined date.....but I would think toward the end of next month for delivery.

Are you coming to Sydney to pick it up? I want to see a good looking V35: P

Hahahah V35 - yes, good looking - no!! Its not looking the best at the moment but no point doing anything because of the stagea nose. yeah ill travel to sydney if its not to far out of the way. I felt so embarrassed picking up the front brace and stag bar of dale with a damaged front end.

ETA is about right there!

These are a special order which Ox are making for us - i was told 6 weeks from payment to have them completed, then allow another week or so for delivery. When we first contacted Ox they only had 1 in stock as they do now according to their website (bottom number in table next to first image is 'no. in stock'): http://www.oxmotorsports.co.jp/7_9.html

As soon as we know more, either Craig or i will advise in this thread...

    • 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.
