Hello ladies and gents,

I am planning on welding some dash fittings onto the breathers, and wrinkle coating my rb25 covers.

This would be a bit of a waste for whoever it was that polished these covers, so if anyone wants to swap their standard/ rattyish looking covers for a polished pair here is your chance.

The only major condition to meet, is that you must be the errand/delivery boy and come to me :D

These aren't 100% perfect. I am happy to post up some pictures of the imperfections if anyone wants to see them, but for the 'price', complaining would be a little dickish now wouldn't it :P

Cheers,

Jono.

very minor marking down outside face, most of what can be seen is from my grimey hands

Bit dirty as you can see, they have been sitting around for quite some time. Suggest a good thorough clean out.

Cash incentives could allow me to turn a blind eye to queue jumping :whistling:

Cash incentives aaaayyyyy???

I aint no toe stompin' grass cutter, but I am heaps keen.

If Kasko wants em' then so be...

But I do have a pair sitting beside a large pile of cash. LOL

See how it goes.

Go for it ya dream boats if he has a spare pair sitting around then that will be quicker then me removing mine etc.

What's this you hear about the good ol Manuel ay

Good/strange things I hope

And if it's about that old lady and the grass hopper. She asked for it

    • 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.
