Yeh its probably the same as your in terms of response but definitely there is a top end. It's just kept pulling on top end.

Yeah true, -9's give you good top end with the response of the -7's.

Your engine looks nice and clean as with Mine's Purple colour.

Nice bay callan, love that manifold and turbo setup. Who made the manifold? U though about putting the washer bottle in front of the fuse box?

Just relocate it to the boot like mine :P When you break heavily the transition spurts water out the sprayers

This catch can set up, do you have anything else running to it that i cant see? or are the two top pipes it? it can be done this way because u have a filter to the atmosphere correct?

Anyone

This was yesterday, metallic silver goes down first then the translucent candy apple over the top. Obviously it gets darker the more you apply it.

hot mate!

are you a spray painter by trade??

Also rb25 and 26 coil covers are they all plastic??

rajab damn!

Not a massive job to get the 26 covers on bud. I had them on my 25 and loved it!

Main issue is the PCV as on the 26 covers, there's nowere to plumb it. I deleted my PCV so was a non-issue for me. Other than that, pretty straight forward :)

thanks mate... i just have a long list to do to finish it before Aug. was hoping tidying up the engine covers was a simple take it off get them powder coated and screw back on... Not knowing the rb25 covers are different to the rb 26 ones i got done on my gtr

    • 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?
