oh how i agree with this statement.

also agree - but it's also much harder as a seller to convince someone to take the responsiblity to obtain a RWC. Even more so because of how damn hard it is to get one these days!

I sold a car three weeks ago - first place i took it to RWC they said it was 5mm too low (!!), needed 4 new tyres (camber worn, fair enough) , needed the indicator globes changed from chrome 'stealth' globes back to orange glass, needed the rear wiper reinstalled (had a glass delete plug in) - and that the windscreen was sandblasted (a 3 yrd old car - the window didn't have a single chip in it). The amount of stuffing around involved in getting those things rectified before taking it to a second mechanic who would pass the windscreen was insane. It took me a week, cost around $600 that I had not factored into the agreed price that I sold it for, 400km's of driving and a lot of missed time from work.

So replacement car, I made it 1000% clear the seller would organise RWC.

Can't remember the name of the place where I got my RWC but I will PM you anyway.

The car pulled 1.01G (G force) while braking from 45km/h with cold brakes lol. He was quite impressed.

He passed this:

HOLY MOTHER OF STRUT BRACES :O

Unfortutanley the time has come for the car to go Paul, so if within a couple of months it's not sold as is, I'll put it back to stock.

If you're interested mate, we can easily work something out when the time comes :)

Hahaha yeah, that's all good mate. Probably won't happen till about late Feb-early march anyway.

Thanks mate, hopefully she sells. Otherwise, I'ma raid your bank LOL :P

and my engine bay by the sounds......

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
