Feelin the love in here.

Bought some new nuts (since my missus keeps my current set in her hand bag) to match my soon to be teal brake calipers.

Nice man, my missus is f*cking crazy for teal coloured stuff.

Nice nuts Mat.

Sean, we give to strife because we can.

I get the car on ramps, take off cover, move tray under sump, remove plug, try to catch plug, remove filter and go have a smoke. That usually does it. :)

That's what i did for the oil, but when i went to do the filter i didn't have enough energy to take the sump cover off and get the clamps around the oil filter because it's very tight then i couldn't find the friggin things then i just gave up and wanted to go to sleep.

That's not too bad since it would be much much easier to get the sump cover off. The stock one is such a bitch. You'd think it'd be noisy though wouldn't you? with rocks and shit flying up and hitting it.

On dirt roads maybe - i don't think you'd notice to be honest. mount it with rubber grommets in between to insulate it from the k-frame and you shouldn't get any vibrations or anything.

Sorry they don't make them for boats.

Couple of things:

1- Your car is the same only with less doors, so how many knots does yours so and do you have it tied up at the jetty or marina?

2- ill happily meet you in the bends then say that.

3- the underbody protection plates rareJDM make one that fits sedan and coupe.

I replaced my engine oil last night, so difficult when my car is low as f*ck had to drive the car up on bits of wood to fit the jack in..

Still need to change the filter, i didn't end up finishing the change until about 7:30 last night and i was tired as f*ck so i thought i'd do it next oil change.

Is it normal for my car to use 1L of engine oil in about 7,000km?

Low is when you carry timber in your boot to get into places, cant fit a broom stick under the exhaust box or spark on a daily occurance.

umadbro?

My car is the same as yours except it's easier to get jiggy in the back

Burn!!

there are a few manufacturers. Zspeed also makes them.

Haven't done any research but I have read about one of the versions actually hanging lower than the plastic OEM tray - so that's something i'd be wary of. I'd be keen on one though. I hate taking those trays off - on my mazda the bolts rusted on and I had to literally bend it out of the way, to get the oil filter out - which was a cartridge style meaning i was guaranteed to get oil everywhere.

Trays are a piece of piss. Off in 1 minute.

How?

Get your electric drill, and a bit set with a 10mm socket. Put it in your cordless drill, and remove all the bolts. Job done.

Hey you can get jiggy in the back of mine too, if you're 4 foot tall and feel like breaking your back

After 5 months of going back on forth on the idea i finally debadged my V today and couldn't be happier with the results, will try get sum pics up of the car next week when my holidays start =)

yeah but with ours you open a door and make sweet tender love. with yours you have to wait what feels like century for the seat to come forward then be lego man size and made of rubber to get into the back. 4 doors for more whores!!!

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
