Well the set up is complete

booked for 5/12/14 Mick at Ovaboost will be tuning the car.Have gone with totally different parts from what I originally planned.Sold most things i had.As of now these are the mods

-gt3082 1.06 rear

-high mount steam mani

-50mm pro gate

-750cc bosch injectors

-Aftermarket front facing plenum

-bosch fpr

-Splitfires

-bigger throttle

-Haltech platinum pro

-pro flow fittings all around

-plus more

I'll post up photo of engine bay when im on comp.im expecting big power and the haltech is able to do alot of great things

Yes and it has alot of features too, boost can be controlled by the ecu using a mac, launch control & no need for afm . Engine bay looks really mint. One thing I've learnt Is that buy parts that you're going to use 110% well most things always don't go your way:/.

Here are photos. I went with blue. Tuner will do welding & other fabrication needed.

wow crazy how time flew by and life got busy.Qualified in my field of work, travelled the world ( including jdm land) & matured up etc. I was just 19 when i bought my 33, reading back i can see how excited i was! now 28 still excited but rational! kept the 33 till 2020,plenty of events attended and i enjoyed that car, met and made alot of friends, been to world time attack, gtr festival,racewars,tokyo autosalon, snowy mountains 1,000 & plenty of other events. Bought a 32 gtr back in 2016 that car ended up making 600whp on e85 did powercruise and was a solid street car, ultmately threw a rod (typical rb26 stuff). Sold the 33 to finish off my 32 gtr build, Nitto 3.2 stoker kit cnc ported head, samsonas rs90, precision 7675, emtron ecu,mechanical fuel pump aiming for 1200+8sec. Gtr build isnt far off  being done. Cant thank everyone enough for the replies, the little knowledge helped me alot to venture into other things. Now i can pull out an engine, pull it apart and put it all back into a car etc. I'll do a final post for the R33 with photos before i sold it. If you would like to follow the gtr build its on insta under 90s_hero_32. The car scene has changed alot, everyone is car enthusiast apparently & you must respect them even with a junk build filled replicas, china spooly boy. SAU keeps the egos down compared to other socials.

    • 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?
