someone who has one might be able to answer, you never hear someone with a covercraft say they are anything but quality though

not sure how much the autotechnica ones are but i normally find their products pretty average and as with most things its a case of you get what you pay for

Japanese History Check do take a while to respond, but I don't think it's entirely their fault. I believe to get the info they need it requires some action from the Japanese department of transport (and if it's anything like ours... Enough said). Either way I've used them a few times and they've been an excellent help.

I've tried to follow this thread as best I can but I'm a little lost. Are you looking to buy the $45k car in the ACT? Great price provided it hasn't had any damage. If it has, and that's what you're in the market for, you can import some 'R' grade cars with minor accident history for less than what he's asking. Use a good importer to guide you of course. Just a thought... Might be worth considering.

I won't be paying 45 and I'll reserve judgement on it til I've seen it.

For the initial agreed price, apparent condition based on pics, and the parts fitted, I think it represents quite good value given where some think this market is headed.

See how it looks on Monday.

    • 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 👌
