1. What's with the v-opt.co.jp sticker? Every car seems to have it and every car seems to have it in the same place. Who are v-opt.co.jp?

2. I've noticed a lot of drift cars have only a single front windscreen wiper. Is it an expensive conversion? Why would they bother? Would this be illegal in Australia for road use?

Option run the D1 series, part of your entry will be that you have to the sticker on the car.

It is like the Konica stickers on the Konica V8 Supercar series cars. No matter who your sponsors are if you enter the series you have to have those stickers on it.

V opt is the sponsor sticker.

Single wiper is illegal as far as I know.

Proper conversions I think MAY be ok but may require engineering.

I know people who take both off, then put their wiper at a different angle on the stock driver side bolt that turns the wiper.

This results in the wiper being in the middle of the passenger side screen most of the time - i think its stupid.

I would spend the money on doof doof or power :D

Option is a car mag for enthusiasts in japan. They've been goin since like 80's.

Dai is one of the guys who runs Option. They publish Option, OPtion2, Option3 etc, each one is for a different type of car. Option2 is a tuning mag sorta (which is what I collect). Option3 I think is for Kei cars and so on.

v-opt are video option, the AV part of option. They are the major sponsors of the D1 competition.

I'd say do whatever you want to your car :(

it's yours and who cares what anyone else thinks?? you like it and that's all that matters

Yes this is true, and we will all laugh at you...nobody does it here bar the small % of try hards. For the plain and simple fact it's only for race cars involved in D1...do you see anyone going around with F1 logos/decals or touring car decals!

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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 👌
