I was a bit uncertain about the Wine Red colour, but after a while it grew on me.

It's just been washed and waxed and it's looking pretty shiny, only depressing thing is the nice long key scratch along the driver's door that some inconsiderate person done a week ago :O

I'll get it into XCM (Xclusive Colours Modifications) and have the door resprayed in the next few weeks.

Once that is out of the way it will be into Seven Hills Detailing Centre for a full inside and out detail.

[[d a n n y]] - are you located in Sydney or the surrounding area? If so you'll have to come to the Thursday night cruise so we can check it out :D

If anyone know's of a highly recommended Auto Upholstery let me know, I want to get the M35 interior straightened out and in a few minor things glued in place etc.

That's pretty local to both Stephen (Bis-e Bee) and I, Danny, so we should meet up for that Thursday night cruise and head up together...

Stephen, I've got a friend of a friend who I'm going to go and see soon to get some interior work done on my car - he doesn't have a business or work for anyone at the moment, but he takes pride in his work so I'll ask him if I can pass his details on to you. He's local too, which helps! I've already spoken to him a few times, it's just a matter of getting the time to go and actually consult with him to see what he can offer...

Understood Danny, I had mine out on a cruise first day I got it lolz.

You are more than welcome to join us whenever you feel like it, there is always a few Stagea's.

Spotted Nick in the Jolly Green Giant :( and Ian in the pocket sized Fiat.

Probably could have saved some fuel and parked the Fiat in the back of Nick's stag, that's car pooling for ya!

Seen a Red S1 yesterday turning down the old coast road, had "staged" on the number plate.

Then seen a white one heading down south towards busso.

2 stags in 2days pretty rare for the bogan town i live in.

Spotted a darkish Silver WC34 at 6.30pm this evening at the intersection of Vardy's & Sunnyholt Roads, Blacktown (Kings Park).

Didn't get a good view of the front end so I'm not sure if it was an S1 or S2, but it looked pretty neat and tidy...... so did the female occupants :cool:

... hopefully they are not on this forum lol

    • 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 👌
