No haven't received them yet. I was in contact with customs this morning and he was suppose to get back to me this arvo. I will contact him in the morning and update at lunch. If I get them tomorrow you should get it by sat.. We will see tomorrow.. All the paper work is done I just have to receive them..

Just got off the phone with customs. He is organising a courier to deliver the kits for tomorrow morning or arfternoon.. If I get it in the morning I will send the kits tomorrow. If afternoon the day afer... Finally comming to an end. :O

i just looked at your gb#1 web page, the kits are in sydney. im in adelaide. your in brisbane. wouldnt it cost less to get customs to send one straight to me instead of up to you then down again to me or is it a thing of the customs fella's not being able to comprehend this.

just a thought to speed things up and save money.

cheers

Unfortunately I cant do that. As basically I'm the distributor. Customs wont drop ship parcels for me..

Getting the cargo sent up to brisbane does not cost me any more than the ship landing in brisbane. The only thing it does cost is time. Really the cargo should have been sent to brisbane not Sydney. But they though this would be the fastest way, sent to sydney first then to brisbane. They are gonna be lucky little kits seeing all of australia before they make skyline car go fast ;)

received kit. very happy. looks chromed not polished, also only has four joiners so i take it i have to use the stock one as the fith. but again, very happy.

wont have a chance to install it untill the 29th but ill post up any probs ideas i have when i do.

cheers

    • 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?
