My beemer has them. its a huge convience beaing able to work on the engine without having to worry about bumping the supporting rod.

Just a thought - What if theres a fire in the engine bay and you need to put it out urgently, it would be easier to pop the bonnet open straight away rather than to fiddle around for the stick, wasting precious time till your precious RB gets burnt

hmmm from what i've seen these kits bolt into on of the side guard bolt holes... then attach under the hinge bolts onto the bonnet. not sure if our cars would have enough room for the strut to fold in between it.

wouldn't mind doing it, shouldn't hard.. just gotta have the right fitting on the end.

Check these links. Seems to be a straight bolt on. I'm up for buying these at around $200. but Nengun does not have them.

If people wanna buy these, maybe we could but them together to save on postage?

i would really like to do this too. Wouldn't know where to start either though. Can someone please do it and put up a diy. :) $400 is a bit much for a bolt on kit really good idea though should have some out standard like that.

as you can see i am lazy i don't wont to figure out how to do it nor do i want to put my bonnet stay up all the time. hehehe :P

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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 👌
