I've changed my home loan from a std 25 year mortgage to a offset/equity loan. I bought the house 2.8years ago for $85,000 its now been valued by the bank at $110,000. I've got the loan down to $70,000 by paying a bit extra each fortnight for the lasy 2.8years, so I've taken a low offset/equity loan at $82,000. So I've got a bit of extra cash lying around incase I need it, but cos its an offset loan I should pay it off much quicker than the std 25 year loan. Its a bit confusing but I sat down and did the figures, going as I was the 25 year loan would be paid off in another 12 years with the new offset loan it'll be closer to 3-5 years depending on how frugal I am, quicker if my wife gets another job too :( Stupid education dept wont give her a job in the metro area :P So yeah, we want some french doors to open out onto our courtyard and I want to do more work on the car :)

Powerfc will set me back around $1700 delivered new with controller, then plus fitting and tuning. The autronics is $3500 drive in and out, but has boost control built in (if I want to sell the blitz sbc will make the install cheaper), traction control, serial port connection to a laptop with easy to use PC software so I can **** with maps when I know what I'm doing.

    • 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 👌
