didnt say i was going to dye it - going to keep it blonde ..... and it wont be going too short cos i hate short hair - just got chop some of these dead ends off and make it healthy again.

Yeah as much as I would love to have the flashiest, fastest , most powerfull car here, I know that I should be putting some money away for a house too.... Thats why I have only done the small mods....

Changing the turbo is a big/expensive mod though... change the turbo then you probably need to change the fuel pump, emgine management, fuel injectors,wastegate,dump pipe and anything else I cant think of!!!!

Tell me what you think the next stage of mod would be for my car though.... the only thing I can thionk of really is a lightened flywheel...

Bah even with almost 300HP I still cant crack a 13 sec pass at the plex.... granted I have only ever been once though :)

Yeah but having 3 or 4 PS2's hooked up and racing your friends should keep us entertained for a while :D

I will look at the cruise next Sunday but I play Superleague crikcet sunday afternoons so I may not be able to make it because I believe the cruise is going into the hills???

    • 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?
