its too hard to explain over the phone so you gotta take it to autoworx along with the LED unit, which unscrews from the wing. and then you gotta heat it up and then open it,

and then reseal with sikaflex etc. but thats the cheapest way to fix it as they are expensive

not to sure yet, as im still looking at what to get, ken can get me a set of aus spec coilover for around $2,000, but i might just get aset of HKS HyperMax II as they around only $1,700 and with the shipping/gts ect it should only be alittle more than the aus spec ones, but im also going 2 look at the apexi ones 2

hmm so your p roject will basically be $1000 for the car $4000 for body repairs $2000 for spray

$2000 for Sr20

$5000 of labour and small things required for conversion

$1200 for wheels

yeah you will want to be driving that on the weekend from the look of it.

and your line will still beat it.

I think coilovers are major overkill especially when paying new prices for them,

paul might even have a shock sitting round for like $30 thats a better way to go.

i mean with your project car and all. Do you own mcdonalds by any chance??

your front lights arent in place right because they have been sikaflexed in place but whoever installed it originally.

so if you want to heat it up or cut them out and then mount them again, feel free, but i can tell you know its alot of messing around.

i would have done it, but its too much fiddling and also wiring the lights etc was all too much to do after all the stuff i did to make it presentable and clean and neat

riaz, its a project car which means it doesnt have 2 be ready untill along time away. I want to get the coilover 1st before anything else.

Im looking to get the a86 in about 3months do alot of the work myself and learn on the car.

I just wanna get the coilovers, with hieght adj. so it kind of solve 2problems

    • 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 👌
