i had 'exhaust tech' in adelaide install the front mount. they used a rb25det kit (r32, 33 i think). the front bar needed to be modified a bit, nothing too serious, just a trim. the cooler fits perfectly you can hardly even notice it. the pipe work required one hole to be cut in the body and the window washer bottle was replaced (too big).

sorry i cant really give a step by step guide as i had this item proffesionally installed. i did watch the whole process so i may be able to answer specific questions.

cheers, doug.

ps, this car will be advertised on carsales.com soon and also local adelaide papers.

Well, as he said, it seems the R33 GTST one lines up all fine and stuff. So any hybrid/chinese style cooler pipes.

So basically, any jap pipe kit would work, but the issues with those pipes kits is that you have cut a hole in the body under the battery tray, where here in tightass victoria, that could cause problems with the po-leece. Naturally, the water bottle needed to be moved, ive noticed that in the stagea they are extra extra large (i think i put 3L in mine last time i filled it up)

Its good to know now that the R33 GTST pipes fit. Thanks mate.

yeah, the washer bottle does the front and back. its also got 2 motors on it. the one that i had put in is from a s15 i think and only has one pump. so when i squirt the water i wash the front and back at the same time!! its actually pretty cool.

my stagea is silver. (and for sale, and in ADELAIDE :)

yep, the r33 kits do the job perfectly, they come with instructions for those who are techinally minded. also you have to trim the radiator fan, i forgot that bit, its in the instructions...

    • 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 👌
