after a little bit of research, i decided this was the route i wanted to take, and found a shell that had basically everything minus what is included in this package.

***pics soon***

mods that i am planning to install to get the car running:

HSD - HR Type Coilovers http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/hrseries.htm

KAAZ L.S.D - Basic - 1.5 Way http://www.slidingperformance.com/store/in...mp;productid=74

future mods that aren't so important:

- haven't decided yet, but either 17" or 18" wheels with a decent offset

- comfy bucket seats for driver and passenger

- gauges, boost controller etc.

- upgraded brakes (rotors, pads and brake lines)

iv been looking around at different brakes, ecu's, coilovers and gauges and decided on the following:

dba slotted rotors, hawk hps performance pads, goodridge braided brake lines, tien super street coilovers, defi gauges and a kaaz lsd (probably a 2way).

after i while of getting used to the car il be upgrading to a microtech ecu with hand controller, aluminium radiator and some 17" rims.

God damn a 1J in there will be pretty crazy to drive I reckon. They go good in a fat arse soarer imagine it with only 1250 kgs to push!

Just out of intrest sake do you know what your 1J weighs?? and is it VVTI?

Cheers.

went down to see the progress today. just waiting on my mate to email me the pics.

during this week:

-custom crossmember and custom engine mounts were made

-engine was prepped and dropped in place

-the coilovers and slotted rotors that i supplied are installed

-put on a T70 turbo

-hicas lock bar installed

by next weekend when i go down next, most of the wiring will be done, fmic will be installed, and exhaust will probably be done.

    • 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?
