Rb25 with a 2530 is a good setup. It has awesome punch out of corners. A friend let me drive his R33 at Wakfield with a similar setup...great fun, it even had 18 semis :P

Looks like th peckign order this year is going to be changed...looks like Matt is away early and if Wayne can fix the miss it shodl be somehting to keep a close eye on as well

MSPEC - From what I hear its the stainless manifolds that crack not the cast ones, so I'm assuming its the front pipe coz its stainless..... Thanks for the compliment, ur car sounded pretty horn on the straight!!!! The problems started on my last supersprint...

Spot on :)

Great read, been following this thread lately... good for some laughs too :P

What happened to Clayton, did he have a bit of a lose.  hope the car is ok.

Luckily only a small tap on the rear bumper and some paint down the right side but amzaingly no panel damage at all! LUCKY MOFO! :lol:

Rex club not happy with itself? Too bad. Would have been a good event except the massive wait when they stopped for tea (OK I've been watching the cricket) so I decided to go home.

Only got a couple of pics due to the holdup and this was the only decent one.

Yeah never good to see a line against a wall :P even if it wasn't a big hit. Clayton - hope it doesn't hit the hip pocket too much and you get back out there in no time.

Whats all this hissy fit about on the wrx forum??

The hold up was due to the fact that we didn't have another set of flaggies to swap over. We can't ask flaggies to stayout from 5pm - 11pm without bringing them in for a break, some food, toilet etc..

Ideally we'd be able to swap them over in 5 minutes if we could get some of the other clubs racing with us to rustle up some flaggies too...hint wink wink nudge.. :P

I'd normally be straight out there but I might end up with Flaggie of the Year :P

Seriously though I'm just unable to be tied to one spot for too long since the spinal surgery. And I agree on the flaggies too, events don't happen without them and they can't be abused or they don't come back. I'll see how I'm going for Sandown as it appears I won't get to race here (in Vic) again.

I finally got a look at what's going on in the other thread mentioned earlier, and there is some bad EGO going on in the Rex club. I just hope ours survives without going there. You have my sympathies Mike because there are clearly some good guys in the club, but it seems some want to use their time in the club or position on the commitee as a weapon and Ego enhancer. Most of us just buy a faster car/bigger engine if our peckers are too small. There is also no room for humour. Time for a reality check.

Feoff, has anyone ever said your car in upir avatar looks like a VN Group A?  :rofl:

Wont be doing another Vic trackday?  Mate if my car is ready we have to tag team my car! Done! And no arguments

'sif I could get my ass in your seat......

You back and on the sauce already? Just wait till I tell the spelling Nazi's :Oh squizzz:

Fair payback for dissin' my mobile BBQ calling it a commonwhore.

Budge I hear you mate, and I bet there are few who put their hands up for commitee jobs because of it. Tell you what, ditch 'em and come join us, just leave the Superman suit behind.

Not to mention there's a lot of idiots online these days as Snowy has just demonstrated with outstanding skill...

:D

Makes it easy to have him as prez so we have a great target. Stops anyone thinking they are too special or precious....

:rofl:

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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 👌
