Trying to get a heap of Skylines out to Wed nite test tune 1st March-plenty of warning for all those interested. It would be good to have a heap of Skylines grudge racing out there. could meet at BP Wacol first and have a gentle drive up to willowbank and then hit the strip in force. Love to see side by side Liners going down the strip all nite :lol:

Who is keen????

I'll chuck in some C16 and have a few runs in anger.

I'll even chuck in some prizes for Skyline lite of the nite(best reaction) and most consistant(closest ET's over all runs)maybe Razo gear knob and Greddy oil cap :P

Coming from the goldcoast ud be meeting at the goodna bp.

it is located:

as u come off the logan motorway and onto the ipswich motorway its on ur left about 1k up the road. take the left ater u go up the hill and over the little bridge (train station directly opposite bp)

LOL unfortunatlly RACQ dont go to willowbank for free km;s....

I got towed from the strip 2 years ago after smashing a uni joint... I had Silver membership with 40km for free and when i called they said there are no free km's from willowbank...

So i said i was out the front of willowbank and i me and mates pushed the car out the front past the gates...

When the tow truck driver got there he laughed as we went to the extra effort to get it for free.... In the end i did get free km's but it was touch and go....

BTW ill try to be ready for it... Im waiting on some adjustable caster rods to take the rear camber in a bit before drag racing... Otherwise id wheel spin all the way to 1/8th track....

Ok special deal here....I would like to come out to the test and tune night on the 1st but my g/box is almost cactus so I need it to last until I can gather a grand or so. Is there anyone who would be willing to pick me up and drop me off and I will be able to bring out the consult and some gear. That way you will be able to record your run and later view it to see any points that need adjusting or just a general view on WOT goings on. I can also assist people in changing parts if needed or mechanical advice on the night......anyone?

BTW I live in Capalaba

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
