hey,

soz hotsky for not callin , got pissed off cause i could not get a frigin car park in all bloody city, so i just went home, yeah i think next time we need to organize a better place than station pier, it should be sumwhere closer to calder so there is no excuses as to where to meet ands u have to go there anyway, so u cant say it is to far for me to go there, ramble, ramble, ramble............

u know what i mean...............

i will be in the next round of drags as i will be there around 5-6pm so u will have to meet me there...................hehe

**** australian cars, go jap go!!!

yup! There were a few (rx7, 180's) but not as few as I might have expected. I reckon we get a few of our cars on there and at least have something interesting to see and talk about!

Next weekend I should have my nice chromies on, but unforunately its not looking too photoworthy at the mo' due to big crack in front bar...washed it before and its still there :):D sniff..

I bought a fibreglass kit yesterday so its time i learned how to fibreglass. Should be able to fix it as good as new, but its going to take some time.

none of the SAU guys ran their cars..jet 33 watched and videoed   there were 2 lines that i remember, a white 33gtr ran 12's i think  and black 33 plates'ohbehave'(a 10 sec car apparently!) but driver was running 12.70's

that OBHAVE or whatever it is car was in an issue of speed maagzine as some sort of crazy skyline that is well known all around australia as one of the fastets road cars, it was in the issue with the blue WRX and 180 on the front, i think it was issue #3, i left mine on the plane on the way home from my holiday (wanted to keep the da,nm photos of the gold GTR in there they had a huge review on) but oh well shit happens

If its one of Australia's fastest, he sure wasn't Australia's best driver! ;) A few GTS-T's should be able to hit the 12's that are on SAU (spread out all over Australia though).

He seemed pretty young though - did he build up the car himself or did he buy it from somebody like that already??

    • 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.
