Guys

Have a read of the attached file

Seems some good news is coming on the Bathurst front :P

Hopefully it will be passed through the relevant authorities built, and opened for public use the same way Oran Park and Eastern Creek are

Here's the proposition:

I think where they want to put it is the huge carpark area mate

Yeah, if they're anti-car they should move IMO. Its like the people that buy a house near an airport then complain about noise

That's locals in any place that is famous for an event or a place of interest.

They have a bunch of tourists (or blow-ins as some may refer to them) coming in for a short time of the year, spending wads of cash on memorabilia and other local products, and then leave.

The locals have to spend all their time there, and become jaded old fogeys who hate the world and anything unfamiliar.

Take no notice of it, and enjoy what you're there for. A great racetrack and a good race (would be greater if Skylines were still there)

The same can't be said for Targa Tasmania. The locals down there love it, by all accounts.

But then Targa isn't the same as Bathurst, so you get proper enthusiasts watching, and usually behaving respectfully, rather than the great unwashed acting like tools and going only because its an "event".

But that's good news. With all the racetrack closures in NSW, its nice to see we'll get something to replace it with. If / when it gets opened for public days, I'll be there.

what a great idea, we can't have enogh permanent circuits in NSW.

From memory the ground there isn't flat either (slopes down away from the mountain) so it shold be interesting to drive

    • 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 👌
