I'm happy with my results 13th and in the top 5 rwds again, but what happened to Ryan he's normally waving the flag at the top. Did you have car troubles mate?

Yeah what was the verdict with the full slicks? Help or hinderence? Did they get warm enough to grip?

Bris,

Getting power down = Dont get out of 1st. In second I tend to nail it more because there's not as much response and I don't want to get caught off the ball.

If you are in 1st, okay you will hit the limiter a bit (something we are both accustomed to) but you always have heaps on tap ready for action.

DON'T GET OUT OF FIRST!

Whatever you do don't tell Mr Brisby to not to use the limiter, it sound so good and he never mind giving it :D .

i am happy i didnt come last ;-) it was fun. all i can say is that i was getting better by the end of the day. long wang killed me plus the first battle. and thankx for the videos martin excellent job.

Yes.. thanks for the video's .... great work :D

LOL...so how do you go so quick on the back track? :laugh: I for the life of me couldnt use the throttle at all on the Long Wang. Even using 3rd gear it was hairy with wheelspin. Good fun and good for scaring passengers but it sure sux when you are actually trying to carry some corner speed :D

Also i'd like to say the skill sets at these things has stepped up a level from everyone, but from what I saw the standout performances were from:

Adz and Mav to get the fastest time on an event.

Gareth for having the hardest launching car of the day and some very consistant times.

Geoff Beable - More than a second quicker than everyone else on the long wang. Amazing!

Pete - Shows what happens when your not more worried about filming yourself.

Craig Moor - A big step up in pace from other DECA's

Snowy - About time you went a touring rally without hitting a cone.

Troy - U scare me on LW, but with concentration and an adjusted handbrake you could finish top three RWD.

James - Didn't look fast, but you were, must have been doing it too easily.

Snowy - About time you went a touring rally without hitting a cone.

Haha - or spinning!

There is no question that the secret to winning these style of events is making no mistakes. Not just in not hitting cones but avoiding spins, going the right way, etc as well. I think this is where the EVO's have the advantage in these types of events as to nail a perfect run in a GT-R (or a RWD car for that matter) you have to be so close to the point of over-cooking the turns. Where as the EVO's are more biased to understeer which will never lose you as much time if you get it wrong as a big oversteer lose will.

But the only reason Gareth and Newton didn't possibly win their respective classes was errors. Make none and you'll be right up the top.

But to make things a little harder for the next one since everyone seems to be getting so much better than when we first started these days - the morning skidpan sessions are probably going to lose the practise runs. We'll keep them out the back for safety reasons but the skidpans will be timed from the start (mostly to make sure we can get through the whole program). Doing this means we should be able to get all the timed runs in and keep the free time at the end which I think everyone enjoys and gives people the chance to mess about. But it means improving map reading skills. :)

wow, i didn't think i did that bad, but i guess that goes to show how you all improved and i haven't... because with that performance a few decas ago i probably would of got top 5 or close to it.

All i've got to say is, DAMN CHEATER EVOS!!!!!

haha oh dear, I thought I had a relatively 'clean' day but looking back on it I spun twice and hit a bunch of cones... one of these days I will get through a deca without hitting anything

amazing that the big Kakimoto did so well, how does he fit it through the gates! well done to everyone the level of driving has definately gone up a notch (not mine lol)

    • 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 👌
