The SAU Challenge:

Had enough practice? Then post up your times and include:

- The track

- The level of electronic assists you used ie traction control, stability control, ABS

I'm still mega sh*t so I need more practice before I crack a decent lap.

GREAT :thumbsup:

the team did better than expected 12th outright - was as good as a win for them. They got a podium for the Carrera Cup race as well. Got to spend the 2 days in the teams corporate area with the sponsors and Porsche drivers.

didn't get to talk to Brighty though, just g'day as he walked past

i think i can knock off a second or 2 off that lap as it included a small visit to the grassy bits

at the moment thats as fast as i can get

wow that's quick considering you did it with no aids!

I just did a 2.24.288 with TCS off, DSC on, and ABS o

i have been playing SIMS from this company for nearly 3 years now so i am used to how they drive.

lets pick a track and all do that one yeah?

my time will be shit but when i try again will be aids off

and since Nick posted time first on Nurburgring GP lets keep that as the benchmark?

I was really impressed with Bowe running in the top 10, it's a pity he didn't finish there. But still a great job! I was looking for you throughout the coverage but JB's garage wasn't covered too well.

I managed to knock off .400 off that time as well but that's pretty much my limit. Now I'm trying with all assists off.

i just had a look into the lap times of some of the Europeans and they are down to 2.11 - 2.13 around the GP with no aids !!!!!

how depressing

i spent most of the time when the car was out on track in the PCR corporate areas with their Carrera Cup drivers, some top blokes in there

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
