I got out to the Mallala track day for a spin on the GSXR race bike.

I'm almost 3 seconds off the pace, but I'm happy with my 1m20s considering I'm back from a serious injury. But I'd love to be doing 1m17s again :(

Had a few mates on their bikes out on the track, and I had fun "carving them up". My mate's were on 1000s and they were a bit miffed they couldn't catch me on my 600 :) Ah, it was good to have a bit of fun!

Went to a BBQ with them last night, and had a few good yarns about the day ... including the mobile food fight between our van can my mate's car on Port Wakefield Road at 110kph on the way out there :D

speaking of drift hacks, ive got 46 days to fix a whole heap of shit on mine

getting the other headlight working

power steering rack

alignment

radiator re-core

maybe re-bracket my intercooler so its not held by one bracket and a cable tie

get a silicone reducer joiner so i dont blow my crossover pipe off the rest of my piping (those out last nite will know what im talking about)

and god knows what else

going to attempt to rip out my a/c stuff too (never used it, never gotten round to ripping it out either)

Anyone able to clarify here? I'm useless as tits on a bull when it comes to suspension. In the pic below, the part that's circled, is that the tie rod? Just need to know as mine is bent and needs replacing, just unsure if I buy brand new from Nissan or go to the wreckers and grab one

    • 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.
