just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

What about drifting them? :P Last time I was there I was chucking it into the corner just after the straight as quick as I could and sliding the whole thing as it tightened up :(

Giving the brakes a huge stab coming into the corner after the back straight is a bit of fun too :D

Yeah I can imagine that'd be grounds for a talking to :P

It was only 2 karts on the track when I was doing so even if I lost all momentum (which is often in the slow Kart Mania rigs) then it wasn't a big deal :D I was just trying to get angles :(

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

yeah ive been there older than that youngsta :( do they still have the big bouncy thing? it used to be a lil diff with a harder top making it better for getting crazy air

and yes dont bother with their go karts

spose its a good thing i was planning on pulling my engine out sometime soon. went down to the local bp to fill up, walking back to the 200 i noticed something dripping, so popped the hood, had a poke around, seem to be weeping coolant from around the turbo.

also had some old codger mumble to me (with my head in the engine bay) on his way past; "stupid hoons, hope your cars broken". :( stupid old codger doesnt even know me...

doesnt seem like much of a big deal though, just need to keep a couple litres of demineralised water in the car just in case.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

pantera with a bodykit. would love a pantera, but the 'devil' seems a bit silly, really.

much love for the cosmo. but daily fuel consumption to rival a C-17 globemaster on take off puts me off a little.

Did you reply with 'hey how'd you like to lose a bunch of teeth' Peter Griffin style? :P

Did you hav ethe aircon on while you were going to the servo? If you did i think i know where the water was comming from.

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

was going to buy a cosmo prior to the stagea

but couldnt even get behind the wheel - made for small people

tune tomorrow, just a quick little one. cant afford anything atm, bills to pay but no money

so, probably just an hour on the dyno mapping 2nd and 3rd gears, for air:fuel ratios and slight fuel/timing adjustments

got a set of 3-guages to go into a din slot, and the injector setup but no moolah to pay for install, yet

anyone interested in ecu eprom tunes?

eventually want to get a wideband sensor, rom tuner and muck around with mine, learn etc, then offer a service to remap r33's on a local dyno?

theyre pretty awesome... if you happen to own a petrol refinery. if you dont, well, youre screwed.

yeah, the fastest car I've been in was a Turbo rotary with 320rwkw. Awesome engines if you don't break apex seals!

i seriously think a decent 20B on idle would go toe-to-toe with a C17 on fuel consumption. ive driven a cosmo with a full exhaust, front mount, couple more pounds of boost, and i could see the fuel gauge dropping in peak traffic. its f**king crazy.

    • 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 👌
