Huge thanks to the usual crew for organising this again.

Great to see a heap of new faces as well!

I'd personally like to thank those who stopped by the side of the road after Deca to help my mate's stranded S13...you're all champions...

who go stranded?

I hope its not phil :devil: , did he manage to fix his wheel before driving back?

yep another great DECA, heaps of fun :D

Got to admit, after the morning skidpan session, i was very demoralised, and ready to kill whoever came up with the idea of steering AND driving the same wheels :devil:

But, by the end of the day, was driving it a fair bit better, and having a ball :D the open diff really makes it easy to find the rev limiter :D

Long and Mini wangs were great as usual, got me pumped for more circuit work...i.e. Philip Island weekend next month :D

Got a decent list of jobs to do to the car as well now; #1 - get the handbrake to work...

and of course, BIG thanks to all the organisers and volunteers. wouldn't have happened without ya!

Great weekend! Most fun ive had in a while. Only thing is i left my spare wheel behind at deca so if anyone grabbed it please PM me. Thanks to all the organisers and helpers.

Will definately be at the next one!

had a great weekend thanks guys, even though i didnt compete i had a great time as an official and it was fun watching people lock up and drag the cone bout 5 meters from where it was on the mini wang. thanks to shane and leon for taking me passenger on the skid pan, wat an experience!. next deca i think im gonna have to enter.. hehehe

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
