Was nice meeting alot of you on Saturday! I had a great time up in Control and got a ride around the track in the fire truck with sirens and lights blaring...Awesome fun LOL Giggled like a school girl :D:(

Great sprint until the rain set in...Racing in the dark must be so cool and I am sad that I wont be able to experience it..You guys are very lucky I reckon!! :P

yeah I know a lot of people went home when night fell (wierd if you ask me!)

full marks to Neil for having the balls to head out in the dark, and light rain, in a sportscar running slicks. It must have been a huge handful, was painfully slow, but I bet it was an absolute f**king blast! I was pissing myself in the pits, just wish I had been out there.

for those that have missed the thread, Duncan (LSX-438) won the NSW State Champs of which this was the final round: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ls...Su-t292391.html

His first season in a gtr, and he had to beat some very serious and experienced competition to win (and annoyed a few people on the way!)

So it was you dumping the water around the track?

I am sorry but Race Control is not in charge of the weather...Just everything else :P

    • 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?
