and as some of u may have guessed it was pretty much a one sided battle :P

GO GIRL!

Josies best ET was 14.22 @ 101.10mph 60ft = 2.366

My best ET was 14.569 @ 97.63mph 60ft = 2.313

however

Soarers best ET was 13.879 @ 101.10mph (Driver inark)

NOTANRs best ET was 14.089 @ 93.16mph (Driver Dr_Drift)

As you can see i was getting a high mph but low ET... mainly cause i couldn't launch the damn thing with that racing clutch which was a shame...

We lined up twice and here are the results:

Josie 60ft = 3.121 ET = 15.296 @ 100.12mph

Me 60ft = 2.322 ET = 14.591 @ 97.76mph

Josie 60ft = 2.729 ET = 14.78 @ 100.81mph

Me 60ft = 2.782 ET = 15.038 @ 96.85mph

Highest MPH:

Josie = 102.2mph

Me = 98.41mph

Soarer = 102.22mph

NOTANR = 98.41

i still think the soarer could go faster, Josie was racing with TRC on, transmission in normal mode and OD which didnt help. The second time i drove with everything set how it should i lost traction all the way up the 60ft mark and had to back right off (stalled it too high off the line).... i reckon if we kept going we could have got it into the mid 13s.

I ended up giving control of my car to the good doctor as i was struggling to get it off the line not getting traction til after 3rd gear and all those times were done on low boost (10psi)... when i upped the boost to try and get into the 13s something broke... and it blew a lovely big cloud of black smoke as sam was driving it at about the 3/4 mark. More woes for my car.

Congratulations to my gf who didnt even want to go and was brought to tears at the thought of having to do it... once she got there and got on the track she was like a demon!! nice one and good on u for giving it a go... just wish i could have seen the reactions from ppl when they read ur name out and realised it was a girl driving it :D

hey i beat her in one race!! and the ET from that was faster than the one when she beat me... wasnt a total owning like u all thought it would be... :P on low boost.

and i dont know what broke on my car... going to have to take it to BMT and find out i guess... seems to happen when on full boost it just missfires and chugs... any other time its fine.

yeah thats the prob... after about 12runs we finally upped the boost and something went bad lol was running a bit hot i think cause when i went to put the boost up the heat from the turbo burnt my arm... and my arm was about 3 or 4 inches away from the turbo lol

even josie did 9 and i did 2 in her car... and we also just sat down the back with the bonnet up for up to 15mins a time talking... could have got more runs in if we liked and we left early

after about 12runs we finally upped the boost and something went bad lol was running a bit hot i think cause when i went to put the boost up the heat from the turbo burnt my arm
i thought you meant you upped it from inside the cabin and could feel heat from there. I was thinking that was one hot turbo but ahhh umm nevermind :P

lol ak... no just a simple bleed valve which took me 10 goes to change... helps if u turn it in the right direction... everytime i changed it i turned the damn thing down... funny thing was i ran a faster time with it less than 10psi lol

couple of funny pics....

i originally wasnt allowed to race as i didnt have the thing that holds the battery down on and it wasnt in the car so i had to bodge it up :P

west also came along in his R33 GTST and ran a 13.6 from memory... he got a bit of a sore hand changing gears... wonder why??

so well BEATEN BY A GIRL.. how does it feel?

and i dunno whether she reads in here - but GREAT WORK JOSIE!! Thats pretty good times for a fairly stock soarer. You did great.

:)

Sounds like it was a quiet night at Calder.. good you got heaps of runs in. The 2 times i've been i've been lucky to get like 3 runs.

still no news on my car :cry: "end of this week definitely"... bullshit..

    • 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 👌
