so i took my drift car out to a SAU club day on thursday... didnt change anything except for adding some rear camber to fit 265's on the back. ran RSR fronts and 265 KU36's rear. managed a best time of 1.18.08 at mallala. brakes and lack of decent grip were my two biggest problems but i had a ball.

anyway heres the vid http://vimeo.com/15685328

Agree Harry!

the RB just sounds awesome! the evo sounds....like a gli with an exhaut lol

edit - what were the two times?

and winton looks fun!

High 1.38, Low 1.39

Lack of front end grip with the ku36 / 595rsr really hurts you at winton.

update:

1.24.7 at Sandown on 595rsr

Cal what tyres are you using? You have the car really hooked up.

You using racechrono? give racechrono2avi a go http://www.racechrono.com/news/?p=92

agree with troy. driving on the RSR at nurburgring and then driving the exige on the A050s (or were they 48s?) at Spa the RSRs were very good. I do think they tended to let go a little earlier than the other semi's but they had lots of feel and very progressive when they did start to let go. troy and I worked them pretty hard at the ring overdriving and they are big laps at 24km per lap! I do think they would give away a little to a set of 55s or DZ03G, or AO50s but not nearly as much as I would previously have thought. the car we had them on was pretty quick, turbo FWD with DSG scirroco with brakes, cage and suspension. good times!

PS: wrong link bris. these are the ones: http://www.federaltyres.com.au/ss595rsr

yeah the weather was apalling, and so was the grip (both ends) in my car. I think the tyres were mostly to blame, those commodores drove past me like I was standing still....they easily had 10klm/h more at the apex.

My best lap was 2.10 in race 3....Bob Pearson's emo did a 1.58. Outrageous

    • 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.
