Hello,

Finally registered my own account (was previously using my friends account, akajonz).

I'm really looking forward to this! and have been edging to go for weeks now.

I'll be driving a honda, so please be gentle on the straights. 120kw ftl :D

play around with tourismo on the track, you should be similar if not his a little faster on the straights

this one time, at band camp, he beat us all with a starlet.

hey Ando, thanks for organizing, well done. :laugh:

Quick question, maybe i missed it, is there any seperate passenger sessions or are they along for the ride in the various groupings.

Looking forward to the day and hope the weather is kind to us.

cheers Ron

Dah, I wanted to go head to head with Reece. If my times come down I'll see if I can move to group 1 on the day.

Dude i'm happy to swap with you if you've got a bit of a rivalry going?

dont encourage him to do that, he is in our group, that means less track time for us.

:laugh:

Don't worry, I have no plans to go play in the sand! :laugh:

I do however plan on geting an award for "Seriously Cass, fix your f**king car or we will ban you from life!" or to the same effect :laugh:

Not what the day is designed for, going 'head to head'. Sorry mate, i have to be very clear that this is a 'driver trainer day' and we will not accept any form of racing, we are not covered for that and the whole reason we are allowed passengers!

There will be no bumping up of cars because of 'times' as it is a non-timed event. Only movement will be if there is a clear mis-match of speed between cars in a particular group.

Ron - Mate, passengers are able to go out in every single session, all day long :laugh::laugh:

yes can overtake, but when it is safe and the slower car will still hold the line, faster car is responsibile for passing.

no passing/diving under brakes.

all this will be discussed on driver breifing :laugh:

my two cents;

if you are finding yourself right on the back of a car and wanting some room, an option is to just come into the pit entry. drive SLOWLY down pit lane and back out onto the track at the pit exit (make sure you have the wave-on from the pit exit marshall). this puts you on the opposite end of the track of the car you were hounding and you dont have to worry about executing an overtake. just a thought.

also, many thanks ando! looks great

    • 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 👌
