hey aggro, did you upgrade your brakes when you did the turbo conversion? If not, i strongly recommend :) I did it to mine, got the GTT brakes put in, one of my best mods :P The reason i brought it up is i would imagine if you had the GT brakes when you did this they would have suffered, i seized up my GT brakes for a lot less abuse.

I couldn't help but laugh at Matt when i looked out of eric's car to see my car pushing this big cone halfway down the track..

I don't even know where I collected that cone from! I hope I delivered it back where it was meant to go!

Thanks again Dave for the drive! That car is hell fun to chuck about!

Just need to sort that camber, throw some semis on and give the keys back to me at Wakie... :)

As for requests for DVD's, i hadnt really come along with the intention of selling images or making anything out of it, it was more about helping out as a volunteer as I have before, This is something that would have to be run past the Mods \ Event organisers due to their own arrangements which included a paid photographer that turned up to do some work and not wanting to "upset the apple cart" as such.

Maybe some input from Mods \ Event organisers for those interested?

Some great photos there!

The club photographer is there to ensure we have one "Pro" making the service availble to anyone that shows up wether or not the frequent these forums. The service on the day is to ensure that the photographer gets paid a bit in return for his time and ensuring he's there all day. So, don't worry about upsetting any apple cart. There are quite a few of you guys out there taking great shots and doing a great job for the club. We want everyone to benefit from your skills.

As long as you are not selling the photos professionally or representing yourself as an "official SAU photographer" then go nuts. If people want to buy them off you, that's great. If we end up having too many photographers offering paid services at an event then we may have to come up with a fair means to short it out but will try to be fair to all.

Oh, and I also do not want in any way to short shaft you guys that have been taking photographs for the club for some time. It's great to have so many people keen on helping us keep great looking memories from our events.

Anyone wanting to put their name in to the portfolio of SAU Club Official Photographers, contact me. I'll take your details and get some portfolio shots to bring up with the execs. We already have a roster of a few guys to ensure we can cover our various events. We will also try to rotate through a few folks to ensure everyone gets a fair shake.

    • 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 👌
