Drag Combat

April 10th at Kwinana Motorplex

There is a round of Drag Combat being held in Perth on the 10th of Arpil and SAUWA is looking for people interested in entering as a team. Skylines Australia is supporting the event with advertising and teams are entering around the country with the 1st round having been completed in NSW at the WSID (Western Sydney International Dragway).

You don't need to have a 10sec car to be able to compete, aslong as it's able to do a 14.99 pass or better then your eligible. We're not restricting it to just Skylines either, any Jap Import owner who is a SAU forum member is more than welcome to join us, and I believe cars with engine translplants are eligible aslong as the engine is from the same manufacturer.

There are prizes to win, and the event will be shown on FOX SPORTS, so if you have sponsorship this may be a good way to get some exposure. There are different categories of racing, including a category for street tyres. Further details can be found at www.dragcombat.com .

There will be a Show'n'Shine and SPL comp, but if you just want to race then you don't have to enter them:D

I'm talking to the organiser to get a discount for SAUWA entrants, and will let you know ASAP what the discounted rate will be.

Please register your interest, and support this event.

Paul

President of SAUWA

SHUTO BOY - R33 GTS-t

DSTURBD - R31

haha. wikkid aidwin.

I will probably not be in on this one, due to the fact that my car is slow, and my wallet empty, thereby precluding any change from the current scenario of car slowness.

:)

but I will be there - and may spl it up if required.

Sean, We have a few decent cars, may even have an 8sec GTR making an appearance, but have to wait to hear back:D

Once we've confirmed some more people, then we'll get together to discuss what brackets, dial in's and tyres we can use. We can always have a couple sets of slicks that we share between some cars.

    • 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?
