I'm going to try and go and Sat but am going to do Haunted Hills on the Sunday (another option if you are interested. Plenty of SAU people will be there - although if I was you I'd be sticking with PI for 2 days)

i have been told some stories about how quick you are mr snowman around PI, hoping i can tuck into your slip stream and you can pull me along :)

Last time i went to PI for the weekend the Haunted hills event was on at the same time as well which was a real shame. Looked at some of the footage and looks like a hoot.

Interested in splitting the cost of a garage on the Saturday?

I posted my forms last week with a cash cheque for the saturday, would have been heaps easier with EFT and faxed or emailed entries, spose I will find out on the day if they accepted it.

Really didn't think I would ever need a proper cheque book.

Gonna try fit oil cooler this weekend, then should be ready to go.

I'm staying down on saturday night for a few beers, then going to the track on sunday to watch a few friends peddle their cars around.

Look out for the silver 32 sedan.

Cheers

Rob

Will be going down on Sunday for a look....

Well, don't want to jinx myself...but with these late night ass bleeding hours, provided Fri, Mon & Tues go to plan i should be good for taking thu/Fri off which means I am good to go. Will call PIARC when i get a minute to confirm space on Friday this week.

roy, i sent my entry form early this week so if you hear it is full would you mind letting me know please. I really hope not as i just booked accommodation:(

Alex, Accommodation at the Phillip Island ECO Lodge if you have some friends seems most affordable and still OK, we booked a 2 bed villa Fri-Sat and Sunday nights. If you are going let me know and i guess drop by for a cold one.

I cant come. :wacko: Pretty pissed off ATM. Its the last weekend we have our holiday house. We sold it and the settlement is Monday.

Apart from weird little huts to sleep in, the Eco lodge is pretty well equiped. They have a big pool and outside BBQ. Seeing you guys will only be sleeping there basically. It will be fine.

Have fun :action-smiley-069:

Hi, met up with Matt and the boys and share the garage.had a great time at PI.unfortunately my S15 drop a cylender at Sandown on sat otherwise I will have a ball chasing Matt's gun S14.will have mine rebuilt quickly or swap the 2.2 stroker SR20 I got from Japan 319kw on pump fuel with a TD06/25G. look forward to the next track day.

was not the best weekend with miss firing that i thought had been fixed and then cracking the turbo manifold most probably due to the miss firing and having to run as little boost as possible.

Was nice to meet you all and whilst with all the troubles it was probably a weekend to forget it made up for it having a chat around the garage and seeing all the cars out on the track.

I have put together a clip for my tuner to try and work out what is the problem and replicate on the dyno but it gives you an idea of my frustration.

The running around with little or no boost and the big crack in my manifold was fun for a while until smoke started coming into the cabin. Might have to wait another couple of years to be able to afford to head down again but hopefully it will just be the driver and not the car as the limiting factor next time.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
