BTW, to clarify, WSID set the terms and price for this hire. SAU:NSW will not make any money from this day, and it is difficult to fill due to the hire conditions.

However....we are committed to making the day happen for all of the club members who have asked for it....so please support it!

And more importantly....see if you can take home a "WSID booted me" trophy!

Hmmm, what do I need to bring home a trophy...

... I need NAWS, one of the big bottles! Naw, make it two. And I need 'em by tonight. :laugh:

Seriously though, looking forward to taking the GTR on a high speed pass!

Any entrant who is booted for running 10 or faster on our day will receive a trophy from SAU:NSW.

Each winner's trophy will be personally engraved with a message "WSID booted me out of the SAU:NSW drag day for running xx.xx. 9 July 2011"

Don't just say you can get booted....prove it and take home the silverware ;)

I love it, great idea.

Tonton, spectating is free because it is a private hire - but entrant's spectators will be given priority (it looks like our spectator allowance will be filled)

Why not enter instead ;)

Thanks John....are you going to win one?

I think spectators should be charged a fee....

if they arent coming with an entrant

So whats the go with this event.... normally names etc need to be given to WSID 2 weeks or so out from the event dont they and there isnt exactly a lot of paid up people....

yep, we will be providing the list of all entrants, their spectators, photographers and organisers in the week before the event; and yes there are still a fair few spots available.

As we said above, entrant's spectators will get priority, then member spectators, then others.

If necessary, the committee will review the event if we get close to the day and the club stands to loose significant money. The minimum hire charged by WSID is $8000 and currently we have $4200 in entries. If we are forced to cancel all entrants will have their entries refunded.

The best way to avoid this happening....is to enter and make sure we are not loosing our member's money on this event :D I think it is very unlikely we will be forced to cancel.

    • 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.
