Don't worry neil you can always steal the wets from the tow car.

Mark, haven't you entered? With only 25-30 cars there will be plenty of track time for everyone :D

I had family stuff on but that has been moved to Sunday now, also the boat has electrical gremlins now, stalled whilst driving and now it wont start, I used up all of limited knowledge in diagnosing the fault to no avail, its going to UNIGROUP on the flat bed tomorrow, if they can fix it tomorrow and I can get to Wholesale Suspension before the weekend to replace some bushes in rear cradle, and if there is any spots available I may have a run.

At this stage the glass is half empty.

80% chance of less than 1mm of rain - I like that! My fingers are also crossed for less than 30 degrees air temp too.

Speaking of lap timing - will there be any this Sat???

No timing on this one Scott. Given the numbers we just couldn't afford to lose even more on the day.

You've got your Contour GPS for timing anyway, right?

here is the current forcast:

Saturday 17 December

Mostly sunny morning. Isolated showers from midday. Winds east to northeasterly averaging 10 to 20 km/h. Overnight temperatures falling to between 8 and 11 with daytime temperatures reaching 20 to 26.

does anyone know if there will be any helmets to borrow or rent? my girl is coming for the day and i'd like to take her for a run :) or two :))

I will have a couple helmets there. If your GF has the right size noggin she can borrow one.

    • 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.
