Good day all! Very well run and the weather held out just nicely. Pity about my little incident at the end, which has left me with a fractured wrist but what can you do. Glad to hear the driver of the green WRX is A-OK.

Thanks for organising the garage Martin, much appreciated mate :cheers:

Ouch....sorry to read that Dane. Hopefully nothing too serious is wrong with the car and you are back out in no time.

Just make sure you get the missus to do all the work and that wrist will heal in no time ;):P

Hope you and the car are on Dane! Would love to see the video of what happened (if you're comfortable with John posting it online)

Congrats to all who did PB's, the conditions were great for quick times. Luke deserves a special mention with a 1:20.46 screamer! Dipping in to the 1:20's is awesome.

Yeah another great track day!

Good to meet some more of you and catchup with a few people from previous days. That was my 3rd track day and definately hooked.

4 x R34 GTRs was great to see.

thanks to the WRX club for putting it on.

Russ: Me either mate! Thought it was jarred/sprained but got progressively worse and now I'm in a cast... balls!

John: Nice vid mate! Basically I was fiddling with my camera between 1 & 2, lost a bit of concentration, went in too hot on tyres that weren't up to full temp and you can see the result. Stupid mistake by me, but a lesson learned. Luckily the car is fine, just a bit of cosmetic damage to the lip, front dive plane, light cover and rear guard but it's getting fixed up now. :thumbsup:

Ant: I'm trying mate, with little success... :teehee:

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

Sorry to hear about the broken wrist, ouch and glad to hear wasn't major car damage so both are on the mend.

Thanks to Russ, Martin, John for your advice, will post findings in the brakes thread but I talked to GSL RallySport who mentioned A1RMs but if I don’t mind spending more, they reckon I should try Project mu’s Club Racer pads for longer track pad life and do work from cold. I’ll have them in for the SAU nationals. Note I had no issues with repeating the same setup but as I’m starting out, seems sensible to test a few setups.

club racers are working really well in my car now. 7 track days and 1 deca and about half worn although the G4 does have a massive pad surface are. I'm impressed. :)

As far as pads are concerned I use Project Mu HC+'s in the STi, and have in several cars. Great pad, work well from cold and last the distance. Would highly recommend them mate.

How is the bite on them?

I wasnt a fan of the Ferrodo DS3000

So thinking either Pagid RS29, or perhaps another pad.

    • 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 👌
