If you ran that trap speed with no cage in a jap car there is NO chance they would let you run again

nah it's just heathcote don't care, calder will tell you to slow down then boot you off at anything over like 130 or 140 i think

Hey Martin; you do a lot of traveling...

Thinking of buying a new laptop to use when onsite & on transit (planes, airport lounges etc)

Asus Taichi 31 - tablet / laptop hybrid ; easy to play with on transit

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/TAICHI_31/

Alienware 14 - most powerful 14" laptop ; more usability when onsite or at home

http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-14/pd?oc=w510772au&model_id=alienware-14

Laptop will be my only system at home, transit & on-site.

Better to get a laptop with more power to use at home/onsite or a laptop which is easier to use during transit etc?

Any other suggestions would be great! Although dont want to spend more than $2k

Thanks :)

yes they put you in groups.

they will ask for any experience when you say none they will look at the car and pick a group.

Auto Manual Stag will be in one of the slowest ones.

Just do the next SAU VIC track day Huy

At least you'll be driving with alot of familiar faces

And less chance of a random spinning out in an emo.

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Don't buy a netbook. You'll just want to head->desk repeatedly.

Although that said, I'm a fan of the PC at home, and if going down route of home pc+laptop; laptops are fairly affordable these days and should be able to get a decent i5 etc. Haswell is out now too, so.

I'll probably buy an ultrabook of some sort next sem.

Always gotta weigh up performance vs cost vs portability... but $2K budget seems plenty to get best of all three aspects.

I've heard some good things about LBO horize ones which you can customize too. But name brands are around for a reason too :P

/Nothelpful

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

They do Alienware stuff now anyway.

this. reason alone not to get Alienware.

Dell is probs best for cheap laptops because of "customer service" and no lack of spares. in the end, it's a laptop, it'll be a POS in 2 years no matter how good care you take of it (unless it sits dormant and doesn't have new things installed)

speaking of travel, 4:45 wake-up call for 7:45 flight yay. only going to Sydney though, so not as exciting. f**king swear flights to Fuji would have been cheaper *grumble*

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
