wandered down to sand own today to watch state and national racing series... seeing the sports sedans hit monster speeds at the top of the hill and run a 1:12 flat was worth the entry fee. rajabdamn

What kind of cars are they running?

the fastest were space-frame, fibreglass V8's... some with NASCAR and Trans-am leftovers running 360 wide slicks. but was an SAU ex-tarmac rally 32GTR in the mix too.

the rest of the day has 2 races from each series: MG's, formula Vees, some other open-wheels, sports sedans, sports cars, classic touring cars and old holdens.

you're looking at it...has r33 brakes and a dual din screen....thats about it not even boosted...engineered back in 2006 and been his runabout ever since...took for a drive...goes alright, better than my non turbo 7m anyway..clearcoat is all peeling and messed up though there is a freshly painted shell in my backyard :P

i found out it was running through till sunday on friday evening... wasnt sure if i was going to make it or not depending on how tired I was after winton. was $25 spectator entry though, so a bit pricey, but fuill days worth of racing to watch. I'd rather watch it than go to F1's tbh.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
