YO!!!! :action-smiley-069:
Am back from nam.
Am craving to ride motorbikes now that I've done quite a bit over there, the first hired bike didn't have a working horn. #wasnotfun

What have I missed the past month?
Update me peeps.

Meanwhile nathans pushing 380kw at the hubs, standard nur spec, on ethanol.. and was actually caning it too! Passenger laps were sick.

george was going nuts as well haha

#northsiderepresent

Yes but they are gtrawkw

So that's like an extra 40% power in the real world yeah?

Mini Cooper s convertible was adamant on dragging the Gloria one quiet Sunday morning. Rolling back and forward at the lights, revving the motor etc. Auto and low down torque make it a piece of cake to launch, after that the mini never gained any ground. He pulled up beside me grinning, trying to exchange a glance or something? Tint was too dark, so he couldn't see shit lol #VIP #eadc

At least... it's also faster in all situations despite the extra weight over a gtst.

LOL

For some reason there were only 2 cars that HAD to try it on when I had the 33... Cooper S and golf GTI/R

Some dude in a cooper S tried it on once to impress some blonde bimbo in the passenger seat, I held it level with him for a bit of fun until about half way through second... gave him a toot, gave the 33 a clutch kick and left him in the rear view... At the next set of lights on the private road the look on his face was priceless... pure rage.... and the bimbo was almost in tears laughing

I could hear turbo spool so could have been turbo swapped and was sporting an exhaust.

Probably flash tuned though for dat fuel economy.

The JCW minis are factory turbo

Mate of mine has a modded one, bit strange considering he's a great bloke

Needs more JDM Rims...

Will be dropping them off tonight at about 8:00 or so

Somehow I don't think Koya constitutes JDM lol

the ones that are offset by the lack of VCT?

Better plenum, head flows better than GTS-T, generally makes torque earlier on than a GTS-T which makes close to 300kw. Not sure why you think a GTR 9 times out of 10 isn't going to be faster than a GTST with similar power.

What about this guy

Hamish is probably refering to track times on the basis of 4wd and higher weight vs rwd and lighter weight if all else being equal

    • 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?
