Them's fighting words!

Maybe you're right though, with those heavy cast D1Rs and all

GTS-T will hit the track before the GTR does

And if it's slow it'll be the driver, thing is reasonably well set up for a daily

would like to come to sandown, but got shit on :(

gloria off to Centreline Suspension for JDM treatment. i was surprised chris knew what was going on before i had even said anything "so we're going to need a lot of negative camber, and you dont mind if it exceeds 100mm ride height?"

take a lot to get a gts-t around a track quick,and if it a good daily then it's not there...just ask Simon.

dialing out the understeer of such a heavy motor at speed is very hard.

It's a manageable daily. There are much more friendly cars going about on the street, but people are surprised when they drive it how palatable it is for the power output and how quick it can be putted around mountain roads. I modified it with the intention to make it capable and retain some creature comfort - expensive process and ultimately a compromise for the street is usually a compromise at the track, yes, but even things like 0 camber for a street setup, tyre and brake pad choice...things I can easily change before a track day...make it a better daily driver.

Adjustable everywhere and poly bushes throughout, the KAAZ 1.5 way is wonderfully predictable and helps her to be tail happy when you want it to be, really helps with turn in at moderate to higher speeds and the opposite at lower. Granted I'm not doing 160km/h corners on the street, but it'll be interesting to see how the car goes nonetheless. I think the suspension would be the thing to hold it back given the struts sound a bit shot after years of Toorak Rd. If nothing else I still have a decent whack of power to make use of our long straights. Could always give a better driver a chance in it and see what they think.

    • 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?
