My car is not an auto. My best time is 14.8 on Sat I was trying for a consistant 15.1.

What do you think about a 2nd gear start I've thought about it . might give it a try this Sat.

I could have cut my throat when I broke out!!!!! I was up against a Wrexxy who dialed in 14.6 and I thought I had a good chance of beating him

182km/h is AWESOME!! You should have enough juice to run an 11 sec pass, and 1.9 60' is excellent, did you run slicks? What were your 660' times and mph?

Hey Squizz, can you let us know about Benaraby. A few of us were talking about going up there, if there's an import meet I would be keen to run the Zed. Is it full 1/4 mile?

TTZ sorry haven't got my time slip (as mentioned it was stolen with some of my other gear only have the ones from earlier in the day but my friend has his and I ran against him will see if he still has it....we weren't too impressed with the times so he probably disposed of it :) . I was running street tyres but got a awesome launch sorted.

Nismo_Boy.. .were you there?

I didn't see the R13. Not that I knew what I was looking for. I also didn't see cam till he ran his first run at night. I think we missed a lot of things :)... But we seemed to be in the stands most of the day. Can you post some pics Nismo_Boy?

hehehe......benaraby.

Imagine Willowbank...

Now remove the buildings and infrastructure. Place a drag strip (1/4 mile) in some bush not far from Gladstone, Qld.

Basicly a piece of bitumen, in the bush with timing equipment. What more do you need?

It is fairly well supported by the Gladstone, Rockhampton & Bundaberg people though. Is fairly surprising the numbers they get, and the Import meet will be well supported by the Gladstone guys, and Squizz and the Kaos crew.

but don't expect too much. :)

yeah I was there. The R13 got there around lunch time, it was next to Cams little group, I would post pics but the computer shop took Jpeg off mu computer :) and I don't have a windows disk to put it back on:(

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Guest sir calais

Heres some more info on benaraby raceway http://www.benarabyraceway.com/

..... you've got to admit Benaraby has improved from how it was this time two years ago. Least now theres grass on the mound - actually least now theres a mound. All they need now is a decent road to get in there.

Dam I may have to put the TEIN's back in incase I need to turn hard at high speed.....OH crap :eek: I sould them, what am I going to do????? Does sound interesting though......bit like one of those witches-hat slaylem style of events I spose

ok ok ok...lets just say it is still a very good regional track. At least it is full 1/4 mile, better than some. besides the people in Ipswich, how many of us can say they have a decent, legal place to have fun on?

Hey Boosmeister, you thinking of going up for it? Benaraby drags that is.

I will be in Airlie Beach from 18th Oct for a week so if it is around that time I may take a side trip....only problem is it is a long way from home and I'd hate to wreck my holiday if I broke something......especially when the car may be getting sold:eek:

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • 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 👌
