What a gorgeous day, http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?02/09/2012.PHIL.S24.Y

Re the Zed – I was informed it was one of those common final turn incidents.

I was talking to one of the PIARC guys, Gary scrutineering – some of the old guys have had very interesting lives and well worth a chat.

Anyhow, even though numbers were low, I always seemed to get involved in traffic at some point in my laps. Even had stripped out cars wanting door to door action.

Funny enough fastest lap of the day was the last lap of the day – PIARC had even stopped the timing,very few were still there and even less bothered to go out due to oil through turn 3.

Back off and sand bag like crazy?!? That's what I do to stay out of traffic. It's a big track.

Agree, no point taking chances with traffic chasing lap times. Tried a few things but PIARC were sending cars out with 1s gaps and cars behind didn't play game of letting the one in front go a bit. Best was to sit in pit lane for 30s or so but the EXE guys in 350zees had the same idea as well :), they were good lads, nice cars too.

    • 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 👌
