See you mofo's on Sunday. By the way, how do you guys who share a garage go about moving in and out if you're in different groups and the car next to go out is parked behind the other?

We are generally in the same group or one difference. So one is on track other on pre grid.

Had a great day today!

A few blemishes:

  • Loosing down the first long session due to winding up the boost to 15 psi instead of 9psi lol
  • Ripping off the front lower plastic tray and mud guard down the main straight!

But!

  • Shaved 14secs off my PB and did a 1:33!

Should just put on some Yokohama AD08's and highflow the turbo and challenge Rob Forbes in standard class next year :P

Minor setback though. Car now develops a high pitched whurring noise on the front left wheel when driving the car. Not sure what it is. Noise will be there even driving at 10km/h. Hrmmm...

Here are some pics:

1.22 is a killer time for any car..

How did you go Tony, was it dry enough..

I got a 1:33 brah. Happy with my time :)

Now i need to buy an oil cooler.

In the afternoon. would hit 120c about 3 laps in. So only got about 5 lap sessions and then pulled in, didn't want to risk it.

Water temp was still 70-80c i think.

maybe wheel bearing, would get right onto that. jack it up and check for wheel play in both axis. Just ask Ant about PI last time?

Yeah its on my to-do list..which is also my wish list atm.. Along with fitting my oil cooler..lol

I got my Velo 5 point harness for $170 I think if its any help

That's what my friend thinks it is, he won't get to look at it till later this week.

Just driving it from home to the train station to get to work in the mean time

What would have caused it? I woulda thought all my ripple strip action yesterday would have smashed the front right wheel more.

Is it safe to drive in the meantime?

Yes you should attack standard class! Beat my SAU best times damn it!

Maybe the wheel beering. The single peice brake rotors hold a lot of heat and can cook them if you dont cool down enough.

Other thing is the rotor maybe warped and touching the pad or the piston is not retracting fully.

Loving the pics from this - thanks guys!

I had a pretty terrible first outing, after taking it very easy for the first few laps of the first session to get a feel for the fresh build, started to put the boot in but something wasn't right. Then descended into barely able to start or idle. Car had been fine on the dyno and road tests until now.

Looks to be an air leak somewhere, possibly intake manifold gasket or something ... being sorted now.

Congrats again on the 1.22 Richo - crazy fast time for street tyres. And great to see some of the usual suspects and meet a few others.

HSV day here I come hopefully for a better shake down!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • 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.
