Change the front of the car so that it resembles a falcodore more so than an Altima?

it seems the Kelly boys might have done the smart thing and picked a 'slippery' car and the aussie cars having a sook as they shaped like bricks. Commodone and falcon should be trying to make the new model cars more sleek

No one is sooking yet

It's always been known that supercars would be doing CFD parity testing.

I believe from people I speak to regularly that the large teams who have fallen away this year will be the front runners come next year. They have put their best engineers forward into the COtF instead of running current cars

Tekno apparently had revised 888 uprights at the 600 and move up the field, still developing an old platform, relying on 888 for their COTF chassis.

888 have concentrated on the title this year, question will be have they sacrificed some COTF development to be at the front in 2012....

No doubt Roland's juggernaut will be at the top of the tree in no time come 2013 but you do wonder if the COTF program suffers at all due to current events.

HRT have sucked arse all year, have they shifted focus from 2012 to 2013.......

Current VE and FG's are far from bricks. They have very strict splitter angles and undertray designs that must be adhered to. No doubt the Kelly cars will be assisted or hindered depending on CFD results.

It was put out there right at the start of the COTF announcement that all new cars / body's will be independently aero tested for parity prior to the 2013 season.

Clipsal Launch at Vic Park next friday from 12 - 1.30pm

Itis not like 888 have any shortage of resources. The joy of having bazillions of dollars in sponsorship is you dont have to chose between development paths. You just do all of them and see which works better.

well given that the commodore gets cut in half and widened by 10cm or so to make it meet current regulations, yeah.

Troubles in the T888 camp

The Red Bull Racing team for next year has one of its drivers in a contract to Monster!!

Was at the Clipsal Launch yesterday with the Erebus boys, whose role was rather disappointing with the SLS doing 1/2 a lap of the temporary track where no spectators were only to park.

Ken Block for on track entertainment every day, KISS & Motley Crue in concert on the Friday night

I was surprised to see they let Courtney and Davidson do some laps with each other around the temporary circuit ( at a reasonable speed) in just shorts T Shirt and no Helmet. If anything had happened that would have been a legal nightmare! All stemming from Courtney having to fill in for a sick Tander at the last minute and Courtney refusing to wear someone elses helmet and racing suit, which is understandable but Shit hapens

    • 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?
