Damn that's a good time I'd be very happy with that.

I wish I could get my run in except they've cancelled for the last two weeks due to weather :(

Soon the AR-X's will own best times in 3 states.

1 may even have the Australian title! :P

I can't wait to get the rs260 down the drags, sort the clutch out then before the mods will do a run to see what mph I'm getting at the end or the 1/4 for bench mark!

Hoping ill get it lower 60 foot than my VL! Don't think ill get it lower than what the VL has run! If I can get it as low as what rbnt got his rs260 up here 11.8 ill be very happy :) ps I wish the track was only 28 degrees most of the time it's in the 30's plus

Any ideas on what a completely stock 250t rx 4 would run?

Im heading to the Eastern creek drags on the 22nd if anyone else is keen.

Possibly keen. Just gotta see if my car is happy before then.

Would like to see where I'm at currently.

Had my first run ever at the drags last night.. Only got 4 runs in. The best I could muster was 13.4 pretty happy with that..

The car kept getting really cold as we were having over hour waits between runs..

Hopefully keep improving the car and the tune...

well done great time:)

It's a lot easier to keep a car warm than to cool it down, mine was heat soaked and I could do nothing about it. Other guys were putting bags of ice on their coolers and engines to help combat the heat.

I should probably get up to Heathcote soon now it's winter and get a time on the current tune, I am only going down in power from here. (perhaps back to a highflow soon) I have had my fun...

I had two similar runs at 13.4 at 102-103 mph.

I'm amazed at how much the brake cut makes a difference I forgot to turn it on for the first two runs :( and got 14.5-14.2.

Yea totally agree Scotty but if the transmissions cold would that effect times etc as its not possible to warm it up without moving anywhere?

I'm sure there are many factors that could lower my time ;)

    • 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.
