Stacey, why wait for the next Drag Combat? We have monthly dinners, near weekly meetups and cruises, as well as trackdays (Eastern Creek, Wakefield and Oran Park) organised at least once a month!!!

As for a front on shot, how about this one? :P

Errr....

That's the first time I have taken them out however they had 2 passes on a fairly serious XR6T before I bought them.

I was concerned about the reduction in sidewall costing the squat effect of the 50 series however the 5mm less top and bottom seemed to make no difference when accompanied with the extra 30mm/tire width.

245/50/16 60' - 1.697

275/40/16 60' - 1.694

Wear doesn't seem to be too bad considering I drove up and back on them as well. However I scooped and scraped a hard ball of rubber BIGGER than a tennis ball off of the guards!! Will post pics if I get to it.

Damn fine pics here guys :):) Merli, what camera is it that you use again?? and did it cost you an arm and leg to buy???

Adrian - what size rims do you have the 275's mounted on?? i wanted some Nitto's for the 200SX but cant find any 8.5/9" rims to fit them on at a decent price.... I know the above rim is probably the best width but if they will fit on a smaller rim it would make it easier i guess......

Deciphered..

good effort 2rismo..

Congratulations Adrian, you pulled some great times and even better burnouts...

and the rest of yas..

Some of the other times were ok too, but in my mother's Charade I think I could chop them silly...

2rismo i herd aboutur crazy mirage from a mate in my tec class

All the lads at the schoolyard are talking about your burnouts, we soaked the carpark in diesel to try and get some of that smokescreen happening, but alas we cannot compare.

crazy canon angles :) ahah

See that girls jugs? Phwoar! That Sarkis reversing gerhl had a set on her too!

Hope I did some justice :D

    • 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 👌
