They opened last night :)

Same problem I've always had with them. The clips fall off and come out in the oil. Cruchy for a while then, the selector fork breaks sometime after.

Would that be different to the busted 3rd gear i had? The gears were notchy at times but not constant... The 34 boxes are slightly different to the 33 from memory but now sure how...

I'd assume it's the same, the 34 boxes are pull type and the 33's and push type that's the difference. I think.

Bonnet venting looks dramatic - love it. Lift it and show the work on the underside.

Wondering if the first few rows would be the ones you really need. Hoping that the louvres past half way along don't work against the goal of releasing air. That's starting to get into the high pressure area as you approach the windscreen base.

Yeh so we took a little trip over the border for some more track time. They ran the extended circuit, so it was hard to compare times.

But the split times are on par from last year, so the cage hasnt changed the performance.

Noticed the false floor you put in under the pedals. How did that go? Looks like yove fixed it directly to the floor however others that ive seen have been about 5cm above the floor. How have you found it?

It's just sikaflexed down. Seems fine.

We broke another gearbox over the weekend. This time 3rd gear is no more.

This box was a rough one to start with anyway.

I've got a better one at home that I'll have the synchro clips replaced, hopefully it lasts a couple of years before needing attention.

We still came second with a 1.05.28, slower than last year. But then no-one went faster than last year. Cold track surface conditions both days.

I'm sure with 3rd gear on day two I would have gone a few tenths quicker. Still not the 1.03.xx that Benny's S2000 did last year, but maybe a mid

    • 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?
