Yep, plus the speeds are different.

Naturally these are sprint day speeds NOT happy laps speeds.

I normally enter the main straight at 100kmh and enter turn 1 at 140, the exit of turn 2/start of the back straight is also at 140-145kmh, the entry into turn 3 is about 80kmh and during a race you're breaking as late as possible. As you can see you have the potential to be going a lot faster at the end of the back straight than the front and the corner at the back is much tighter and slower.

I am keen to test that out one day Mike

I'm surprised you still have standard brakes on the SS

The speed you are carrying on the main and back straights + breaking late on that national circuit must ruin them

QR don't run sprints on the National circuit, only their general practice. When I was out last I got good laps but on my 4th I has some serious brake fade at the end of the back straight.

Brakes are mostly standard, BDA4000 slotted rotors and EBA Redstuffs and braided lines with RPF600 fluid.

so just need caliper upgrade

Steal Gregos Endless kit :P

Okay, so, I may have overreacted to my coolant system failure last weekend...

Genuine hoses and ebay radiator.

probably the only part under the bonnet you can get too anyway,lol,that should fix it anyway.

Speaking of brakes - I know this is probably the wrong place to ask, but the right place for the people I'd respect the answer from most - what should I put on a V36 350GT? I have a very bad habit of warping or hotspotting discs in all my previous cars, and want to nip this in the budd before I start doing any damage.

was it you in that silver 350gt at last Happy Laps?

Not me, and I sure as hell hope it wasn't my car! Mine is Blade Silver...

I only just got it this week. So unless the dealer was giving it a thrashing I doubt it was mine! :P

Got any footage or pics, I could probably ID it if it was mine...

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
