I can't wait for the next lot of pictures of some retarded mudflap wrapping their car around a pole just outside the event!

So excitement.

Sometimes you can score some mad parts if you can untangle them from the chain link fence out the front!!

only just found out about this. super busy this week :(

The good news is; it's not too late to flip your car upside down in a garden bed and blame "Cold tyres" for the whole thing.

You might be pressed for time to get the single pegger diff and steelies fitted though. ;)

after seeing and reading things that go on at these type of events, has really deterred me from going, even just to spectate.

For now, I will stick to sau events, as I know they don't tolerate stupidity.

I may check them out one day, when they have seemed to mature a little.

100 points to Dale. Sorry for crappy photo - had to rubberneck.

Incase you cant make it out, its a Supra and the location is just outside the gate at WSID

I was returning home from a family function.

Is there an increased police presence during EOMM?

Absolutely.

Not only on Ferrer's Road but at the nearby M4 entrance too. A few cars got caught last night as well.

The Highway Patrol Command HQ is nearby as well..

everytime i have been to the drags on wed night people leaving always drive like idiots.

The road surface is less gripper then the 1/4 mile track. Hence it doubles or sometimes triples their car's power output which makes it easier to chirp 2nd gear leaving the gate.....and then straight into it for some.

The only reasonable logic I've come up with so far..

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
