me and a couple of mates are going to this weeks open practice at calder....i realise its a short track and may be crap...but hey its close and apart from the need for driving suits(which they hire for $30)the requirements are pretty basic...would be good to see any others join in

inark "open practice" is different to the other sessions and requires a driving suit.

It's done on Wednesdays during the day 9am-4pm

however, $165 is out of my price range.... if I had that sort of money to burn, i'd be burning it on an advanced driving course.

its wednesday....pickles in airport west?was it out front of a panel shop?

yeah :)

hard to miss with those carbon fibre tail light surrounds

i was thinking of trying to get the car to the drift prac on wednesday night... cant make the open session during the day because of work.

yeah :mad:

yeah the guy that owns that shop is by far the most talented yet unrecognised guy i have ever met.......i have seen him make panels and lead load,unbeleivable tradesman and one of the nicest guys you are ever likely to meet...what was you doing down that neck of the woods nark?

hmmmmmmmmmm... sounds good... wonder if he'll modify my front guards... vent them... make em nice and wide... should be pretty easy so if he can make his own panels im sure it will be easy as for him :D

i went down there to get a car towed from pickles... went past with Jack. Almost missed it thanks to Jacks decked out truck :D

it was good....i am running low boost at the moment,i just needed a tiny bit more boost then i reckon i wouldve done the 360 modena on the straight :cheers:(my highest speed was about 240)oh and i mightve had a chance in the corners too but i needed some neg camber :D

    • 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 👌
