I think it had forgies, not sure. Once he put a set of roller rockers in it it went a lot better.  He wanted some Yella Terra alloy heads but said it wasnt worth it on a 10A.

Whats in your FC,  i like old Holdens...still three on the tree?

My FC is stock.....See you at calder dude, talk is for the weak.

Talk is all i got mate. If i shift my auto manually and stall it up i should be able to break into the 14s...LOOL...this is fun...i havent talked this much sh1t in... in...well it must be hours surely:)

But seriously, have always thought drag racing is too brutal on the car, but just curious to see how the old girl goes, plus want to try a few new things on the car. No more dribble from me... i probably have you worried:)

My car is 5spd manual, isnt yours too :D

Come on, your clutch wont explode.. or will it :Paranoid:

Sh1t...110mph on 5psi...im sure its running the std turbo then:(

In all seriousness if i can get a low 13 or high 12 ill be stoked. I doubt i will though as i dont like launching hard in the car, probably the reason the car has been as reliable as it has over the years:)

Your cars been off the road for long nough, why not just extend that period by blowing the sh*t out of you box!!!

The=n you can take it back to ICE to build a new one out of three old ones they have, that they don't know if it'll work or not..... j/k :spcow:

This is why I have stayed away from drags (Except on the street) at Calder etc. I like the idea of testing your cars power to weight in a straight line, but there are just way too many tools out there. St.Albans style di*ks with an arrogant attitude towards new people. I much prefer the enjoyable track days where everyone can give it a go and we can encourage newbies to join.

I'd like to go down to Calder with you Troy, but we may have to just keep to ourselves.

Come to PI in a fortnight...lol we will help peel your car off the wall when you realise that drag racing is for mummy's boys... throw some big stops and turns into the mix and dra queens go to water:)

:werd:

Just like a drag strip only you have to actualy turn at the end once you hit 200+ k/m :P

Yeah one day I want to give this a shot (if only so I can answer everyone when they ask what my car does down the 1/4! LOL) but until I get 2nd gear fixed I'll have to pass up.

But I'll try to come down for a look and to cheer you on Roy. Just don't break the car again before PI. Actually, you sure you don't want to wait til AFTER PI before you try this mate?

Red...your car sounds tasty... any details. Massive brakes? Cool!..110mph? Cool! Is it a 15yr jap jobbie, modded local delivery?

I like Series IV/V RX7s, almost bought one but where i lived at the time stopped me as the locals would have stolen it in a matter of weeks:(

    • 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?
