this would be a good co-incidence for a meet up/cruise. yes/no?  

btw anyone here going to mallala.

What on at Mallala?

I might enter in the 4,6,Rot for the hell of it. I'll be in the 12s, so nothing majorly quick but should be interesting.

Clint, I have an entry form if you need to know more info.

Yeah but the problem is to race at the Nats you need consistency - as you have to dial in your own times. Last year I got owned by own lack of consistency (and a blown heavy duty clutch on the day :D ). Not going to bother this year 'cos my car is so slow and old this year hehe

Hmmm, thought there'd be a catch...stuff that then. Will do the 16th feb meet instead. Thanks for the heads up old boy.

It would be so nice to catch up and cruise down there guys

It's been so long since I saw you guys and your beasts.

Sorry to hear that you are not attending Nightcrawler. However that means you are available to organise a meeting point and the cruise, something that you have demonstrated to be exceptional at mate :D I was going to enter this for the fun of it but it looks like my gear box won't be ready for it. It is however should be ready for the crusie though. Damn my car is never ready for much. I should have bought a Nissan :wassup:

I heard this year is going to be bigger than any other years. There will be marques and trade displays there with the drag. Try to come along ppl. Would be nice to :D

don't get me wrong Lach - you get to do plenty of warm-up and classification runs befor the comp. actually starts - and it's bloody amazing racing in front of tons of people. I think you should go out for the Nats, it is still way fun. I was just whingeing about my bad fortune last year - don't let me tak you out of it!

Danh, we'll definitely make a meet up place to cruise out there as a group - will advise closer to the date.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
