Good to meet you all and have a crack on the dyno lots of fun!  Was a Bit Gay that 40 of the trophys went to the same 2 cars, damn there where some nice cars there that should have been recognised in some way. So yeah a good weekend will be joining 'offically' soon itching to get out on the track.

[silver33gtr that take friggin ages to warm up!]

Hey Nathan, the trophies are for PRO class, there are only like 4-8 cars in that pro class though. But they are the big $$$ cars with sponsorship and stuff.

It just seems that way as they have soo many awards lol.

Your car looks sweet. Would be nice to see you at our Members Cruise (if you sign up in the next 2 weeks)

A side by side pic of yours and Jacks would be awesome.

what a fun weekend.......what can I say? I got bored so I came up with a "mission". The bad news is....wont have my computer on the net for about another week (not on mine now), so photos will have to wait....might burn em to CD an sell em at club meets....hehe:D

Great to meet and mix with all the SAU guys & girls, aswell as the fangers. Great effort by everyone involed!! Also good to see a few members swing by saying hello and introducing themselves.

everyones photos are great! keep em coming!

:(

JAGR33 - Nice, do you have the 8cm^2 or the 10's? Ive got the 8's soo responsive but still kick you in the head when you stomp it.

180-MPH - Thanks man, I took a few myself (Im a wanker from wayy back)

Ash - Big fan of your car, big grins on the dyno looked so nuts and on edge! Insane and unusable rear wheel power figures too which is what I like to see.

First up, a BIG thanks to all the people who made this years autosalon a kick-a$$ event. A special mention should be made to Ash, Adz, James, Greg and Pete who helped move all the cars around the dyno. Thanks also to Bec for printing and laminating those pics/posters to make our stand look the goods and to Paul & Sarah (sorry if I got your name wrong but with sooo many to remember from the weekend, I might be forgiven!) for 'baby-sitting' the stand while everyone was enjoying the action elsewhere.

Personally I enjoy autosalon 'cause it gives you a chance to see the whole variety of modified cars out there - anything from our SAU street driven/track cars to wild show cars with bodykits and stereos (even if some peoples tastes leave a lot to be desired). I also got to pop my autosalon dyno cherry and even though I don't run huge power it was interesting comparing results to other cars there on the day. Needless to say, Daves 604awkw run was awesome on Sat and I even managed to keep my eyebrows despite filming about 4 metres from the fireball!! I have the run on a digi film clip (around 7-8mb) so if anyone can suggest how I post it here pls PM me.

Anyway here are my better shots from the day (yes I know there are a lot of pics of promo girls next to my car but hey you don't get to do this everyday do you!!??) and those of you who asked me to take some shots of their cars (Adz, Matt etc) pls be patient as I just started a new job and have to sort out my email stuff. Soon as its sorted (hopefully over the next couple of days) I'll forward the originals on. Those who took shots for me (greg in particular!!) pls forward the original hi-res versions to [email protected]. Also who ever has an original hi-res of the group shots - SAU and SAU/fangartists (maybe Sarah??) could you please forward to the same address.

Great seeing everyone down there and hope to see you at the next event :(

Christ...Ash, is that dyno figure for real? Or was it the sort of dyno that would of even given me a figure to be proud of:)

Either way, big number:thumbsup:

...and Ant, you seem to have some kinda animal magnetism that has attractive young ladies flock to you. Must be the mans impeccable manners, fine choice in meals and drinks...rather then the carpet bombing with 'fueled by VB' and curries:)

JAGR33 - I plan to attend on the 15th def, is there a thread somwhere? am I blind or is it hidden to the public (me)?

ADZ - Yes please! I'll pm you def. Thanks.

-Nathan

Nathan - join the club, pay membership and reap the rewards!!!!!

Looking forward to the 15th!!!!

    • 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.
