Driftmania - Simmons, did you go? what did you think? where abouts were you?


Recommended Posts

Two very long days but really worth while. Enjoyed both thoroughly. Looking forward to next year. was in the pits watching today.

Hey man yeah i saw your car in there respresenting!

didn't have a good look though was too busy, wandering around different vantage points got some really good footage though which is sweet.

Yeh was a fantastic day... Thanks goes out to Adam for taking me on the Drift of a Lifetime!

Was the best experience i have ever had! Its absolutly crazy how fast they go sideways! and an incredible feeling of facing a wall yet still in control!

Most impressive was the hairpin, accellerate into it in third, handbrake then power all way through!

Reverse track and its gonna be made safer so they can run it reverse more often!

best bit of my ride was the Munji down the straight, huge angles and speed and then too hot into the sweeper spinning out!!!

Hey Thanks dude, its my baby lol.

I'll keep an eye out for yours.

You can keep your eyes peeled as much as you want but she's been in the shed for the last 18months having a overhaul... not long now tho... gotta stop with the distractions (AKA drinking and motorsport events).

    • 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 👌
