MrGTST - don't worry man - I'd way be in the same boat.. thats why I'm still thinking of if I should compete or not...

What say I bring down a few helmets and we see what happens?

Anyone got a plan/where to meet worked out? Maybe we should meet up south perth way and all head in together?

"Don't be soft, it's easy.." I've heard and followed that advice before.. hehe.... tends to hurt...

But seriously - I'll be running with a 14, maybe 13.8 second car.. nothing flash so I can't see how I'm going to do anything cept for hurt my stock clutch some more..

OK fair enough.... Another question.... Is there a BP nearby that sells BP Ultimate??? I ask because since I boosted my car really chews through the petrol quickly... To the extent I am concerned about getting there and back on one tank of fuel!!! The cruise to Yanchep should be interesting too!!!

I dunno about that... Maybe its my lead foot but I use about a quarter of a tank just going to Scarborough and back and I live near Warwick so its not very far at all.... Dare I even try to drive the 40 plus K's one way to the Motorplex drag and try to get home :P

I think you could put it down to my lead foot and the fact that I am still enjoying the novelty of high boost all the time.... even when its not needed.....

"I think I will go to the shops .... that will require high boost for sure" :P

    • 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.
