hmm...

yes yes yes, the skills day was pretty much rained out yesterday. it was wwwwwet!

re: pas, they are continuing the race-bred theme. theyve got video footage of track events and the drift day - and are apparently looking to have time trials with gran Turismo on PS2 set up.

New shirts are being organised, with plastic numberplates as per the thread in the general SAUWA section......um....

SST are organising a pre PAS dyno day for SAUWA entrants...more than that I dont really know.

I think I may be along for the SPL input, but I'm really bummed with how my car looks at the moment, and the stereo is butt-ugly, it just sounds loud.....

I'm not keen in putting my car in for the SPL thingo when mine looks as basic as it does.. I have no special fibrglass moulding or latest amp/sub combos.. or in car tv... or neons - though I'm quite happy about that last one.. :D

but you've got a grand and a half install..

with shiny alpha thingies.

Cam, It's not how flash the thing looks, it's how loud the damn thing is:D So people bring stripped out mini's with 20" subs, even yours will look good compared to that:p

Danny, I think Al managed to cover most things, I replied in the PAS thread:D

paully - what difference will it make if we do/don't enter the SPL at PAS?

i.e., will the broader SAUWA community benefit greatly from our participation and in what way? Im happy(ish) to be involved, but I'm wary of the shopping-list history that PAS has had in the past and although I woundnt mind knowing what my car makes spl wise, I'd rather not be seen to be talking up what is really a pretty basic amp and sub combo..

    • 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.
