So in an effort to bring a professionally run Time Attack event to Vic, Jason (who many of you know) has put some skin on the line to promote VTA.

It's interesting as the big WTAC draws competitors from all over, while the smaller VTA and NSWTA struggle to get entries.

So with VTA for 2016 there is a demo/testing class, which for $250 you get access to the track and a huge amount of testing time.

It's looking like 4-5 groups on the day, so break that down into 12 minute sessions and you'd expect 7 sessions atleast.

Yes, yes Time Attack cars come with oil. I think you'll find the teams that are coming for VTA won't bring those issues. If we do the WAP oil soak machine will be on-hand to clean things up quickly.

For $250 you get access to the demo/testing class. Yep bit more expensive than a PIRAC day, but there are only going to be 50-60 cars, not 100+.

Yes it's a Friday, which is a little odd. But value for money track time, this day has it down pat.

This offer is available to anyone, so if you know anyone wanting to do testing let them know.

Oh and it's a 95db day.

Everyone will have their own preference on ecu and fuel management systems but I agree people like to follow popular opinion, regardless of whether or not it's based on truth. I have seen cars putting out over 400rwkw with a PowerFC doing just fine. Going higher power output some people tend to favour the additional tuning features that come with more expensive systems, such as Motec or Haltech. Each to their own, whatever works.

Very impressive John, especially on those tyres! Would you go to AO50 if you could use them in the same class without putting you in Modified? If your R33 is classified as Street then it's still road registered???

Has to have rego for WTAC rules, waste money really.

PFC is PnP and just works. My car is pretty simple, so it works well.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
