Hey Guys,

I have been talking to Keith from Queensland Raceway and they are planning on having the calendar for Lakeside sorted out late next week. At this stage nobody has been given any firm dates. The Time Attack day will be the next private track event held at Lakeside. We are also up the top of the priority list for dates this year.

the noise limit was 92db last Wednesday. If you were over that, you got sent home - no refund. I'd say that's what they're going to stay with. So make sure your car is quiet before you go to Lakeside - it will save you money/hassle, and it will keep the local residents happy - well, as happy as possible. Noisy cars will ruin this for everyone.

I don't think so. If the noise limit and conditions are made clear before you enter, no problem. The possibility of forfeiting an entry fee might make people make sure their car is quiet enough before they go out there - which is best for everyone. If Lakeside is to survive, noise restrictions need to be taken seriously.

should add its a 92db drive by restriction - so you're on the track when you are measured.

good-o 92db at which distance and on which side of the car (please say right, please say right, please say right)

I would suggest noise measurement would be from the outside of the track, which is where the houses are. That would make it left side of the car. However as you know pits is on the right side so maybe they stand there? HRD-HR30 would know more having been there.

Apparently there's just one particular resident who does the complaining, a lady who evidently isn't into racing.

Re the Db meter, it was positioned on the wall below the tower, so, on the right side of the car. That's not to say it won't be moved in the future. Maybe someone involved can tell us if it's gonna be in a fixed position?

I assume the meter looks something like this (but no weather gear of course):

So maybe if someone used something like this:

....everybody would be happy. Except the little old lady who complains cause she's got nothing better to do, but Australia has pretty much always been a "majority rules" country anyway :P

      Best add on carbon side skirts

      I want someone to make side skirt extensions. But by 'extensions' I mean running from one side of the car to the other, forming a flat undertray, maybe one that runs to the front and rear of the car too

      Meh, maybe the JSAI ones are FG not CF. But, given that I'm not convinced any of these look any good, it hardly matters.

      Skyline Washer Nozzle Compatibility

      Got them in the other day. I can confirm the r33/r34 nozzles (B8K30-AA000) are the exact same. Hope this helps anyone else that comes looking for it

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah, I should state I have no overheating issues except when it's sitting idle, with AC on (and only then) and only on VERY VERY hot days. And it stops if I turn the AC off. But I put a lot of effort into making this thing run like a regular car, I want the AC to work when I want it to work. I need no excuses as to why I should make some other thing a daily! And tbf, the thing does heat soak pretty bad, not much I can do with the exhaust running under the driver's seat, you can feel it through your shoes/pants when you step out of the car, too. Point being, aircon inside the cabin is on pretty frequently. I did think about removing heater hoses to simplify the engine bay/back of engine because I cannot imagine a scenario where I ever need a heater. Except for defogging, but doesn't AC do that, not the heater? So in this very limited situation, raising the rear could work, purely to let hot air out. I've ran the car at the track on a 35C day with the aircon on, and it doesn't overheat in that scenario so that's why I thought it was due to heat soak/heat buildup and not just general overheating under load. I had previously tried shrouding the radiator, changing my balancer to a non-underdriven one to spin the water pump more at idle too, and installing two more thermo fans on the other side of the radiator/AC condenser. (So I have 4 now, 2 pushing, 2 pulling from the rad) neither really helped in this very limited scenario. I don't know if the vents will, but visually seeing the heat steaming out of them did give me hope, not to mention the temperature of the vents was MUCH hotter than other areas of the bonnet. Enough that one of the paint guys was unsure as to whether paint would stick to it long term. I'm sure that will be fine also.
