lol no doubt any complaining local is going to complain every single day the track is open, just have to expect that.

right hand side is lovely for everyone except toyota drivers, right?

She's right mate, I'll plumb the exhaust into the cabin. Should quiet it down AND keep me feeling calm and relaxed...

I got quite a few comments at QR about how quiet my car was, but that was probably relative to other cars out there.

If the cars meet the required decibel level then someone just needs to tell the aulde baig to pull her head in.

If they continue to handle her with kid gloves she will continue to complain. Make her life as miserable as she appears to be.

Or play the guilt card. Do you want these people to go out and run their cars on the street because they have nowhere else to do it. It could be your kids that get hurt as a result. :)

I live next door to Amberley air base. Every month or so i give them a call and boy, you should hear them cringe on the phone until they realise that i am not whinging about the noise. I actually demand more fly overs over my roof. !!!POWAAAAAHHHHHH BABY!!! They get a kick outta that and i cant be sure but It seems like they give my place an extra buzz or 2. Luvit. :banana:

92db. What a joke. Lets just kill the whinging old bat and dump her in the lake. :)

It's not environmentally friendly to pollute the lake with a bag of shit. Maybe there's a sewerage treatmant plant nearby thats more appropriate to the task

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

It’s been loosely suggested at a racing meet I was at, that some people were going to make things go bump in the night at her house. But this isn’t a thread for that.

Can anyone confirm 92db is just for road cars/bikes? And not race cars? And what are they deeming a “race car”:

Old mate with no plates or rego stickers on his GTR with side pipes that came on a trailer, or something with log proof to show it’s actually a race car..

I believe its 92db, end of story.

Doesnt matter what car you bring along, has to meet 92db limit or you go home

It is 92db and thats that - if your too loud it is ciao and no refunds. I was there last month. On the day there were some GT3RSR's and they roar pretty good but no trouble on the meter. There was also some turbo Rx7's and no trouble for them either. Bloody great track!!

Ok. Just confirming as it was said on page one it was for street cars. Thats for clearing it up

There are noise restrictions and it is for street cars only at this stage.

Two seperate things there in the one sentence which is confusing.

There is a noise limit + tracks open only for street cars at this stage

:D

How about we just sound proof the old bag's house, with 50 tons of concrete poured onto it. Or if we care about her not dying, get some old ex racer stud to schmooze her up and convince her racing is good, with chocolates and moonlight walks by the lake.... side track. I'm not totally evil :down:

92dB Huh.

Thats about the level of a Stock HSV or XR8 Falcon.

Might have to get one of those exhaust butterflys for when I go past the Tower :thumbsup:

But In All seiousness if they have to keep turning cars away/kick them out no-one will end up going because I for one dont want to drive an hour to Brissy Pay my money only to be kicked off because I was a couple of decibels to loud and some old Hag had a whinge.

I wouldnt be going back.

      Differential Recommendations for HPDE Built R32 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).

      I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.

      I also run a CD009. I'm currently on a 4.08 and it's not great. I originally intended to run a 3.3 but had issues, more on that later. I'd stick to anywhere between a 3.3-3.7 as found in the 350z.  As for brands of ring and pinions, absolutely stay away from Speedtek. They are absolute garbage. See my build thread for more information on that. I went through two of there 3.3's and both had bad runout. They were paperweights and they have still yet to refund me.  I ended up putting in a Nissan 4.08, which was better then the original 4.36 but is far from ideal. I'm going to pop a 3.5 in this winter. I'd stick Nissan. I've also heard of a company "Neat Gearboxes" that makes them. Haven't tried them, but they can't be worst then Speedtek...

      You should Nistune the ECU, so you have freedom to use modern injectors instead of replacing with the same old shit. This is also required if you want to boost it up above ~200rwkW, where the stock injectors will be running out of capacity. Having said that, it is unlikely that the injectors need replacing just 'coz. If you imported it from Japan, the fuel should have been pretty good quality for the whole life of the car.
