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.

      I had the Blitz bonnet on my old boat and never had a issue with overheating anywhere Same car, but, after I sold it, weirdly I cannot find any pictures of it when I had it, maybe I deleted them all because they "triggered' me...LOL

      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.

      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

      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.
