Right next to the Speedboat Club.

Heaps of you guys have been to my house before, think about where my house is in relation to AIR/Speedway, because I can hear the sprint cars from here. Having said that, its only in certain weather conditions and Ive never heard it inside the house.

Having been to the proposed location, I would be suprised if it failed. TBH I reckon Taperoo and Osborne would be more likely to hear it than the port, but the prevailing wind comes from the SW, so it would blow the sound over water towards bolivar...

The EPA allow certain noise levels above ambient noise. So a drag strip may be loud, but can still be approved with the right buffer zone and noise level buffer above ambient.

:cool:

^^ If the speed boats are making that much noise on a regular basis, surely it's not that big a deal for drag racing to occur once a month, especially with the sound barrier that would be around it.

Really want this to happen as well, would be nice just to take my line down to a drag strip just to see what it does. Not that I'm expecting heaps.... still would stop me being curious.....

Personally I'd like to see the event be open every Friday and Saturday night, since those are the two days you really want to let off steam and go party - would be good if they were able to build a petrol station right outside the venue too, with e85, methanol, lpg, 98 oct, diesel, nos etc etc

sydney has wednesday night drags air used too as well

for sure, they have to have some kind of regular weekly events to justify the cost being spent on it - whats a speedway's use when its closed? bugger all eh, as we've found out since AIR closed...

they'll have to have some kinda schedule, keep the noisiest events for the daytime or during the weekends and then have general stuff like grip/drift prac during week nights - Im sure many people here would be weekly participants

Yeah would be good if it ran street meets fairly regularly, would come down to the amount of people turning up I guess & how much some locals bitch & moan if noise does turn out to be an issue (there always has to be one or 2. I wouldn't think there'd be a shortage of willing participants.

even if they had just a petrol station/ cafe-restaurant-diner / car wash / car park it'd be an ideal place for people to meet

provided the law respects the venue for what it is and doesnt simply use it as a cash net - this is dependant on what mister premier says too

thing is, you get the stuff that people want to have around for their cars ie petrol, a place for them to clean it, catch a bite, maybe even put in self serve garages with hoists similar to the rentable garages at lala...

possibilities are endless

that would be a great location for the track

Im down near pelican point road and we can hear the speed boats on the weekends very clearly most events, thing is I can put up with the odd event of drags or race cars.

Most of you know where i live and i hear the speed boats very clearly but i wouldnt care if i heard drags ect, its not like it would be after midnight and it would be on weekends

Its no different to the drag strip on victoria rd anyway lol

thats so true. 12pm is the curfew for most noise, and I believe private parties are able to continue to 3am in most suburbs depending on noise levels of course

if this was to go ahead, id be seriously considering investing in some kind of small business like a cafe/car wash venue.... could even have a bunch of simple 8x4 portable rooms leased out to the assorted car clubs across sa, ie the evo grp, hsv, sausa, supra grp, porsche club etc

would be an excellent alternative to renting out private property around the suburbs

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
