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

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
