Nice SMART pdf form.

Not having gone to this track before, what does "this test can be done on the day" mean? Does it happen at the start of the day? Or do they/or SAU pick the really loud cars and test them?

Mine is not real loud, certainly no issues with the police, but I have no idea exactly how loud it is and I assume others would be in the same situation. Assuming a car gets knocked back at the start of the day, do they lose the entry fee?

Looking forward to another day out, maybe I can catch up with XKLABA's awesome car this time.

[bored33]

Hmmm if my oil cooler ever comes in before then, I shall definitely go

[wanabedrifter]

im just wondering if I have already got a marulan licence if i still need to pay the full $130

[XKLABA]

ya killing me honestly, i've been waiting for marulan and you decide to run it the same time my wife is due, yeah thanks for that

doesn't matter though as the 34 has seen 105db at 3500rpm so i probly wouldn't even get a start

a20089 - on the day would mean they have a db reader and if they suspect its to loud they would test it, what you could do if its to loud is a different story.

sorry but your gonna have to wait till wakefield in dec to catch me, that will be my next day out

should be a good day though, everyone i've talk to thats been there loves it and say its an awesome track

[KLR32R]

Is this going to be Skylines only?

[Aggroman]

not at all.. anyone is welcome to attend

[MBS206]

Is this going to be Skylines only?

This day is going to be run by Skylines Australia, so we are the only ones entering, but we are allowing any person to enter our day with us.

OOOOH how many spots? in case i'm retarded and can't read...

i should be right with my car as is matt? maybe brake bleed?

There are only 30 spots available.

This day will only have 30 vehicles entered, 6 cars on the track at a time, and that means you should be on the track twice every 60 mins in theory.

What happens if we fail the noise test?

I've heard they drill a hole in your muffler and put a screw through to hold some wire inside. Definatly not keen for that, just want to clarify.

The test is done on cars they suspect to be too loud. If you are too loud, you can do what ever it takes to make it quieter, or not run. If you think you're going to be too loud, have the test performed before hand at an exhaust place.

As in it won't download for you, or once you fill it in it won't save?

im just wondering if I have already got a marulan licence if i still need to pay the full $130

The pricing does NOT include a licence.

The pricing is dependent on whether you are a financial member of Skylines Australia NSW.

[a20089]

I bit the bullet and purchased a sound meter. Happy to test anyone who wants to come by.

[BunsenBurna]

I'm confirmed good to go. Money to transfer tomorrow

[SNOQPY]

id love to try this track but ill have to get a db test first. im pretty sure im over 100db with my normal pipe on, would interesting to see what is is with the track pipe on,

will let you know asap

[MBS206]

Everyone should be aware, that basically the only track in NSW that doesn't have a noise restriction on it, is Eastern Creek. Even Wakefield has a noise limit quite similar to Marulan.

Marulan is just making it more aware as the locals have lodged noise complaints in the past.

[Aggroman]

so basically if we have done Wakie before we should be ok for marulan?

[MBS206]

so basically if we have done Wakie before we should be ok for marulan?

Mostly yes. Wakie isn't as strict.

Most of the cars that are at our track days are not over the noise limit.

As in it won't download for you, or once you fill it in it won't save?

Downloading the form is fine, it just wont let me save it after i'v altered or entered any of my information into the highlighted fields
