NOISE TESTING

When - 18th March ( Tomorrow )

Time - 10am start

Where - Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre

Cost - !! FREE !!

Mt Cotton have come to the party :) as it's not something they normally do they have decided to give us 1 hour FREE so they can 'see how it goes' and decide if it's a service they should be providing (at a cost in future) - how many cars get tested will come down to how organised we are

Anybody planning on attending SkidPan/LVMA events in the future here is your oppurtunity to know where you stand in regards to the noise restrictions placed on cars participating.. 5 spots up for grabs

will a fine turnup in the mail if we dont pass

No there will be NO come backs from this ... last SkidPan event there was a number of cars that "failed" but there was no problems .. just meant that those cars couldn't use the facility

Mt Cotton are only concerned with meeting the EPA obligations for the facility

Are they now restricting cars into the premise that they suspect are above Db limit?

If they find your car is over the limit will they note it, and restrict you next time you wish to use there facilities?

They are now enforcing a 90Db limit on cars participating in events at the complex. - Council / EPA requirements. Last time we had a members only SkidPAn event all cars got tested before being allowed on the SkidPan

As a side note I also noticed on the Dutton Rally site that all participating vehicles are required to meet a 90dB level (ie .. the legal limit)

Nah its just for competitors on the facility and they dont care how it got there or where its going its just for the competitor cars on their grounds and as an offer for SAU Qld to check before we actually do it and dont get knocked back after we've paid in advance.

seriously ed, easy fix, get a piece of 2mm steel sheet metal. Cut it into the shape of a 2 bolt exhaust flange, drill 20 or so holes in it (less depending on how quiet and how much power you want to loose) and then slide it up between your catback and cant converter flanges.

oh, who won overall?

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
